Your AI agent just blew $500. Now what?

Short summary

Production AI agents cost real money and nobody's watching. One founder's customer-service agent silently burned $1,200 in a weekend; his logging told him what happened but not whether it should have. Traccia (open-source, Apache 2.0) combines observability with active governance—spending caps, policy enforcement, and real-time blocking of risky tool calls.

• •Production AI agents can incur hidden costs and policy violations without safeguards
• •Traccia provides real-time governance, not just post-hoc observability (spending caps, guardrails, approval workflows)
• •Open-source platform built by Indian team, positioned as missing control layer for production agents
