AgentWatch: Prevent Runaway AI Agents with Runtime Budget Enforcement
AgentWatch is an edge service that prevents AI agents from running wild by enforcing session budgets, detecting loops, and providing configurable failover. Integration requires only a base URL change and key combination, no SDK. Supports major providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. Pricing includes Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers.

Features
Runtime governance for AI agents.
Not just a dashboard. A spending limit on your AI credit card.
Pre-call budget enforcement
Every request checked before it hits the provider. Over budget? Blocked with a 402. Instant.
Session Budget $0.00 / $2.00
0 calls passed Near limit
2-line integration
Change your base URL. Combine your keys. Done. No SDK, no library, no vendor lock-in.
Session-level budgets
Dollar ceiling per session, not per-request. Agents make hundreds of calls — the budget lives at session level.
Loop detection alerts
Catches recursive patterns before they spiral. Slack alerts the moment context grows exponentially.
Configurable Failover
Choose fail-open (requests proceed if AgentWatch is down) or fail-closed (hard-stop to guarantee budgets). Enterprise controls the policy.
Zero data retention
We never store prompts or completions. Only metadata: tokens, latency, cost. Your data stays yours.
Automated Compliance
One-click SOC 2 evidence exports. SLA monitoring. EU Data Residency. Pre-built enterprise governance.
How it Works
Three steps. Zero runaway spend.
01
Set your budget
Define a dollar ceiling per session. AgentWatch enforces it at the edge, before any API call goes through.
02
Change your base URL
One line in your config. Your existing OpenAI or Anthropic code works unchanged. No SDK, no library.
03
Ship with confidence
Your agents run. Your budget is enforced. If an agent loops, it gets blocked — not your wallet.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AgentWatch.
What is AgentWatch?
The spending limit on your AI credit card. AgentWatch sits between your app and LLM providers. When an agent tries to spend more than its session budget, the call is blocked — before it happens.
How does budget enforcement work?
Every request goes through a synchronous budget check. If the session has exceeded its dollar ceiling, AgentWatch returns a 402 and blocks the call. This happens in under a millisecond at the edge.
What happens if AgentWatch goes down?
AgentWatch is fully configurable. By default, it fails open — meaning if we have an issue, your API calls proceed normally. For cost-sensitive workloads, you can configure it to 'Fail Closed', ensuring strict budget enforcement even during infrastructure outages.
Can't developers just bypass it?
AgentWatch works via environment variables set at the platform level (Vercel, AWS, Fly.io). It's enforced by company policy, like a VPN or expense policy. For technical enforcement where developers cannot bypass, that's our Enterprise tier — available on custom contracts.
How much does AgentWatch cost?
The Free tier includes 50,000 requests per month with full budget enforcement — no credit card required. Pro is $99/mo for 500,000 requests with caching, failover, and alerts. Enterprise is custom pricing for unlimited requests, SLA, SOC2, and SSO.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free tier includes 50,000 requests per month with full budget enforcement, anomaly detection, and basic dashboard access. No credit card, no time limit. Upgrade to Pro when you need caching, failover, and Slack alerts.
What's included in Enterprise?
Everything in Pro, plus a 99.9% SLA guarantee, SOC 2 compliance exports, SSO (SAML), Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock support, custom data residency, and priority Slack support with a dedicated engineer. Same BYOK architecture — you keep full control of your keys.
How long does integration take?
Under 2 minutes. Change your base URL, combine your keys. That's it. No SDK to install, no library to import, no code changes required.
How do I integrate AgentWatch with OpenAI?
Change your base_url to 'https://api.agent-watch.dev/v1/proxy/openai' and combine your AgentWatch token with your OpenAI API key using a colon separator. That's the only change needed — your existing OpenAI code works unchanged.
Does AgentWatch work with Anthropic Claude?
Yes. AgentWatch supports all major providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, xAI, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Xiaomi MiMo, Mistral, and Cohere. Set your ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to route Claude requests through AgentWatch.
Can I use this with local agents or IDEs like Cursor and AutoGPT?
Yes! Because AgentWatch requires no SDK, you can force any AI agent or IDE plugin to route through it. Just set the OPENAI_BASE_URL or ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variables on your laptop, or paste the AgentWatch URL into your tool's 'Custom Endpoint' settings.
What providers do you support?
We support over 1,063+ models instantly via our comprehensive pricing database. This includes all models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, xAI, Google Gemini, Xiaomi MiMo, Mistral, Cohere, and many more. Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock available on Enterprise plans.
Is my data secure?
We never store your prompts or completions — only metadata. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Runs on Cloudflare's edge with DDoS protection. Enterprise plans include SOC 2 compliance, SSO, and custom data residency.
