A practical starting workflow
- Connect provider keys or use OrcaRouter rates, and point agents at the single gateway endpoint.
- Let the router grade tool and MCP calls, enforce guardrails and policy, and absorb upstream rate limits.
- Review glass-box receipts, budgets and audit trails, and add the Team plan or verified cyber models as needs grow.
Check before committing
- Provider model prices in the table are per-million-token list rates in USD, and the rate actually paid follows the provider, not OrcaRouter, which adds a $0.00 routing fee.
- Cyber models are for verified teams and authorized work, with business verification unlocking them, according to the homepage.
- The success-rate and evaluation figures for cyber models are vendor eval claims, not independently verified results.
