calculate_cost

Calculate estimated construction cost based on real market data from the catalog. Uses average price per m² by material and region from actual company prices and projects. Args: area: House area in square meters (required, e.g. 120) material: Building material (каркас/frame, брус/timber, газобето...

calculate_cost is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call calculate_cost to retrieve information from MCP Market Russia without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though calculate_cost only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so calculate_cost only ever does what you allow.

What does the calculate_cost tool do? +

Calculate estimated construction cost based on real market data from the catalog. Uses average price per m² by material and region from actual company prices and projects. Args: area: House area in square meters (required, e.g. 120) material: Building material (каркас/frame, брус/timber, газобетон/aerated_concrete, кирпич/brick, СИП/SIP). Empty = average across all. region: Region or city name for regional pricing. Empty = nationwide average. floors: Number of floors (1 or 2). 0 = no adjustment.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Market Russia MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on calculate_cost? +

Register the MCP Market Russia MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for calculate_cost: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MCP Market Russia. Nothing to install.

What risk level is calculate_cost? +

calculate_cost is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit calculate_cost? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the calculate_cost rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block calculate_cost completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for calculate_cost. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides calculate_cost? +
