Why credits help agents
Agents are bad at workflows that stop in the middle because a vendor balance is empty or a credit card screen appeared. Developer credits give approved agents a repeatable payment budget with receipts and logs.
Developer credits
Pre-fund approved agent usage so paid calls do not halt mid-task.
Developer-credit mode is for teams that want agents to make repeat paid AI/API calls without stopping to solve billing every time. The agent can check balance, quote cost, invoke allowed services, and save receipts against a scoped key.
What to track
- Available balance and low-balance status.
- Service allowlists and maximum call price.
- Request id, idempotency key, and receipt id.
- Spend by endpoint, service, agent, and time range.
- Failed calls, refusals, and retry decisions.
Prompt for your agent
Use Wisely developer-credit mode for this paid call. Check the credit balance, quote the service cost, confirm it is inside my policy, invoke the service, and save the receipt with request id and remaining balance.
