Description

AI Cost Guardrails-CNXT adds budget boundaries and runtime safeguards to AI calls made through the native WordPress AI Client.

Pro adds seven guardrails for token spikes, repeated requests, retry storms, per-request size, caller budgets, model spend, and execution context. Raw prompts and AI responses are never persisted. Built for WordPress 7.0+.
