SpendFirewall integration
SpendFirewall + OpenAI API
Integrate SpendFirewall with the OpenAI API. Wrap the OpenAI SDK with a 5ms policy check that caps per-request token cost, daily spend ceilings, and function-call transaction limits.
How the integration works
Integrate SpendFirewall with the OpenAI API. Wrap the OpenAI SDK with a 5ms policy check that caps per-request token cost, daily spend ceilings, and function-call transaction limits. The integration is a 5ms policy check inserted between your agent's spend intent and the actual openai api call.
Setup
- Create a SpendFirewall account and get your API key
- Add the SpendFirewall SDK to your OpenAI API integration
- Configure your spend policy: per-transaction limit, daily ceiling, merchant allowlist
- Every OpenAI API call now passes through the policy check
What gets enforced
- Per-transaction cost ceiling
- Daily spend ceiling
- Velocity cap (transactions per minute)
- Merchant allowlist
- Audit trail for every transaction
Frequently asked questions
Does this slow down my agent?
No. The policy check adds 5ms of latency, far below typical network latency to OpenAI API.
Can I disable the policy mid-run?
Only with admin override. Disabling is logged and alerted on.
