The Information reported that ServiceNow plans to charge customers when outside AI agents use its new Action Fabric to take actions inside ServiceNow apps. Datadog already has MCP fair-use limits, and SAP is tightening rules around how third-party AI agents access SAP data. That creates a new SaaS debate: if enterprises already pay for the software, should vendors get a second meter every time Claude, Copilot, or another agent touches their data and workflows? Or is this the logical new pricing layer if AI agents become the main way employees use enterprise apps?
Are SaaS companies about to tax AI agents?

API pricing / rate limits and tiered enterprise access has been around for a long time. AI Agent usage may be forcing SaaS companies that don’t have these limits to reconsider their business model now that parallel automation is driving up usage.
Nothing new, nothing unfair.
