# AI Governance Cost Calculator AI Agent Connect

> AI Governance Cost Calculator MCP gives your AI agent a financial framework to model the economic impact of regulations like the EU AI Act. It calculates total cost of ownership, evaluates how different monitoring infrastructures affect your budget, and helps you put a dollar value on risk reduction through structured governance.

## Description

You can use this MCP to turn vague compliance concerns into hard numbers. Instead of guessing how much oversight will cost, you can have your AI agent run specific economic models based on your industry and risk profile. It handles the math for one-time implementation fees and the recurring costs of staying compliant. You can also test different operational setups, such as comparing the long-term expense of manual oversight against fully automated monitoring systems. This makes it easy to justify governance budgets by showing exactly how much risk reduction you are buying with your investment.

## Tools

### calculate_regulatory_overhead
This tool calculates the specific costs associated with meeting regulatory requirements. It helps your agent determine the financial burden of staying compliant with new laws.

### compute_total_governance_economics
This tool determines the total cost of ownership for your governance framework. It accounts for both initial setup fees and ongoing compliance expenses.

### estimate_infrastructure_impact
This tool models how different monitoring setups affect your budget. Use it to see how much you save or spend when moving from manual to automated systems.

### get_use_case_cost_profile
This tool retrieves a baseline cost profile for a specific AI use case. It provides the starting implementation and compliance costs for a given scenario.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total cost of governance for a high-risk healthcare AI use case with fully-automated monitoring?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total cost of ownership for the healthcare AI use case is €150,000. This includes a €120,000 implementation cost and €30,000 in annual compliance costs after automation savings.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will manual monitoring increase my ongoing costs compared to automation?
```

**Response:** 
```
Manual monitoring results in an additional €25,000 in annual maintenance and audit costs compared to a fully-automated setup.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Get the baseline cost profile for use case UC-992.
```

**Response:** 
```
The baseline profile for UC-992 shows a risk tier of 'high' with a base implementation cost of €50,000 and a base compliance cost of €10,000.
```

## Capabilities
