Red Flags in AI Agent Spend

Runaway spend leaves tracks. These are the warning signs — and the rules that stop each one.

Red Flags in Agent Spend

Runaway spend doesn't announce itself — but it leaves tracks. These seven red flags are the ones the incident database keeps showing up.

Red Flags in MCP Servers

MCP servers are third-party code with access to your agent's tools — and potentially its wallet. Vet them the way you'd vet any dependency.

Red Flags in Agent Payment Rails

Payment rails for agents are new — and new infrastructure deserves extra scrutiny. These are the red flags to check before a wallet touches your system.

Off Hours Billing Activity

Warning sign.

Stop the next $12,400 night.

One API call (or MCP tool) in front of every agent transaction — APPROVED, BLOCKED, or FLAGGED, deterministic, ~5 ms, fully logged.

Bills & logs

Red Flags in LLM API Bills

Your LLM bill is a signal. These six patterns say something's wrong — usually an agent doing more than you think.

Red Flags in Agent Logs

Agent logs tell you what's about to happen before the bill does. These six patterns are the ones to automate detection for.

Subscriptions

Red Flags in AI Agent Subscriptions

Subscription spend is the quiet part of the AI budget — monthly, automatic, and easy to ignore. These six flags say it's drifting.

Key management

Red Flags in API Key Management

API keys are credentials — and leaked keys are spend before they're headlines. Here are the red flags that mean trouble.

Voice agents

Red Flags in Voice Agent Spend

Voice agents bill per minute and per token — the red flags are about unbounded volume, not rates.
