Agent Spend Controls for Product Managers
You own the roadmap and the budget. Agent features ship fast — and their spend lands on your line. Budget enforcement shouldn't be a surprise at month-end.
The PM problem
Agent features generate variable cost per user action.
A runaway loop in one session can eat a week of margin.
Provider dashboards show the bill; they don't enforce the budget.
What PMs get
Per-agent and per-feature budgets enforced in real time.
FLAGGED transactions routed to an approval queue — the product equivalent of a spend review.
Usage data (via the audit log) to price features honestly.
How to deploy
Integrate once behind your agent's spend path; set rules per feature or plan tier.

FAQ
Can I cap spend per plan tier?
Yes — per-agent rules let each tier or feature run its own ceiling.
Does it help price the product?
The audit log shows real spend per agent, which is the data you need for honest pricing.
