Fleet Budget Guard

Goal: Attribute and cap token/API spend before fleet scale surprises the finance team.

When to use

  • 2+ unattended or scheduled loops
  • Sub-agents multiply cost
  • Nobody owns the bill

Week one (F1)

Caps and reporting only — hard stop without disabling agents first.

Artifact

Copy templates/fleet-budget.md:

## Team cap (monthly tokens): 50_000_000

| Agent | Daily cap | Owner | Alert at |
|-------|-----------|-------|----------|
| daily-triage | 100_000 | platform | 80% |
| pr-babysitter | 2_000_000 | eng | 80% |

Admission control

When agent exceeds daily cap:

  1. Pause scheduler for that agent only
  2. Notify owner
  3. Require inbox approval to raise cap

Pair with loop engineering

Use loop-cost estimates when setting caps.

Human gates

  • Cap override > 2× default
  • Moving agent to F3 unattended without budget history
