Semantic Firewall returns allow/block/redact on every prompt, tool call, command and data movement through four guards (Tool Intent, Code Intent, Data Intent, Scope), and Token Meter applies the same real-time read to spend, enforcing budgets mid-session on the specific agent, team, user or model running hot (Operant AI). The architectural point: runtime intent inspection produces the cost meter for free, which merges agent observability vendors and FinOps dashboards into one control plane. Two SaaS categories just became one feature.
