Agent Cost Control for ML Engineers

Your experiments, evals, and agent fleets spend on inference — and the bill scales with every parallel run. Cap it before it caps your GPU budget.

The ML problem

Eval fleets spawn hundreds of parallel agent runs — cheap per call, expensive in aggregate.

Retry loops on failing evals re-run inference continuously.

Model drift to pricier tiers changes the bill without a code change.

What ML teams get

Per-run and per-fleet ceilings enforced deterministically.

Velocity limits that kill retry loops mid-run.

Category rules: inference, data, and compute budgets stay separate.

How to deploy

Call sipi.bot from the harness before each spend, or add the guard tool to your agent framework (LangChain, LangGraph, Pydantic AI, ...).

FAQ

Does it add overhead to eval runs?

About 5 ms per check — negligible next to inference latency.

Can I budget by experiment?

Yes — per-agent rules let each experiment have its own ceiling.

Does it work with my framework?

LangChain, LangGraph, Pydantic AI, SmolAgents, LlamaIndex, and plain HTTP all supported.
