Why Did My AI Agent Run Up a Massive API Bill Overnight?

Recursive loop spend: when an autonomous agent gets stuck arguing with an API error.

The Sub-Millisecond Code Fix

Exogram places a hard circuit-breaker outside the AI runtime. When an agent exceeds its token budget or invokes identical tool signatures repeatedly, Exogram terminates execution instantly and triggers a webhook alert.

import { ExogramLoopGuard } from '@exogram/sdk';
const guard = new ExogramLoopGuard({ maxSpendDollars: 25.00, maxRetries: 3 });

export async function runResearchAgent(taskId: string) {
    // Automatically cuts execution if agent exceeds $25 budget or loops 3 times
    return guard.wrapSession(taskId, async () => {
        return agentSwarm.execute();
    });
}
