What is reported cost for a team that runs agents.
What is reported cost: Reported cost is what an agent says a piece of work cost. In Kovnor the agents it runs record cost as they work, and limits stop them; an agent you connected reports its own. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Reported cost is a number an agent sends about what a piece of work cost. For the agents Kovnor runs, it is recorded as the work happens and held to your limits. For an agent you run at another vendor, Kovnor can store and show its report, but it cannot refuse that vendor's invoice. A missing report means unknown, not zero.
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.
