Govern agent activity across your deployment. Set guardrails and spend limits, and control who can do what with roles and permissions.

-   [Set Up Guardrails](guardrails/)

    Understand how guardrails work, create them, review blocked requests, and look up the available policies.

-   [Analyze Cost and Usage](cost-usage/)

    Break down LLM spend, requests, and tokens by provider, model, token type, agent, user, or tag. Compare periods, export CSV reports, and see which agents are active right now.

-   [Set Up Budgets](budgets/)

    Cap LLM spend with per-agent budgets, and see what the Agentic Data Plane records automatically and where to view it.

-   [Track Spend by Tag](cost-allocation-tags/)

    Group and filter LLM spend by the tags you set on agents, so you can attribute cost to a department, team, or environment for chargeback and reporting.

-   [Manage Access](access/)

    Control who can do what in the Agentic Data Plane with access policies.
