What is external cost report for a team that runs agents.

What is external cost report: An external cost report is the spend figure from an agent you run at another vendor. Kovnor shows it beside the work; the agents Kovnor runs need no report, because their cost is recorded. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.

An external cost report is the spend figure from an agent you run at a vendor, as distinct from the cost of work Kovnor runs. It can be stored, shown on the scorecard and set beside an acceptance. It cannot trip Kovnor's limits and it cannot stop the vendor's invoice. People mix them up because both are called cost.

What holds today

  • Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
  • Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
  • Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
