A rate governor that enforces per-agent and fleet-wide API spend limits before multi-agent OpenClaw deployments burn through budgets
OpenClaw's creator just posted a $1.3M monthly OpenAI bill from 100 Codex agents running across 7.6 million requests. OpenAI covered that bill, but regular teams running 5-20 agents on their own API keys have no fleet-level spend controls. OpenClaw ships zero token budgets, zero daily caps, and zero circuit breakers for retry loops. This tool sits between OpenClaw agents and LLM provider APIs, enforcing hard per-agent and fleet-aggregate spend limits with automatic throttling when budgets approach thresholds.

Gap Assessment
3 tools exist (OpenRouter, Helicone, Smart Model Manager for OpenClaw) but gaps remain: No per-agent budget tracking, no fleet-aggregate limits, no circuit breaker for retry loops, no self-hosted option; Monitoring and alerts only, does not enforce hard spend limits or kill runaway agents. No fleet-level governance..
