Enterprise-grade spend oversight in VS Code

Engineering teams need centralized control over their infrastructure costs. Use `get_team_info` and `get_user_info` to monitor how your team consumes tokens across different projects. This visibility prevents budget overruns. You can verify your constraints using `get_key_info` to ensure every service stays within its assigned bounds.

Shared model routing configurations

Sync your entire team on the same fallback paths. Use `create_model` to define standard endpoints and `get_model_info` to verify they are active for everyone. It removes configuration drift. If a route changes, you update it once and use `delete_model` to clean up the old path for the whole team.

Manage team access tokens centrally

You can provision distinct keys for different services in your repository. Use `generate_key` to create these credentials and `create_team` to associate them with specific divisions. It keeps your security posture tight. When a project wraps up, `delete_key` ensures those credentials no longer exist in your proxy.
