Estimate the cost in USD for a video generation request before starting it. Helps plan budgets and batch sizes.
AI agents call estimate_veo_cost to retrieve information from Veo 3 1 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 a read/calculation operation: it computes a cost estimate without executing any generation job, moving money, or modifying data. It is purely informational, helping users plan before committing to an actual operation.
From the tool's definition 'Estimate the cost in USD for a video generation request before starting it. Helps plan budgets and batch sizes.' — this tool only calculates and returns an estimate, it does not initiate any transaction or generation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Estimate the cost in USD for a video generation request before starting it. Helps plan budgets and batch sizes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Veo 3 1 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Veo 3 1 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for estimate_veo_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 Veo 3 1 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
estimate_veo_cost 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_veo_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 estimate_veo_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.
estimate_veo_cost is provided by the Veo 3 1 MCP Server MCP server (waimakers/veo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
