Every product should work before sale, include a precise PDF manual, explain what problem it solves, and avoid duplicating existing marketplace products.
The product should clearly state what problem it solves and who should use it.
Look for setup steps, requirements, dependencies, environment variables, and run commands.
Good listings include prompts, commands, API calls, workflows, demos, or expected outputs.
Product specification
Eliminate unexpected LLM API bills instantly before a single line of code executes.
Developers frequently face sudden budget overruns because recursive LLM API calls are hidden deep within `for` loops or nested function logic, escaping manual code review. With token costs fluctuating and API volume scaling, a single unnoticed loop can generate thousands in redundant charges within minutes.
This single-file static analyzer functions as a pre-execution financial firewall, utilizing Python's native `ast` module to recursively scan your codebase for risky patterns. Unlike heavy security harnesses, this tool is specifically optimized to detect billing hazards by flagging API calls from providers like `anthropic` and `litellm` that are trapped inside iterative structures. It delivers a zero-config pass/fail report in seconds, allowing you to architect safe prompts without altering your project dependencies.
What's included:
- Zero-Config CLI Tool -- Runs instantly using Python's standard library, meaning no complex setup or dependency management is required.
- Recursive AST Scanning -- Traverses your entire directory structure to analyze logic depth, ensuring no nested path is left unchecked.
- Loop Integration Detection -- Specifically identifies if `anthropic` or `litellm` API calls are dangerously nested within `for` or `while` loops.
- Provider-Agnostic Support -- Checks against major LLM providers to ensure broad coverage across your tech stack.
- Single-File Architecture -- A lightweight, portable script that can be dropped into any CI/CD pipeline or local environment without friction.
Who this is for:
Developers, founders, and technical leads who are integrating generative AI into products and need to guarantee cost-efficiency. This is essential for growth teams automating SEO content or workflows where high-volume API calls are necessary, but where human error in loop logic could lead to catastrophic financial leakage.
Real example:
A startup building an SEO automation tool accidentally placed a `litellm` completion call inside a list iterator handling 5,000 records. Manual review missed the error, resulting in a $450 spike in less than ten minutes during testing. After integrating this analyzer, the tool flagged the nested call in 0.4 seconds, preventing an estimated $2,700 monthly overrun.
What you'll achieve:
- Reduce potential billing anomalies by 100% through pre-execution detection of recursive loops.
- Decrease code review time for AI integrations by removing the need to manually trace complex nesting structures.
- Gain immediate financial confidence when deploying scripts that rely on high-volume token generation.

Lyra Bridge - LLM Loop Sentry
A static analysis tool for detecting wallet-draining LLM API usage loops.
This tool recursively scans Python codebases to identify LLM API calls
(e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, LiteLLM) nested within control flow loops.
It estimates token payloads and calculates a worst-case cost projection
to prevent infinite billing scenarios during development.
Usage Examples:
# Scan current directory
python lyra_sentry.py .
# Scan specific file with verbose output
python lyra_sentry.py --verbose src/bot.py
# Scan with a custom loop iteration multiplier for cost estimation
python lyra_sentry.py --multiplier 5000 ./src
Environment Variables:
LLM_SENTRY_PRICING_KEY: If set, attempts to fetch live pricing.
(Gracefully degrades to internal pricing if missing/invalid).
