# Quotas and pricing

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [Agents as users](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/agents-as-users.md).

By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-22.

> Give each agent grant its own quota and spending cap. State what every call costs, before and after it runs, and warn the person before the money runs out.

## Required

- AGT-25 [Cap what each agent grant may spend](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/agents-as-users/quotas-and-pricing/spend-cap-per-grant.md) · 1,087 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  When an agent's calls cost the person money, each grant has a spending cap per day and per month that the person sets. A call that would pass the cap is refused before it runs.

## Recommended

- AGT-24 [Set quotas per agent grant](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/agents-as-users/quotas-and-pricing/quota-per-grant.md) · 1,036 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  Count usage per agent grant, the pair of one user and one agent, as well as per user and per operator. One agent can use at most its share of the user's quota.
- AGT-26 [State the cost of every call before and after it runs](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/agents-as-users/quotas-and-pricing/cost-in-every-result.md) · 748 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  Publish the price of each paid tool or endpoint in a machine-readable form. Return the amount charged and the remaining budget in every paid result.
- AGT-27 [Warn the person before an agent's budget runs out](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/agents-as-users/quotas-and-pricing/budget-warnings.md) · 647 tokens · updated 2026-10-22
  Tell the person, not only the agent, when an agent grant reaches 80% of its spending cap or quota, and again when it is reached.
