Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Cloudscope MCP Tools (15)

get_cost_summary

Returns a cost breakdown for a date range grouped by service, resource group, tag, or region. Defaults to current month if dates are omitted. Output includes a sorted table with each group name, cost in USD, and percentage of total. Includes a total row, daily average, and collapses groups beyond the top 10 into an "Other" row. Returns an error if the date range is invalid. Use this when the user asks "how much am I spending", "what costs the most", "show me my cloud bill", or wants a spending overview.

detect_anomalies

Compares daily spending over the last N days against the prior N days to find cost spikes. Returns a list of services where spending increased above the threshold percentage, sorted by increase amount. Each entry includes service name, previous cost, current cost, percentage change, and absolute change in USD. Returns an empty list if no anomalies found. Use this when the user asks about unexpected cost increases, billing surprises, or wants to know if anything changed recently.

list_recommendations

Fetches cost-saving recommendations filtered by category. Returns a list of recommendations each containing: title, category, impact level (high/medium/low), estimated annual savings in USD, affected resource ID, and a short description of the suggested action. Returns an empty list if no recommendations exist for the selected category. Use this when the user wants to reduce costs, find waste, or optimize resource usage.
