Platform · Spend management
Know the cost of every turn—not just the monthly bill.
IntSen costs every governed request and rolls it up to the turn, agent, use case and team—then enforces the budgets and per-turn limits you set.
Budgets in use
Alerts at 50 / 80 / 100 % · deny or alert when exceeded
Illustrative product scenario — synthetic data
The problem
The provider invoice tells you how much. Not who, or why.
A single bill covers every team and agent. A looping agent can burn through budget in minutes, and nobody sees it until the invoice arrives.
- No attribution to agent, use case or team
- No limit on a single runaway turn
- Evaluation and safety-check spend mixed into everything else

Technical detail
How cost is attributed and enforced
Budgets are checked in the request path, before the provider is called.
tasks: limits: { maxCostUsdPerTask: 0.50, maxDurationSeconds: 900 }budget: { monthlyUsd: 1500, onExceed: alert }- Registration
- monthlyUsd, perRequestMaxUsd, onExceed: deny | alert
- Agent
- monthly budget, plus per-turn limits
- Turn
- maxCostUsdPerTask, maxDurationSeconds, optional maxRequestsPerTask
- Over a turn limit
- next call refused with task_budget_exceeded; the turn ends as limit
- Alerts
- 50 / 80 / 100 % of budget; usage monitors for unusual use
Why it matters
For the people accountable for it
FinOps
Attribute AI spend to the agent and team that created it.
AI platform
Set guardrails on spend per use case without blocking innovation.
Engineering
A per-turn limit is the simplest protection against an agent stuck in a tool loop.
Boundaries
What to know before you evaluate
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them in a pilot.
- Cost is calculated from catalog prices and recorded usage; it is an operational figure, not your provider invoice.
- Chargeback, effective-cost allocation and invoice reconciliation are planned for after the first release.
- Only governed traffic is costed; spend through direct provider keys is not visible.
FAQ
Common questions
What happens when a budget is exceeded?
With onExceed: deny, further calls are refused with a code. With alert, calls continue and owners are notified.
How do we pick a per-turn limit?
A little above your longest normal turn. The Console shows turn costs and durations to help you set it.
Can we export spend?
Yes. The Console's FinOps view supports CSV export of monthly spend.
