SECTION 06 / TRANSPARENCY
Documented Limitations
We prefer transparent, upfront statements of scope over generic claims. Here is the honest, auditable list of Costframe’s current capabilities, active integrations, and cloud system boundaries.
GCP Ingestion & Parity
Live GCP resource-level scanning is not yet at parity with Azure. Cost ingestion on GCP is currently billing-export based only, which requires an active BigQuery billing dataset configuration.
AWS & GCP Multi-Cloud Support
AWS and GCP connections support on-demand manual audits of exactly 7 approved savings detectors. Continuous background scanning executes periodically based on your organization's configured cron intervals.
Deterministic AI Summaries
Our AI summaries are fully grounded and deterministic. They are fed only structured, locally compiled findings. They cannot invent resources, fabricate list prices, browse the web, or propose modifications beyond pre-compiled rules.
Optional Security Scans
Governance and security-posture detectors are completely optional and must be explicitly enabled inside workspace settings. They are not active by default.
Integrations & Custom Scripts
Outbound ticketing hooks, external budget alerts (Slack/Teams), and remediation script exports are fully decoupled to ensure zero write permissions on cloud tenants. Costframe remains structurally read-only.
Data Freshness & Sync
Provider billing cost data syncs daily via BullMQ queue jobs. The Azure Retail Prices catalog index is fetched and rebuilt on a weekly cadence.
