Spend caps & budget ceilings.
A hard ceiling on what an agent can spend, per agent and per day.
// policy
payments_pay → sum(24h) + amount ≤ $100/day
An agent holding a payment tool with no ceiling is a polite way to lose money to a bug, a bad prompt, or a hijack — and you'd only find out once the charges cleared.
Cap what an agent can pay or commit — per action, per day, per agent. Under the cap the payment goes through; over it, the call stops and escalates instead of clearing.
Intercept
The agent attempts an action. HiveKey catches it in the path — nothing reaches the tool yet.
Evaluate
Guard sums spend in the path and checks this charge against the ceiling before it runs; over the cap, the call is denied or routed to a human, with no path around it.
Enforce & log
The verdict is enforced — allow, block, or route for approval — and written to the audit trail, attributable to the agent's owner.
