get_accelerator_costs

Returns 13 specific AI accelerators (H100/H200/B100/B200/GB200, MI300X/MI355X, Gaudi 3, TPU v5p, Trainium 2, Maia 100, MTIA v2) with structured fields: chip, vendor, processNode, dieSizeMm2, memoryType, memoryCapacityGb, memoryBandwidthTbS, fp8TflopsSparse, bf16TflopsDense, packageType, estMfgCos...

Part of the Silicon Analysts server.

get_accelerator_costs 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 get_accelerator_costs to retrieve information from Silicon Analysts 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 get_accelerator_costs 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 get_accelerator_costs only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_accelerator_costs tool do? +

Returns 13 specific AI accelerators (H100/H200/B100/B200/GB200, MI300X/MI355X, Gaudi 3, TPU v5p, Trainium 2, Maia 100, MTIA v2) with structured fields: chip, vendor, processNode, dieSizeMm2, memoryType, memoryCapacityGb, memoryBandwidthTbS, fp8TflopsSparse, bf16TflopsDense, packageType, estMfgCostUsd, estSellPriceUsd, chipGrossMarginPct, costBreakdown.{logicDie, hbm, packaging, testAssembly}, interconnect. USE THIS for: comparing manufacturing cost or sell price across vendors; looking up published specs of a specific shipping accelerator. DO NOT USE for: chips not yet shipping (use get_market_pulse for forecasts); custom chip cost modeling (use calculate_chip_cost); HBM market dynamics (use get_hbm_market_data). Filters: vendor (enum), chip (substring match), fields (projection list). Returns empty array if filters match nothing — does not error. Each chip record carries provenance.last_updated; data refreshes monthly.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Silicon Analysts MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_accelerator_costs? +

Register the Silicon Analysts MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_accelerator_costs: 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 Silicon Analysts. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_accelerator_costs? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_accelerator_costs? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_accelerator_costs 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 get_accelerator_costs completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_accelerator_costs. 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 get_accelerator_costs? +

get_accelerator_costs is provided by the Silicon Analysts MCP server (https://siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Silicon Analysts tool call.
