Budget previews and cost governance

Preview whether tool/model calls would exceed budgets before usage is recorded.

Prerequisites

• Budget policy configured or planned

Budget validation

1. Create a policy for workspace, user, or session scope.
2. Preview a proposed call with estimated tokens/cost before enforcing.
3. Use grouped usage to explain spend by workspace, user, session, agent, tool, provider, or model as data becomes available.

Validate

• Create workspace/user/session budget
• Run budget preview
• Confirm allow/warn/block action
• Check grouped usage by workspace/user/session

Next steps

• Attach budget evidence to session timeline
• Tune budget policy thresholds
