Estimate computational complexity and resource usage with detailed analysis
AI agents call estimate_compute_units to retrieve information from Zig MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs static analysis to estimate compute units/complexity. It reads and analyzes code/parameters but does not modify data, execute code, or have side effects. It produces an analytical report/estimate, which is a read-only operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access estimate_compute_units gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Zig MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for estimate_compute_units:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"estimate_compute_units": {}
}
}estimate_compute_units is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Estimate computational complexity and resource usage with detailed analysis. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Zig MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Zig MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for estimate_compute_units: 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 Zig MCP Server. Nothing to install.
estimate_compute_units is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the estimate_compute_units 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 estimate_compute_units. 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.
estimate_compute_units is provided by the Zig MCP Server MCP server (opensvm/zig-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
