Estimate Tool Cost

sap_estimate_tool_cost

Free pre-call cost estimator (dry-run — no charge, no x402 challenge). Given a tool name, returns the hosted pricing tier, estimated USD cost, and the recommended maxPriceUsd to pass to sap_payments_call_paid_tool. Always call this before any paid tool to avoid silent cap aborts. Set your maxPriceUsd to the estimate × 1.25 to avoid abort-and-retry. This tool is always free and never triggers x402 settlement.

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.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
toolNameYesThe MCP tool name to estimate, such as jupiter_getQuote, magicblock_swap, or sap_discover_agents.
argumentsNoOptional tool arguments. For value-action tools, the amount or size may affect the price.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contentYesMCP content blocks returned to the caller.
isErrorNoTrue when the tool result represents an application-level error.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description claims the tool is a 'dry-run — no charge, no x402 challenge' and 'always free and never triggers x402 settlement,' implying no side effects. However, the annotation readOnlyHint=false indicates the tool may write or have side effects, creating a direct contradiction. Score 1 per rubric for contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The main description is concise and front-loaded with key info, but the appended 'SAP MCP execution guidance' block adds length and repetition without clear necessity. It could be trimmed or moved to a separate field, making the description less focused.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the output schema exists (not shown but noted), the description covers return values (pricing tier, cost, maxPriceUsd), explains why to use the tool (avoid cap aborts), and confirms it's free. It adequately addresses the tool's role in the payment workflow.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by providing concrete examples for toolName (e.g., jupiter_getQuote, magicblock_swap) and explaining that the arguments parameter can affect cost for value-action tools. This exceeds the schema's own descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool is a 'free pre-call cost estimator (dry-run)' and explains it returns pricing tier, estimated cost, and recommended maxPriceUsd. It differentiates from siblings by explicitly positioning it as a prerequisite for paid tools, contrasting with pricing catalog or x402 tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly says 'Always call this before any paid tool to avoid silent cap aborts' and provides a concrete instruction on setting maxPriceUsd to estimate × 1.25. It does not directly contrast with alternative pricing tools like sap_pricing_catalog, but the guidance is clear and actionable.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Tools are organized by protocol prefix (e.g., adrena_, jupiter_, sap_) which helps distinguish domains. Within each protocol, tool names clearly indicate actions (e.g., openPosition, getQuote). However, with 360 tools, some cross-protocol overlaps (e.g., multiple swap tools) and many similar fetch tools in the sap_* family require careful reading of descriptions to disambiguate.

Naming Consistency4/5

Each protocol group follows a consistent naming convention (e.g., snake_case for adrena_, camelCase for 3land, sap_ prefix for SAP SDK tools). The mix of conventions across protocols is acceptable, though a uniform style would improve predictability. Minor inconsistency: hyphenated names like metaplex-nft_ vs underscores.

Tool Count2/5

360 tools is far too many for a well-scoped MCP server. This aggregates dozens of protocols and SAP-specific features, making navigation difficult. The server would benefit from being split into focused micro-servers (e.g., SAP identity, Jupiter DEX, NFT tools). The current count overwhelms the coherence of the set.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a vast range of Solana ecosystem activities: token operations, swaps, staking, NFT management, bridging, oracle data, identity registration, chat, escrow, subscriptions, and premium streaming. Major lifecycle operations are present, though some niche subdomains may have missing functions (e.g., detailed governance or lending management). Overall, it's comprehensive for the intended scope.
