# Check your budget

> What the agent can see, and what the user sees in the UI.

## From the agent

The agent gets every budget it may draw on inline on its first turn, by
introspecting its own identity — see [Agents](/agentic-banking/concepts/agents) for what
that introspection returns. The agent can also fetch, on demand:

* Every budget it is authorized for on its network.
* The primary budget's limit, spend-to-date, and period bounds (or a
  "no spend limit configured" placeholder).

The agent sees a spend limit, not a wallet balance — see
[Budgets](/agentic-banking/concepts/budgets) for how the cap is enforced. A \$1,000/day/agent
safety cap also applies on top of any budget's own limit; see
[Stopping a runaway agent](/agentic-banking/concepts/agents#stopping-a-runaway-agent).

## From the user

See [What the org member sees](/agentic-banking/concepts/budgets#what-the-org-member-sees)
for where a member's own budget slice appears in the web UI.
