AgentGuard

AgentGuard is a real-time protection layer designed to safeguard AI agents and applications from runaway execution, excessive costs, and unsafe behavior during interaction with large language model APIs. It works by intercepting API calls made by an AI system and continuously monitoring usage, including token consumption and associated costs, allowing developers to enforce strict budget limits. When predefined thresholds are reached, the system can automatically halt execution, trigger alerts, or gracefully terminate processes depending on the configured mode. This makes it particularly valuable in environments where agents operate autonomously and may enter unintended loops or inefficient workflows. The tool integrates directly into existing applications with minimal changes, often requiring only a few lines of code to activate protection. It also supports advanced configurations such as distributed tracking through Redis and webhook notifications for real-time monitoring.
