Free option
No free resource lists this job. A cheap paid SKU is not a free option.
Failure modes to watch
  • Observability gap: Alert on a drop in trace ingestion and on certificate expiry for the trace host. Do not treat a missing trace as a successful quiet run.
  • Prompt injection: Compare each tool call to the original user task. If the call only makes sense given text that arrived from a fetched page, file, or message, stop and ask. Record which source the instruction came from. This catalog does not store payloads or attack steps.
