How Much Should My AI Agent Be Allowed to Spend?

Recommended daily limits and per-transaction caps for AI agents at every stage.

Start small and scale up. For a new AI agent: $10/day with a $5 per-transaction cap, monitored for 2 weeks. For a trusted agent: $50-$100/day with a $25 per-transaction cap. For production agents handling critical purchases: $500/day with a $100 per-transaction cap and human approval required above $250. The key principle: start small, monitor actual spending patterns, and increase limits based on real data, not assumptions.
