AI agents use sap_x402_estimate_cost to create or update resources in Sap, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sap environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
calls | number | — | Number of calls to estimate |
agentWallet | string | — | Agent wallet public key (base58) |
volumeCurve | array | — | Optional array of { afterCalls, pricePerCall } pricing breakpoints |
pricePerCall | string | — | Optional base price per call override in token base units |
totalCallsBefore | number | — | Optional cumulative settled calls before this estimate |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why sap_x402_estimate_cost is rated Medium

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sap_x402_estimate_cost safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sap, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sap_x402_estimate_cost, this is the rule to start with:
sap_x402_estimate_cost stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sap, apply this rule, and every sap_x402_estimate_cost call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about sap_x402_estimate_cost
Estimate cost for a number of calls using SDK X402Registry.estimateCost. Reads escrow/pricing when available and supports optional volume curve overrides. SAP MCP context: Payment and settlement flow. Estimate or fetch state before creating escrows or settling calls; write operations require an enabled signer mode and MCP policy approval. SAP MCP execution guidance: Intent: SAP MCP tool workflow. Pricing: free; call directly without x402. Routing: free hosted call; call directly and keep it small/exact when possible. Signer boundary: hosted reads/builders never receive keypair bytes; value-moving results must be finalized locally when signing is required. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sap MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
sap_x402_estimate_cost accepts 5 parameters: calls, agentWallet, volumeCurve, pricePerCall, totalCallsBefore. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Sap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sap_x402_estimate_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 Sap. Nothing to install.
sap_x402_estimate_cost is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sap_x402_estimate_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sap_x402_estimate_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.
sap_x402_estimate_cost is provided by the Sap MCP server (https://mcp.sap.oobeprotocol.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
