Windsurf integration

Windsurf spend limit setup

Windsurf workflows can grow expensive when requests loop or context gets large. A spend limit is the cleanest way to stop an experiment from turning into a surprise bill. NexRelay keeps the first test small and reversible.

Why this setup works

A dedicated Windsurf key keeps testing separate from production while NexRelay adds prepaid balance checks and request logs.

Recommended setup

Set a daily or monthly cap, then keep the key scoped to one app or workflow.

  • One key per Windsurf workflow
  • Start with a small budget
  • Keep the model list narrow
  • Review the first log entry

What to verify

Check that the key stops cleanly before balance or budget is exceeded.

FAQ

Can spend limits stop requests before routing?

Yes. The gateway can reject a request before upstream cost is created.

Should every tool have its own limit?

For real workflows, yes. Separate limits are easier to audit.
