人们如何处理自主智能体对付费外部 API 的使用?

1作者: ArielBarack20 天前
我很好奇大家在实际生产环境中是如何操作的,而不是在演示中。<p>如果你正在运行自主或半自主的智能体,它们会:<p>调用付费 API<p>购买数据<p>调用按量计费的工具<p>在未经人工批准的情况下链式执行操作<p>…你们是如何处理支付和限额的?<p>我在实际应用中看到的大多是权宜之计:<p>提供商级别的 API 密钥,带有硬性使用上限<p>稍后重新计费的代理服务<p>存在于侧分支中的特定于框架的黑客手段<p>仅警报或手动批准模式<p>或者干脆不允许智能体直接消费<p>这些方法没有一个看起来像是干净的抽象,尤其是在智能体做出数千个微决策之后。<p>困难的部分似乎不是“转移资金”,而是安全地授权支出:<p>花多少钱<p>花在什么地方<p>在什么条件下<p>以及如何撤销或审计<p>框架可以理解地避免这个问题,但这使得每个团队都在重复发明相同的脆弱模式。<p>所以我真心想问:<p>你们今天是如何处理这个问题的?<p>什么会出问题或让你感到不舒服?<p>这个问题是还处于早期阶段,还是已经让你很头疼了?<p>很想听听具体的设置——即使答案是“我们放弃了”。

I’m curious how people are actually doing this in production, not in demos.<p>If you’re running autonomous or semi-autonomous agents that:<p>call paid APIs<p>purchase data<p>invoke metered tools<p>chain actions without human approval<p>…how are you handling payments and limits?<p>What I mostly see in the wild are workarounds:<p>provider-level API keys with hard usage caps<p>proxy services that re-bill later<p>framework-specific hacks living in side branches<p>alert-only or manual approval modes<p>or simply not letting agents spend directly<p>None of these feel like a clean abstraction, especially once agents make thousands of micro-decisions.<p>The hard part doesn’t seem to be “moving money,” but delegating spending authority safely:<p>how much<p>on what<p>under what conditions<p>and how to revoke or audit it<p>Frameworks understandably avoid this, but that leaves every team reinventing the same fragile patterns.<p>So I’m genuinely asking:<p>How are you handling this today?<p>What breaks or feels uncomfortable?<p>Is this problem still premature, or already painful for you?<p>Would love to hear concrete setups — even if the answer is “we punted on it.”
