I’m building a local-first TypeScript guard for runaway AI-agent costs

Short summary

AI CostGuard is an open-source TypeScript runtime library that prevents runaway costs from AI agents by proactively blocking risky API calls before execution. Instead of tracking expenses after they occur, it uses local-first runtime checks to catch control-flow failures like retry storms. The author is seeking community feedback on API design, local state utility in production, and any missing failure modes.
