Exactly — every feature started as a fire I had to put out myself. Budget limits came after an agent quietly looped over a weekend and burned through way more API credit than it should have. PII masking came from realizing how much user data was leaving our network without anyone looking at it.
And you put your finger on the real open question. Honestly, I don't know yet whether these problems generalize with the same intensity — that's a big reason I open-sourced it instead of keeping it internal. What people actually turn on (which guardrails, which providers they route between) should tell me fairly quickly whether these are universal pains or just mine.
So if you've run into any of these in production, I'd genuinely love to know which one bit hardest — that's exactly the signal I'm watching for.
That’s helpful context. I appreciate you being open about what you know versus what you’re still trying to validate.
I’d like to continue the conversation outside the thread. What’s the best email to reach you on?

Shipping LLM features I kept hitting the same walls: cost, PII, agent loops, outages, wiring AI to my APIs. ILTER bundles MCP+OpenAPI tools, smart routing/fallback, budget limits, PII masking — one binary.

What stands out is that nearly every feature came from something you personally ran into in production.
The next interesting evidence will come from seeing whether other teams encounter the same problems with the same intensity.
