valve

OpenAI-compatible proxy with adaptive token budgeting, per-session dashboards, and optional metrics exporters.

Quick start

cargo install --path .

Create config.toml in ~/.config/valve/ (Linux/macOS) or %APPDATA%\valve\ (Windows):

[server]
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 7532

[proxy]
default_provider = "openai"

[proxy.providers.openai]
kind = "open_ai"
base_url = "https://api.openai.com/v1"
api_key = "sk-your-key"

[adapters]
observers = ["telemetry"]

Run the proxy:

valve

The terminal UI starts automatically. Use Tab, arrow keys, or h/l to move between tabs; 1-4 pick a history window; +/- cycle windows; Up/Down or j/k navigate sessions; r resets history; q quits. Append --headless for log-only mode.

Telemetry exporters

Add an optional Prometheus scrape endpoint or OTLP exporter in config.toml:

[telemetry.prometheus]
enabled = true
listen = "127.0.0.1:9898"

[telemetry.otlp]
enabled = true
endpoint = "http://localhost:4317"
protocol = "grpc"
interval_secs = 60

Examples

cargo run --example agent_dialogue
cargo run --example agent_dialogue -- --headless

Benchmarks

cargo bench --bench throughput
