Tool-Call Overspending: Logic Gate Enforcement
Preventing agents from calling expensive tools unnecessarily.
Steps
- Estimate the cost of a tool call before execution.
- Require 'Confidence Scores' > 0.9 before triggering expensive APIs.
- Implement a 'Human-in-the-loop' gate for costs over $0.10.
- Cache tool outputs for identical input parameters for 24 hours.
- Use smaller, cheaper models to pre-process tool requirements.
