What the audit checks
Seven areas where AI spend leaks most often. The full self-guided pass takes under 30 minutes.
Unused seats
Are paid seats assigned to people who rarely use the tool?
Duplicate tools
Are multiple tools doing the same job across teams?
Plan mismatch
Are you paying for Pro, Team, or annual plans when a lower tier is enough?
Cheaper alternatives
Are lower-cost tools good enough for the actual use case?
Renewal risk
Are annual renewals happening without review?
API cost exposure
Are token or usage costs tracked separately from subscriptions?
AI agent permissions
Do any installed AI agents have system, network, or file access beyond what the job requires?

Common waste patterns
Recurring patterns from buyer reviews — not a live counter, and not a claim about your stack.
- A ChatGPT or Claude seat plus the same vendor’s API for one job.
- Two coding assistants (editor + chat) billed as if they were different capabilities.
- Annual Team plans renewed without a last-30-day seat login check.
- Frontier models used as the default for classification or rewrite work.
Who it is for
When to use the AI Agent Permissions Audit
If your business uses AI agents — tools that run autonomously, access files, send emails, or call APIs — the AI Agent Permissions Audit helps you verify that none of them are rogue, overpermissioned, or creating system exposure you have not reviewed.
Pricing intelligence tools
After the score, use these tools to compare options, check live pricing, and estimate real monthly costs.
