RBAC asks for identity. EAC asks for a budget. Your AI agents are spending money, calling APIs, and making decisions — with zero economic constraints. SatGate enforces Economic Access Control: observe every call, control every budget, and charge for access to your high-value APIs.
Risk. Margins. Growth. Three buyers, one platform.
One platform, three perspectives. SatGate aligns security, finance, and growth under a single pane of glass.
The problem: A compromised AI agent gets inside the perimeter and spams a sensitive database at machine speed, bypassing traditional rate limits.
“SatGate provides a deterministic, cryptographic kill-switch. We don't just alert you — we hard-cap agent spend before the blast radius expands.”
Metrics that matter:
Reduce risk of runaway agent misuse and unauthorized spend
The problem: Unpredictable AI bills. An infinite loop on an expensive MCP tool burns thousands over a weekend. No one notices until the invoice arrives.
“SatGate ends faith-based accounting for AI. We enforce hard, real-time dollar caps on every agent and tool — turning unpredictable AI costs into predictable, hard-capped OpEx.”
Metrics that matter:
Eliminate a major class of unbounded agent spend and AI bill shock
The problem: Getting left behind as the internet shifts from human-to-human commerce to machine-to-machine commerce. Your APIs are valuable — but you're giving them away.
“SatGate turns your IT infrastructure from a cost center into an automated storefront. Expose APIs to external AI agents and charge micropayments for every call via L402.”
Metrics that matter:
Net-new revenue from machine-to-machine API transactions
Start with visibility. Add control when you're ready. Monetize when it makes sense.
See every API call, every token, every agent — across MCP servers, REST APIs, and LLM endpoints. MCP proxy tracks per-tool costs in real time. Full visibility with zero enforcement.
Set budgets per agent, per MCP tool, per team. Hard enforcement — agents get 402'd when budgets run out. Delegation hierarchies for sub-agents.
Monetize your APIs with L402. Sub-second Lightning settlement, per-request pricing, no chargebacks. Machine-native payments.
Friday afternoon. An intern creates an API token "to test something." By Monday, $47,000 in OpenAI charges. Here's how SatGate changes the ending.
"Just a quick test." Generates an API token with no budget limit, no scope restriction, no expiry.
The test script runs in a loop. 2.3 million API calls. $47,000 in compute. Nobody notices.
SatGate detects anomalous token creation. Budget threshold hit after $50. Alert fires in 60 seconds.
One click. Token revoked globally. All child tokens die instantly. Total cost: $50 instead of $47,000.
Full timeline: who created the token, what it accessed, when it was revoked. Compliance-ready export.
Can turn a $47,000 weekend incident into a $50 policy event. 2 minutes to resolution.
SatGate Observe mode would have caught this for free.
Real-time visibility into every agent, every API call, every dollar.
Real-time API call volume, latency percentiles, error rates. Broken down by agent, team, and endpoint.
Automated cost attribution. See exactly which team spent what on which API. Export to CSV or push to your billing system.
Active tokens, anomalous behavior, blocked requests, revocation history. CISO-ready at a glance.
SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA audit trails. Every token lifecycle event, every access decision, timestamped and immutable.
Tokens flow down. Authority narrows. Every level is scoped, budgeted, and time-limited.

Gateway runs in your VPC. Dashboard in our cloud (or yours). Your data never leaves your infrastructure. The best of both worlds: self-hosted security, managed convenience.
Every shared internal API is a commons. When agents have unlimited access, they over-consume. The team that built the service pays the infrastructure bill. The team running the agent gets free compute. Nobody optimizes because nobody pays.
Every internal service — databases, search indexes, ML models — has a real cost per call. EAC makes that cost visible and enforceable. Suddenly your internal tooling isn't overhead. It's a marketplace.
When every call has a cost, you learn which internal APIs are actually valuable vs. over-provisioned.
Expensive calls get used thoughtfully. Cheap calls get used freely. The market allocates resources better than any policy doc.
Platform teams charge for what they provide. Agent teams budget for what they consume. IT finally has a P&L.
“Stop giving AI agents an all-you-can-eat buffet pass.”
Give them a budget. Let economics do what policy never could.
SatGate Mint exchanges workload identity tokens for capability-bearing macaroons. No secrets to manage. No tokens to rotate. Try it live.
3-step flow: Mock IdP → Mint Exchange → Verified Macaroon
The same exchange you just saw works identically at scale. No secrets management. No credential rotation. Identity is the credential.
Map identity claims to budgets, scopes, and TTLs. One policy per agent class — not per agent instance.
Each agent reads its environment identity (K8s SA, IAM role, OIDC token) and exchanges it for a macaroon. One API call. No human in the loop.
Every tool call, every credit spent, every agent session — visible in real-time on your dashboard. When you're ready, flip to enforcement.
