Agents / Agent Cost Control Playbook
Agent Cost Control Playbook
Control agent operating costs using retry budgets, route selection, and outcome-driven loop design.
What matters in practice
- Cost control starts with fewer repeated failed actions, not cheaper tokens alone.
- Keep one continuity contract for all runtimes and teams.
- Track outcomes, not just incidents, to prove operational value.
Implementation checklist
- Define stable session and handoff rules.
- Instrument score, risk, and closure-rate signals.
- Review results weekly and remove low-value loops.
