How It Works

Each virtual key represents a credit allocation for a user or pipeline.

1. Admin creates key with budget limits

2. Key shown once — share securely

3. User sets key as API key to LiteLLM endpoint:

base_url = "http://api.ai-sentinel.click:4000"
api_key = "sk-their-virtual-key"

4. Our routing intelligence selects optimal model

5. Spend tracked against their budget automatically — a real, hard limit (LiteLLM blocks requests once exceeded), not just an alert.

Informational total, not itself enforced — real spend protection comes from each virtual key's own hard budget above.

Provider Budgets (Monthly, hard limit)

Tracks real spend accurately — actual blocking enforcement is planned (needs Redis for reliable cross-gateway tracking), not yet built.
