# CashClaw Guard

Agent runtime protection. **Stop $34K incidents in 12 lines of code.**

When an AI agent runs unattended, two things can break the bank in one night:

1. **Cost runaway** — a misconfigured loop calls the LLM API thousands of times before the soft limit kicks in 24 hours later.
2. **Sonsuz döngü** — agent calls itself, or two agents call each other, with no exit condition.

Cloudflare lost **$34,000 in 8 days** to a Durable Object loop in February 2026. The fix wasn't a smarter agent — it was a runtime layer that says **"no, you've spent enough."**

CashClaw Guard is that layer. It plugs into any OpenClaw-compatible agent and enforces a YAML policy at every LLM call and tool invocation.
