Per-Agent Spend Limits
A per-agent limit is the agent's own budget — a ceiling it can't exceed regardless of what it's doing.
What it covers
Every transaction the agent attempts, across all merchants.
Daily and monthly ceilings scoped to one agent key.
What it stops
One runaway agent bleeding the shared bill.
Fleet-wide compounding — each agent is bounded individually.
What it doesn't
Cross-agent coordination: 50 agents each under their own limit can still sum large. Pair with a shared fleet cap for that.

FAQ
How do I set them?
Rules are per-agent or per-key — assign a ceiling at key creation.
