Managing costs for multi-agent AI systems requires a two-tiered approach beyond simple prompt-level budgets. The first tier involves deterministic enforcement, typically a middleware or proxy that mechanically limits API calls, preventing agents from exceeding predefined spending caps. The second tier is the agent's judgment, which determines if a task warrants using paid tools at all, acting as a novelty gate to filter out trivial requests. This separation ensures that agents can make informed decisions about resource allocation while a hard counter prevents unexpected expenses. AI
