About TokenOps

TokenOps provides a control plane for managing token usage, routing, budgets, and auditing across multiple AI model providers. It acts as a gateway that intercepts requests to OpenAI-compatible endpoints and applies policy decisions before forwarding them to upstream providers. The platform allows teams to define budgets, routing rules, and compliance tiers per project or API key, with hard caps and alerts to prevent overspending. Usage metadata, including token counts, latency, and billed costs, is recorded for every request and can be exported for review. The system supports multiple upstream providers through a single API, enabling teams to distribute traffic across models while maintaining visibility into performance and expenditures. Routing decisions are logged with cryptographic verification, supporting security and compliance reviews without retaining prompt content.
