AI Agent Firewall & Budget Protector

A middleware tool that sits between developers and LLM APIs to detect infinite loops, runaway agentic behavior, and enforce hard token/budget limits. It automatically halts execution if an agent attempts to read an entire codebase unnecessarily or gets stuck in a retry loop.

Differentiation

Our angle
There is a critical lack of middleware that protects users from runaway LLM costs, enforces hard budget limits, and automatically verifies code outputs to prevent hallucinations.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • it read my entire code base blew through 100% of my usage and has been going for 20 minutes with no answer...
  • made claude shit out for me retry over 8 times on its own and then use my free limit
  • burns tokens like crazy... Just a minor bug fix and a few unit tests, and I have 15% used of my Max subscription limit
  • Spent 70% of my monthly budget of $200 in 5 hours right after my account was converted from pro to enterprise.
  • What really annoys me is that they clearly laid out in the post-mortem that they knew about these issues... But this was the first word about it?
  • Which we all know is an absolute lie anyway... the problem stems from nerfed models.
  • There is something seriously wrong with the usage tracking... sometimes I can spend 4 hours... other times 20 mins of usage maxes out the entire session...
