Intelligence Summary
Security teams adopting agentic AI must account for rapidly rising token and AI credit usage. Detection quality can suffer when architectures are forced to limit prompts, context length, or model calls. The costs can also influence how frequently analysts and automated systems run scans and correlations. Organizations that scale AI assistance without budget controls may face inconsistent coverage. Teams should evaluate cost-to-quality tradeoffs, monitor token consumption, and set guardrails for agentic workflows.
