AgentTokenGuard
Track wasted tokens from failed AI agent runs and auto-generate refund requests
- Problem
- Heavy users of Claude and other AI agents frequently see tasks fail mid-run with connection errors, yet their usage quota and tokens are still consumed. There is no resume button—only retry, which starts over and burns more tokens if it fails again. Users neither know how much they lost nor how to ask for compensation.
- Solution
- A local usage guardian that automatically attributes tokens consumed by failed agent tasks from API and proxy logs, produces a readable loss report, and generates ready-to-send support ticket templates. It can also halt further retries after repeated failures to prevent runaway spending.
- Users
- Indie developers, small teams, and AI power users who run Claude/OpenAI agents daily
- MVP
- Parse OpenAI/Anthropic API logs and local proxy logs; tag failed requests by task ID and total wasted tokens and dollars; detect repeated failures and suggest stopping retries; auto-generate refund request email templates
- Revenue
- Free tier shows only the last 7 days; subscription unlocks history, multi-provider support, and auto-generated appeal templates
- Why now
- AI agents increasingly own long-running tasks, failure costs are rising from cents to dollars, and billing is opaque—users need an independent waste-auditing layer
