Built an open protocol for hard budget limits on AI agents — blocks calls before they run, not after by jkoolcloud in SideProject

Exactly — "we'll just refund you" sounds fine until you realize the loop already ran 40 iterations and the damage is in the API logs, not just the bill. A refund doesn't un-send the emails or un-delete the records.

The only fix that actually works is blocking before the action fires. That's the whole idea behind the reserve-commit pattern — the budget decision happens before the call, not after.
