When does this happen?

IF Autonomous site_1 using paid APIs may run up unbounded costs without spending limits.

How others solved it

THEN Use a service that supports per-agent budget delegation, such as BlockRun's 'agent_id' parameter. This assigns a spending budget to a child agent and auto-blocks it when exhausted, preventing runaway costs.

When calling a BlockRun tool, include `agent_id: 'child-agent-id'` and set a budget via the wallet's delegation feature.
