 # NetBird Agent Network
 
-Agent Network is NetBird's access control layer for AI agents and the people who run them. 
-It gives every agent a real identity, tied to an identity provider (IdP), and governs what it can reach: LLM APIs and 
-AI gateways it can call, and the internal resources it can access. 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 and token usage.
+Agent Network is NetBird's access control layer for AI agents and the people who run
+them. It gives every agent a real identity, tied to your identity provider (IdP), and
+governs what it can reach — the LLM APIs and AI gateways it can call, and the internal
+resources it can access. Traffic flows only over the encrypted NetBird tunnel, scoped by
+policy, with no API keys to leak.
 
-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, group, or cost center so every
-  request is tied back to the agent and person responsible.
-- **Reuse your existing AI gateway** — point the proxy at a gateway you already run,
-  keeping its routing and config in place while it adds identity on top, so you skip
-  API key distribution.

 ## How it works
 
-Say you have a simple use case: your Engineering or IT team needs access to Claude Code or Codex, and you want visibility into usage plus the ability to enforce budgets.
-How can you do that without creating a dedicated API key for every team?
-
-With Agent Network you get a private endpoint inside your network, for example: https://mirror.netbird.ai
-Teams configure their agents to point to that endpoint instead of using individual API keys directly. 
-
-This endpoint is only reachable when users are connected to your NetBird network and authenticated through your IdP. Otherwise, it is not accessible from the public internet.
-You can then use this private endpoint to configure your AI agents, whether that is Claude Code, Codex, or another tool.

-## Quickstart

-Full step-by-step setup:
-**https://docs.netbird.io/agent-network/quickstart**

-## Architecture

 Agent Network is built on two existing NetBird capabilities:
 
 - **Overlay network** — the encrypted WireGuard mesh between peers.
