Traffic flows only over the encrypted NetBird tunnel, +scoped by policy, with no API keys or other credentials to leak. + +It also gives you control over cost. Because every LLM request passes through an +identity-aware proxy, you can: + +- **Set spending and rate limits** per agent, per user, or per team — with hard caps + that stop requests once a budget is reached. +- **Restrict models and providers** so agents can only call approved (and cost-appropriate) + endpoints, keeping expensive models off-limits unless explicitly allowed. +- **Attribute usage** by tracking token consumption and cost per identity, so every + request is tied back to the agent and person responsible. > **Beta.** Agent Network is open source and can be self-hosted on your own > infrastructure.
