Give OpenClaw agents an economic control plane
OpenClaw agents can run tools, spawn sub-agents, call MCP servers, route through models, and act across workflows. SatGate adds the economic firewall underneath: observe, control, and charge agent/API activity before upstream access.
Why OpenClaw 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
- Attribute spend across agents, sub-agents, tools, models, routes, and workflows.
- Enforce per-agent and per-task budgets before expensive requests execute.
- Use L402 when robot customers or autonomous agents should pay for protected APIs.
SatGate controls for OpenClaw
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.
- 1Route OpenClaw tool/API/model traffic through SatGate where spend or access matters.
- 2Mint scoped capabilities per agent, session, task, route, or MCP server.
- 3Apply Observe first, then Control budgets, revocation, and kill switches.
- 4Use Charge/L402 for external robot-customer access to protected APIs.
Make OpenClaw 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.
