Description
Cloudflare's Clef and Strands' Decider 2B: small decision models returning structured choices in milliseconds. GateKeep wires that pattern into your stack — a FastAPI decision gate routes every agent tool call. Confident decisions take the cheap path; uncertain ones escalate to the frontier model. Over-budget or kill-switched traffic fails closed (hard 402, kill switch, unknown keys blocked). Kit: gating middleware, 3 routing policies, calibration runbook, sourced price tables.

Could you build this?
Yes GateKeep is a lightweight FastAPI middleware that wraps calls to small, fast routing models (like Clef or Decider 2B) and falls back to larger LLMs based on confidence thresholds. This is standard API proxying and routing logic easily implemented with vibe coding.
