Kirat is a program, not a service. It works only where Claude runs tools on a machine that has Kirat installed: your computer, a remote machine over SSH, or a Claude Code cloud environment you set up once.

Limits in Claude Code cloud sessions

• Keys in environment variables are readable by everyone who uses the environment; network secrets keep them unreadable.
• The daily budget counts per session, so set spending limits at OpenAI and Google.
• Background jobs and recent results end with the session.
