Spend Control for Security AI Agents
Security teams automate the most aggressive agents in the industry: pentesting bots, SOC triage, and threat-intel collectors. They spend on inference, sandboxes, and data feeds — and the irony is that the agents protecting your budget can blow it.
Where security agents spend
Pentest agents launching scans and LLM-driven exploit research.
SOC triage agents running inference over alerts and logs.
Threat-intel collectors pulling paid feeds and OSINT databases.
Sandbox and malware-analysis agents with per-sample processing costs.
The failure modes that hurt security most
A pentest agent retrying a failed scan against thousands of hosts multiplies spend — velocity limits stop it.
A threat-intel agent buying from an unvetted data vendor bypasses procurement. Allowlist it.
Unattended overnight collection without a time-of-day rule runs unreviewed.
Which rules to start with
Per-agent daily ceiling — every tool in the stack gets its own budget.
Velocity limit on scan and API retries.
Merchant allowlist for approved intel vendors and sandboxes.
Audit log so every tool charge is attributable.
How to deploy it
The same agents that call your tools call sipi.bot first: amount, merchant, category → APPROVED, BLOCKED, or FLAGGED in ~5 ms, fully logged. The firewall itself is deterministic — no model in the decision path to inject or confuse.
The rules that matter most
| Rule | Why it matters in security |
|---|---|
| Per-agent daily ceiling | Every tool gets its own budget |
| Velocity limit | Scan retry loops die fast |
| Merchant allowlist | Unvetted intel vendors never get billed |
| Audit log | Every charge is attributable |
FAQ
Could a firewall be a security risk itself?
sipi.bot's decision path is a deterministic rules engine — no LLM in the loop — and the core is MIT-licensed for self-hosting. See the security page for the full threat model.
Can sipi.bot handle high-volume triage agents?
Decisions take ~5 ms and there are no per-call fees on hosted plans — unlimited evaluations on Team and Business.
Does it work with MCP-based security tools?
Yes. sipi.bot is a native MCP tool, so any MCP client — including security agents built on the protocol — calls it directly.
