  • · budget limit
Outputs
  • · model selection decision
  • · cost tracking record
Requires
  • · anthropic SDK
  • · openai SDK
Preconditions

Multiple model tiers available (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus)

Failure modes

Complexity threshold miscalibrated; retry-logic on permanent errors; budget overflow

Trust signals
