Define a spend budget for Claude Code and, optionally, create a cost alert rule that fires when usage crosses the limit, via POST /api/alerts/rules on the Agent Monitor dashboard. Reads current spend from /api/pricing/cost to size the budget sensibly and explains every rule field before writing. Use when setting a spend limit or wiring up a budget guardrail.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Budget Set

Help the user define a spend budget and turn it into a live cost guardrail on the
Agent Monitor dashboard.

## Input

The user provides: **$ARGUMENTS**

This is the budget to set — e.g. `"$50/month"`, `"$10/week"`, or `"200000 tokens"`.
If a period is omitted, treat it as a monthly budget and say so. If no number is
given, read current spend first and propose a target.

## Data Sources

| Endpoint | Returns |
|----------|---------|
| `GET /api/pricing/cost` | `{ total_cost, breakdown: [{ model, input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_read_tokens, cache_write_tokens, cost, matched_rule }] }` — current spend, used to size the budget and compute the blended $/token rate |
| `GET /api/alerts/rules` | `{ rules: [{ id, name, rule_type, config, enabled, cooldown_seconds }] }` — existing rules, so you don't create a duplicate guardrail |
| `POST /api/alerts/rules` | Create a rule. Body: `{ name, rule_type, config, enabled?, cooldown_seconds? }`. Returns `{ rule }` |

## How a budget becomes a rule

The dashboard's alerting engine fires on **tokens**, not dollars. The spend-relevant
rule type is **`token_threshold`**, whose config is `{ total_tokens }` — it fires when

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hoangsonww/claude-code-agent-monitor/budget-set@sha256:ae1a04f085aeeb58

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.9eab0d7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
