Cost Control

Control the cost per completed task.

Palma.ai reduces token waste and tool-call loops by making MCP agents more accurate, more efficient, and measurable—so costs stay predictable as usage grows.

Efficiency, not guesswork

How Palma.ai reduces cost

1

Reduce wasted tool calls

Palma.ai limits tool sprawl and encourages focused capability exposure so agents don't attempt dozens of irrelevant calls before succeeding.

2

Shorten multi-hop chains

Palma.ai supports composing tool sequences into fewer, higher-signal capabilities. Fewer hops = less context = lower cost.

3

Improve accuracy to cut retries

The most expensive agent is the one that fails and retries. By improving task success, Palma.ai reduces the compounding cost of multi-hop drift.

4

FinOps visibility for MCP

Track token usage, tool-call counts, retries/failure rates, and cost per completed task by agent, tool, and workflow.

The problem

Agent cost rarely fails "a little." It fails catastrophically:

Multi-hop loops inflate tokens and tool calls

Agents retry when interfaces are ambiguous or too broad

No visibility: bills arrive, but root causes are unclear

Every new agent doubles cost variance

What "good" looks like

Cost measured as € per completed business outcome, not tokens alone

Tool use constrained so agents don't "thrash"

Clear allocation: which agents, which tools, which workflows drive spend

Controls that scale alongside adoption

Outcomes

Lower cost per completed task

More predictable spend as you scale

Faster identification of "cost leaks" (tools, workflows, teams)

Better ROI narrative for executive stakeholders

Make agent spend predictable—and worth it.
