A failover proxy that swaps banned OAuth connections to working alternatives automatically when providers cut you off

Google permanently banned $250/month Antigravity subscribers who connected via OpenClaw OAuth. Anthropic killed Claude OAuth for all third-party tools overnight, breaking thousands of active setups with no migration path. Every time a provider decides OpenClaw violates their ToS, users lose access to critical integrations with zero warning. This tool maintains a resilient connection layer that detects provider bans in real time, automatically switches to alternative authentication methods, and keeps your agents running through provider policy changes.

Gap Assessment

UnderservedExisting solutions leave gaps. Underserved market

2 tools exist (9Router, ClawRouter) but gaps remain: Provider routing but no ban detection, no automatic failover on policy changes, no credential management; Cost optimization focus, no OAuth monitoring, no ban detection, no authentication failover.

Features3 agent-ready prompts

Heartbeat checker that tests each OAuth connection on a schedule, detects 403/ban responses, and marks the provider as down
Proxy that routes API calls through backup OAuth credentials or alternative providers when the primary connection is banned
Aggregator that monitors provider TOS changes, API deprecation notices, and community ban reports and flags at-risk connections
