Portal26 has launched its Agentic Token Control module, a first-of-its-kind capability that gives organizations precise control over AI agent resource consumption and spending. As enterprises increasingly rely on autonomous AI to run complex workflows, unmanaged token usage has become a key risk, leading to unpredictable costs, performance issues, and operational instability. This release builds on Portal26’s Agentic Management tools, which focus on AI security and delivering measurable business value.
Portal26’s new Agentic Token Control module directly addresses this challenge by introducing intelligent guardrails that ensure AI agents operate efficiently, responsibly, and within defined limits.
“Agentic AI is powerful, but without cost controls, it can quickly become expensive and chaotic,” said Arti Raman, CEO of Portal26. “”We’ve watched enterprises like Uber discover the hard way that adoption speed and cost predictability are on a collision course. Agentic Token Control gives organizations the telemetry and confidence to scale AI agents without waking up to an invoice they didn’t plan for.”
Key Capabilities of Agentic Token Control
- Real-Time Token Governance
Monitor and enforce token usage across agents as they operate, preventing uncontrolled loops and excessive consumption. - Policy-Based Limits
Define granular thresholds at the agent, workflow, or organizational level to ensure usage stays within budget and intent. - Adaptive Safeguards
Automatically intervene when agents approach or exceed limits, including throttling, pausing, or terminating execution. - Cost Predictability
Eliminate surprise overages by aligning agent behavior with predefined token budgets. - Operational Visibility
Gain clear insight into how and where tokens are being used across agentic systems.
Addressing a Critical Gap in Agentic AI
As organizations adopt multi-step, autonomous workflows powered by large language models, agents can unintentionally enter recursive loops, over-query systems, or expand tasks beyond their original scope—leading to exponential token usage.
Until now, no dedicated solution existed to manage this risk at scale.
“Agentic cost controls represent a foundational layer for responsible AI operations,” said Pakshi Rajan, Chief Product and AI Officer of Portal26. “It’s more than cost controls—it’s about making agentic systems reliable, governable, and enterprise-ready.”
The Agentic Token Control module is available immediately as part of the Portal26 platform.
