# prorate

Prorate a money amount across a date range, in exact cents. The window is half-open: from the start date up to but not including the end date. The charge is amount × days used / days in the period, rounded half away from zero. The used range has to sit inside the period. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana).

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "prorate",
    "arguments": {
      "amount": "<amount>",
      "useEnd": "<useEnd>",
      "useStart": "<useStart>",

    }
  }
}
```

## Why prorate is rated High

prorate triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

## Use case

AI agents invoke prorate to trigger actions in ScorpTech x402 API. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches ScorpTech x402 API:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "prorate": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "prorate_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
