What is the difference between P50 and P99 latency?

P50 is the 50th percentile latency, meaning half of your requests finish faster than this time. P99 is the 99th percentile, which measures the latency experienced by the slowest 1% of your requests. Using both gives you a much clearer picture of real-world performance.

Does this MCP account for network latency?

Yes, you can factor in external latencies, such as network delays or queue wait times, when calculating the total pipeline latency.

Can I use this with my existing agent code?

You use this MCP to model and validate your agent's performance parameters. The results inform you on how to adjust your code's timeouts and retry logic before deployment.

What kind of input does the calculate_retry_overhead capability need?

This capability requires the base latency (P50), the probability of failure, and the maximum number of retries to accurately quantify the expected additional latency.

How is the total P99 latency calculated?

The total P99 is approximated using the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual stage P99 values, rather than a simple linear sum.

What defines a high-risk stage?

A stage is flagged as high risk if its calculated timeout probability exceeds 5%.

How can I find the best timeout for my agents?

Use the evaluate_stage_reliability capability to receive a recommended optimal timeout, which is calculated as three times the P99 latency of the stage.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Agent Latency Pipeline Calculator.

01
Analyze pipeline latency
Use this capability to calculate the total expected latency and check for potential SLA breaches across a sequence of agent stages.
02
Calculate retry overhead
This capability quantifies the extra latency added to a specific stage because of potential retry logic.
03
Evaluate stage reliability
Determine a single agent stage's specific failure risk and find the optimal configuration for its timeout settings.

Real work

What teams actually run

Validating a multi-step workflow

You're building an agent that runs through data extraction, processing, and reporting. You use this MCP to calculate the total P99 latency to ensure it stays under the 2-second SLA.

Optimizing critical path stages

A specific stage in your agent is slow. You use this MCP to evaluate its reliability and adjust the timeout to prevent unnecessary failures.

Cost-modeling retries

You suspect your agent retries too often, wasting compute time. You use this MCP to calculate the precise latency overhead caused by the current retry probability.

Comparing architectural designs

You have two potential agent designs. You use this MCP to model both, comparing the resulting P50 and P99 metrics to choose the fastest option.

One connector, every AI

Agent Latency Pipeline Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Agent Latency Pipeline Calculator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
