Show HN: OpenClaw plugin – hard budget limits for agent tool calls

OpenClaw agents can loop, pick expensive models, and burn budget before anyone notices. This plugin stops that.

Install:

    openclaw plugins install @runcycles/openclaw-budget-guard

Add one config block with your tenant and optional model fallbacks (e.g. claude-opus → claude-sonnet when budget is low). The plugin handles the rest: balance checks before model selection, reservations before tool calls, commits after, and cleanup at session end.

Built on the Cycles protocol — reserve budget before execution, commit actual spend after, release the remainder.
