Description
Hi @google-gemini,
Love the work on `google-gemini/gemini-cli`! As usage grows across AI agent frameworks, server compute costs can start adding up quickly. We've also seen developers report that their autonomous agents accidentally burn through thousands of dollars in a single session because traditional payment rails lack built-in agent guardrails.
Would you be open to adding an optional usage metering & billing decorator using `neuforge-pay`? It acts as a proactive **Spend Firewall** and Merchant of Record for MCP servers. In 3 lines of code, it meters tokens, calculates live LLM COGS, and proactively blocks agent transactions that exceed a strict session budget limit (to prevent surprise bills).
Example Integration:
```python
from neuforge_pay import meter_endpoint
@app.get("/v1/query")
@meter_endpoint(price_charged_usd=0.05, model_name="claude-3-5-sonnet", session_budget_usd=10.00)
async def query_endpoint():
...
```
Happy to submit a clean PR if this aligns with your roadmap!

Research direction
No repository files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the proposed neuforge-pay integration and the /v1/query decorator example, then determine whether gemini-cli has a compatible request path and TypeScript integration point; done means an agreed, supported design for optional token metering, paid API keys, and session budget enforcement.
