Unified token billing, explained
Unified token billing means tool calls draw from one balance you can see and cap.
When each tool has its own vendor bill, cost control splits across invoices. Unified token billing collapses usage into one balance tied to your MCP surface.
What you gain
One place to see spend by tool. One place to set agent caps. One conversation with finance.
What stays separate
Your own domain MCP servers can stay outside the meter. Shared platform tools (secrets, mail, search, storage, literature, writing) belong on the shared bill.
One MCP. One token balance.
