Check job spending ceiling before API call
The agent verifies the spending limit for a specific job before making an API call, ensuring the action stays within the defined budget ceiling.
How it works
Read-onlyOperations and infrastructure
The agent identifies the job context for an upcoming API call. It queries the AgentBill MCP server to retrieve the current usage and the defined ceiling for that job. The agent compares the projected cost against the remaining ceiling. If the ceiling is exceeded, the agent warns the user or refuses the action to prevent overspending.
