Hard Budgets: Auto-kills the agent's internet access if it gets stuck in a retry loop and hits your daily spend limit. 2. Local Scanners: Instantly drops outgoing requests that contain leaked API keys or PII. 3. Terse Mode: Optimizes system prompts to force shorter answers, cutting your API output costs by 40–70%.It runs entirely on your machine with zero cloud dependency, and supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini out of the box.pip install guardian-runtimeI'd love to hear your feedback or see if you can break it!
