What it watches
OpenAI feeds Cost Guard: AI and hosting usage against budgets, spike alerts.
What Keelnest reads
- Credential: Organization admin key.
- Reads: usage (minute buckets), costs (daily), and, if you allow it, the API key list when a key leaks.
Cost is daily only. Individual keys cannot provide cost data.
Read-only, like every connection: Keelnest never refunds, charges, changes a price, edits a setting or an environment variable, merges on its own or runs a migration. The credential is checked with one read call before it is stored, encrypted at rest, and can be revoked at the provider at any time. Security says the whole of it.
How to connect
- Create the admin key. platform.openai.com > Settings > Organization > Admin keys > Create. Read permissions for usage and costs. Optional: read access to projects and API keys (api.management.read), so Keelnest can tell which key leaked. Open OpenAI.
- Paste it into Keelnest. In your workspace, open Integrations, find OpenAI and press Connect. Keelnest makes one read call to confirm the credential works, stores it encrypted, and starts reading on the next five-minute tick.
- Link the apps. Under Manage, pick which applications this account watches. An app linked to a host is checked the moment that host reports a deploy; an app linked to a payment or AI account starts building its baseline from that hour.
Connect OpenAI in a few minutes.
Create a workspace, free for your first app, and connect it from Integrations — or run the free health check on any public address first.
