What is spend cap for a team that runs agents.
What is spend cap: A spend cap is a ceiling on what work may cost. In Kovnor it is a real stop: set it for the workspace, each project and each agent, and at the cap the work waits and asks you. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A spend cap is a ceiling a team sets on what a body of work may cost. A cap that is only a number someone watches is a rule of attention, and the work keeps going past it. A cap that holds stops the next piece of work. Kovnor's limits are the second kind for the work Kovnor runs.
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 spend cap shows up in Kovnor
In Kovnor you set limits by week or by month for the workspace, each project and each agent. At a limit the work pauses and asks you; it never runs over quietly. An agent you run yourself and connected over MCP keeps its own vendor's limits.
What spend cap is not
A spend cap in Kovnor is not a credit limit at another vendor. It cannot stop an agent you run elsewhere from being billed.
