Does this MCP calculate the cost of running AI?

Yes. You can use the capability to determine the total direct expenditure required to deploy specific safety guardrails, including moderation and PII detection costs.

What kind of risk can I quantify?

You can quantify the benefit of implementing guardrails by calculating how much potential damage is avoided. This helps you turn abstract risk into a dollar amount.

Is this useful for compliance?

Absolutely. You can use the MCP to assess how well your chosen guardrails align with specific regulatory or organizational mandates, helping you meet required standards.

What is the primary output I get?

The primary output is a financial metric. You can calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) or the net safety value, which helps you build a strong business case.

How do I calculate the total cost of my safety implementation?

You can use the calculate_total_safety_cost capability by providing the moderation cost per unit, PII detection cost per unit, and the total volume of content.

Can I assess if my guardrails meet GDPR or SOC2 requirements?

Yes, the evaluate_compliance_impact capability allows you to compare your implemented guardrails against a list of required compliance standards.

How is risk reduction calculated?

Risk reduction is calculated using the estimate_risk_reduction capability, which multiplies the potential financial loss by the effectiveness of the guardrails (derived from the false negative rate).

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

New Product Launch Budgeting

Before launching a new AI feature, run the MCP to calculate the total safety cost, ensuring the budget accounts for compliance and moderation.

Responding to New Regulations

When a new industry mandate drops, use the MCP to evaluate the compliance impact and determine the necessary guardrail upgrades.

Justifying Safety Spending

If the board questions the budget for safety, use the MCP to calculate the risk reduction and the resulting high ROI.

Vendor Due Diligence

When comparing AI vendors, use the MCP to model the cost and risk profile of their proposed safety features.

One connector, every AI

AI Safety Guardrails Cost 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 AI Safety Guardrails Cost 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.
