Control what Claude Code can spend and call
Claude Code can delegate work across files, tools, model calls, MCP servers, package registries, and internal APIs. SatGate turns that activity into governed agent traffic with request-path spend caps, scoped credentials, revocation, and audit.
Why Claude Code workflows need request-path economics
Autonomous agents are not normal SaaS users. They can retry, loop, delegate, and call tools faster than a human operator can review a bill.
SatGate sits between those agents and the upstream API, MCP server, model provider, or protected resource. Every request gets an economic decision before access is granted.
That makes agent workflows safer to deploy: start by observing real traffic, then enforce the limits that match each task, team, tenant, or customer.
What this prevents
- Set hard spend ceilings for coding tasks before a runaway loop gets expensive.
- Limit which internal APIs, MCP tools, and paid resources a coding agent can reach.
- Audit every allowed and denied request by agent run, tool, route, and budget.
SatGate controls for Claude Code
Use SatGate as the economic control plane around agentic tool use: Observe first, Control when limits are known, Charge when external agents should pay for access.
Budget before execution
Check remaining spend, request ceilings, route cost, and policy before forwarding the call.
Scoped capabilities
Replace broad static keys with expiring, revocable credentials constrained by route, tool, calls, and spend.
Revocation and kill switches
Stop a risky task, tool, or agent session immediately without rotating every shared secret.
MCP and API governance
Apply the same economic policy across MCP servers, internal APIs, model providers, and paid tools.
Implementation pattern
You do not need to rewrite every tool. Put SatGate at the gateway, proxy, sidecar, or MCP boundary where economic decisions matter.
- 1Place SatGate in front of APIs, MCP servers, or model/provider routes used by Claude Code.
- 2Issue a short-lived capability token for each coding task or session.
- 3Attach caveats for route, model, calls, spend, delegation, and expiry.
- 4Revoke or narrow the capability immediately when the task is complete or risky.
Make Claude Code agent activity governable.
SatGate gives agent teams the missing economic layer: budgets, scoped authority, revocation, audit, and L402 payments where machine customers need to pay for APIs.
