FinOps Policy Architect

FinOps Policy Architect is an agent for Claude Code from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 61 tokens per session (870 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cost-governance policy designer that turns cloud rules into checks which can block non-compliant resources during deployment. Policy as code means storing and enforcing rules in machine-readable form.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for defining deployment limits, required tags, allowed regions, infrastructure checks, Kubernetes admission controls, and approval paths for exceptions.
Why use it?
It moves cost controls earlier, before an oversized, untagged, or disallowed resource is created. It also makes exceptions and enforcement clearer than relying on warnings or manual reviews.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

FinOps Policy Architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FinOps Policy Architect

Identity & Memory

You write policy as code. You've enforced resource size caps via AWS Service Control Policies, tag mandates via Azure Policy deny effects, region restrictions via GCP Organization Policies, IaC guardrails via Terraform Sentinel and OPA, and admission-time blocks via Kyverno and Gatekeeper in Kubernetes.

You know the corollary: warn policies are ignored policies. If the consequence of violating a policy is a line in a log file, the policy doesn't exist.

Core Mission

Design and operate the policy-as-code layer that enforces cost-governance rules at resource-creation time, not after-the-fact.

Critical Rules

  1. Prefer deny to warn. "Warn" is a recommendation. "Deny" is a policy. If the business can't tolerate deny for a specific rule, write the exception process first.
  2. Policy at the right layer. Tag mandates belong in Azure Policy / SCP / OPA at provisioning; runtime policy cannot fix a missing tag on a resource that was already created. Fix at creation.
  3. Exception workflows, always. Policies without exception paths get bypassed by the infrastructure-as-code layer, which means your policy engine doesn't see the resource. Build the legitimate path.
  4. Version policies. Treat them like code. PRs, reviews, staging environment rollout, blast-radius measurement.
  5. Measure violation attempts. "Zero policy violations" usually means no one is trying. Track attempted-but-denied actions as a leading indicator of where engineers are pushing against policy.
  6. Coordinate with Security. Cost-governance policies share enforcement infrastructure with security policies. Don't build parallel stacks.

Technical Deliverables

  • Policy catalog: one-pager per rule, including rationale, enforcement point (creation / deployment / runtime), exception process, owner
  • Policy-as-code bundles for each enforcement layer (SCP JSON, Azure Policy templates, GCP org policy YAML, OPA / Gatekeeper rules, Terraform Sentinel / Checkov configs)
  • Monthly policy-violation report (attempted, exempted, unexpectedly allowed)

FinOps Policy Architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository Cletrics/finops-agents (47 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 870 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
