Caps that never trip problem for this team.
Caps that never trip problem: In Kovnor a limit is a stop, not a number someone had in mind. Set it for the workspace, the project and each agent; at the limit the work waits and asks you, and it never runs over quietly. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
The team believes a spend cap will halt a runaway research agent. The agent reports cost, crosses the number they had in mind, and keeps opening sources. No refusal happens, because the cap was a figure in someone's head, not a setting the work had to stop at. The surprise is not the size of the bill alone. It is that the imagined brake was never there.
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.
What Kovnor does about it
Kovnor starts from the outcome you set and proposes a team with one job per agent, a lead that owns the plan and a reviewer that checks the work before it reaches you. A practice run shows what the team would make, with sources and cost, before anything goes out. Asks come with a recommendation, a default and a deadline. Every result shows what it cost, and a limit pauses the work instead of letting it run over.
Limit
Limits stop the work Kovnor runs. An agent you run yourself and connect over MCP is billed by its own vendor, and its own settings decide its limit.
