Re: An MCP experiment / automating reporting

Hi Jarek,

Thanks for the positive feedback and the additional context.

The "Human-In-The-Loop" section with source links is a must. Without it, reviewers have no straightforward way to validate the output, so +1 there.

On cost, I think my original estimate of around $0.10-$0.15 is actually closer to correct. The run made 9 MCP tool calls; working through the response sizes, the release artifact evidence was the largest at around 8-10k tokens, with the remaining calls adding perhaps 10-15k tokens between them. Either way, it’s not expensive, even when scaled to the number of incubating projects we have, and this would be run once a month.

The local LLM angle from Magpie is a path forward; vendor neutrality and reduced cost would both be attractive for something like this, even though we're talking a few dollars a month.

Kind Regards,

Justin
