Budgeting & Spending Limits

Set spending limits and budgets for agent actions. Control costs and prevent runaway spending.

What are Budgets?

Budgets allow you to set spending limits for agent actions, either globally or per-tool. When budgets are exceeded, actions can be automatically blocked or require additional approval.

Key Features

• Cost Ceilings - Set maximum spending limits per day, week, or month
• Per-Tool Budgets - Allocate budgets to specific tools (e.g., API calls, cloud resources)
• Per-Agent Budgets - Set spending limits per agent or team
• Automatic Throttling - Automatically throttle actions when approaching budget limits
• Budget Alerts - Get notified when budgets are approaching limits
• Budget Reports - Track spending over time with detailed reports

Use Cases

Prevent unexpected costs by setting hard limits on spending. Automatically block actions that would exceed budgets.

Resource Management

Allocate resources fairly across teams or projects by setting per-team budgets and ensuring no single team consumes all resources.

Compliance

Meet financial compliance requirements by enforcing spending limits and maintaining detailed spending records.
