Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Tokentoll is a CI gate that statically analyzes Python and JavaScript/TypeScript codebases to detect LLM API calls, estimate costs, and enforce budget policies on pull requests. It combines static analysis with a comprehensive pricing database, making it a novel tool for preventing cost regressions in LLM-heavy projects before they reach production.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers, platform engineers
