A new tool called Runcap has emerged to address the issue of runaway AI agent costs, offering a unique pre-flight cost control mechanism. Unlike observability tools like Langfuse or gateways such as LiteLLM, Runcap operates as a proxy that estimates and enforces a hard cost ceiling before AI calls are made. It also features a novel token compression technique that reduces costs by sending only the changes between file versions rather than the entire file for re-reading. AI
