How to use a Gemini-compatible API proxy with budget controls
Gemini-style clients also need budget controls when experiments, agents, or shared keys grow beyond simple testing.
Use a compatible endpoint
A Gemini-compatible endpoint helps custom tools discover models and send requests through a controlled wallet.
Separate client keys
Create a dedicated key for Gemini-style tools so usage is easy to cap and audit.
- Separate keys
- Route allowed models
- Review token and cost logs
Keep spend predictable
Prepaid balance and output caps keep tests from becoming open-ended invoices.
FAQ
