Citadel Predict forecasts AI agent token usage and cost before the agent runs — not after, like existing tools (Langfuse, Helicone, LangSmith). It analyzes your task and tool list, then uses a calibrated ML model to give you an expected token range, confidence level, and out-of-distribution risk flag — now converted into an estimated USD cost too. Ships as a pip package + CLI, an MCP server for Claude Desktop/Code, and a hosted API. Tested on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Could you build this?
Partial The Python SDK and client wrapper are simple, but accurately predicting multi-step agent token usage prior to execution requires proprietary training datasets of complex agent execution traces.
What it would actually take: The backend requires collecting millions of real-world multi-step agent traces across diverse tools and reasoning architectures (ReAct, LangGraph, CrewAI). An ML model (such as a gradient-boosted tree or fine-tuned transformer with conformal prediction) must be trained on tool-call topologies and task embeddings to output well-calibrated confidence intervals and out-of-distribution flags for non-deterministic LLM loops.
