For the agents you already run
The bill arrives in 30 days.
The loop is running now.
A single stuck agent can burn thousands of dollars before anyone looks at a dashboard. AgentHippo adds the layer most agent stacks are missing: a hard spend limit enforced before each model call, every dollar attributed to a person, and an off switch that actually stops the agent — without changing your framework, your provider, or the model gateway you already run.
› What this prevents
The five-figure surprise
Alerts fire after the money is gone. AgentHippo reserves against the limit before the model call goes out — the request that would cross your cap is blocked with an error the agent must handle, not a warning someone reads tomorrow.
The bill nobody owns
One shared API key means one anonymous invoice. AgentHippo attributes every dollar to the verified person and session that spent it — carried on a signed, short-lived token the agent can't fake, not a header anyone can set.
The agent that won't die
Revoking an API key breaks everything else that uses it. AgentHippo stops exactly what you choose — one agent, one user, or the whole fleet — from one console, effective in under a minute, with one-command rollback to the last good version.
The version that tripled your cost
A prompt change ships, token use quietly triples. Because every version is signed and every dollar attributed, the regression shows up in cost-per-version within hours — and rolling back is re-pinning the previous version, not a redeploy scramble.
› How it fits what you already run
AgentHippo sits between your agents and your models as the enforcement point. Your agent authenticates with a short-lived signed token; the limit is checked, the spend is attributed, and the call goes upstream — to your provider directly, to the LiteLLM or company gateway you already operate, or to your own local or self-hosted models. You keep your gateway; AgentHippo adds the enforcement it doesn't do.
# Before: agent → provider (shared key, no limit, no owner)
base_url = "https://api.provider.com/v1"
# After: agent → AgentHippo → your provider or existing gateway
base_url = "https://gateway.your-domain.com/v1"
# What you get on every call, enforced server-side:
# spend limit checked BEFORE the call — over-limit is blocked
# cost attributed to the verified person, not the key
# stop/rollback from your console, effective < 60s Works with agents built on Claude Code, Codex, LangChain, or anything that speaks an OpenAI-compatible API. Limits apply per agent deployment and per user; a capped model with no configured price fails closed rather than passing uncapped.

The next exposure: data
Your agent still logs into the database as everyone. Give it per-user permissions, enforced by the database itself.
