Okta has developed an identity-scoped Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool that can help reduce costs associated with AI agent token usage. The tool allows for more efficient model calls by limiting the information sent to AI agents, thereby reducing the 'tool tax' – the excess tokens consumed when an AI agent considers multiple tools. This development aims to make AI model calls more cost-effective. The reduction in AI agent token costs is likely to benefit organizations that rely heavily on AI services.
