How AI Agents Can Trigger Runaway Costs for Enterprises

Unbounded consumption represents a significant operational risk for enterprises deploying artificial intelligence (AI) agents, with the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) ranking it sixth among the top security concerns for large language model (LLM) applications. Uncontrolled resource usage by AI systems can escalate infrastructure and application programming interface (API) costs substantially without proper safeguards or monitoring.

Why it matters: Enterprise infrastructure teams and AI deployment leads must implement consumption limits and cost controls to prevent runaway expenses from AI agent operations.
