How teams stop autonomous agents from burning API credits in production

The author says production autonomous agents built with LangGraph and CrewAI are too risky to run unattended because hallucinated tool calls, prompt injections, or recursive loops can blow up OpenAI/Anthropic bills.
They argue that observability tools like LangSmith or AgentOps are useful for post-mortems, but not for real-time runtime guards that can intercept bad tool calls before damage is done, and ask how others are handling production brakes for agent fleets.
