Spending Limits
Configurable caps on how much an AI agent can spend per transaction, per day, or per billing cycle.
Spending limits are financial guardrails that control how much an AI agent can spend. Mithril supports three types: per-transaction limits (max amount for a single API call), daily limits (total spend per 24-hour period), and credit line limits (total revolving credit available). Limits are set per wallet, so different agents can have different spending permissions. Any wallet can be frozen instantly from the dashboard. This is critical for safe agent deployment — it prevents runaway spending while preserving agent autonomy within defined boundaries.
