The bill arrives after the money is gone. A meter doesn't.
Operant Token Meter tracks token consumption as it happens and enforces limits while it's still flowing — down to the exact service, application, team, user, agent, and model doing the spending.
Nobody could say no to AI agents.
Then the tokens started adding up.
The business wanted them, developers wanted them, and the market gave no room to be the person slowing things down. So you said yes — and nothing was watching closely enough to catch what happened next.
Re-reading an entire codebase to find one file. Pulling the maximum context window on every call. Hammering an endpoint hundreds of times against a transient error. Reasonable once; ruinous at machine speed, thousands of times over.
An agent doing more than it was designed to do, in ways its task can't explain.
Rare, and the one that keeps security leaders up at night.
See your AI spend before it becomes a bill.
Operant gives teams a live view of token consumption and the controls to stop runaway usage before it turns into unexpected cost.
A bill is not a meter.
At their best, providers' tools stop at telling you a number. The spend is already gone by the time it appears.

Two things, and they only work together.
Cost doesn't originate at the account level. It originates with a specific agent, running a specific application, for a specific user, in a specific team, against a specific model.
Service, application, team, user, agent, model — so you can isolate the exact source of the spend instead of staring at a blended total.
Enforce a limit on that exact segment as the tokens are being consumed, not after they're gone.
Five ways this actually happens.
What they share: a top-level, after-the-fact number would have missed the cause of every one, and left no way to stop the spend without a blunt shutdown.
Three capabilities, one surface.
Operant Endpoint Protector is purpose-built for the threat model of coding agents — not adapted DLP, not bolted-on API gateway, but designed from the ground up to operate at the only layer where coding agent risk can actually be prevented: the developer's device.
