Agentic AI cost: why agents burn tokens and how to control it

Agentic AI cost is what you pay to run AI agents, and it is mostly tokens. An agent does not answer once. It loops, calls tools, reads the results, and reasons again, re-sending a growing context every step. Anthropic found agents use about 4x the tokens of a chat, and multi-agent systems about 15x. You control it by capping runs, right-sizing the architecture, routing, caching, and measuring cost per task, then tying every agent to the AI ROI it produces.

CertKit Private PKI: A private certificate authority without running one yourself

In May I wrote that you probably don’t need private PKI for internal infrastructure, because DNS validation gets a publicly trusted certificate onto hosts that never touch the internet. In June I pointed out that Apple enforces an 825-day cap on private certificates, so your own CA doesn’t even free you from the browser vendors. Two days ago I told you that public client certificates stop renewing in October, and that the replacement is a private certificate authority.

GitKraken's Claude Code Plugin Is Live: No CLI Required

If you haven’t heard about our MCP server, you should really check it out. It’s probably the best way to give your agents access to the power of GitKraken’s integrations and features.

GitKraken Code Review: A Different Way to See What a Pull Request Actually Changed

Most PR descriptions leave out the one thing a reviewer actually needs: why the change was made. And AI review bots that live natively inside GitHub tend to solve that with noise instead, dropping comments a reviewer then has to sort through to find the two that matter.

Agent Guard: Control AI Assets Before They Become Shadow AI

A developer on your team just told Claude Code to connect to a new MCP server, the protocol coding agents use to reach organizational tools and data. Nobody in security reviewed it. Nobody in security even knows it happened. For two-thirds of enterprises, the primary obstacle to scaling agentic development isn’t budget or headcount — it’s security risk.
