What is reported spend for a team that runs agents.
What is reported spend: Reported spend is the cost an agent tells the project it incurred. In Kovnor the agents it runs record their cost as they work; an agent you connected over MCP reports its own. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Reported spend is the cost an agent tells the project a piece of work consumed. For the agents Kovnor runs, cost is recorded beside the work as it happens. For an agent you run yourself and connect over MCP, the project hears about cost only when that agent reports it. A missing report is not zero; it is unknown.
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.
How reported spend shows up in Kovnor
Every result in Kovnor shows what it cost, by agent and by project. A cost nobody recorded says unknown, never $0. For a connected agent, the line is what it reported, and its own vendor still bills it.
What reported spend is not
Reported spend is not an invoice and not a limit. An agent that never reports leaves a hole, not a free run.
