# Estimate semantic index cost

> What switching Semantic search on (or to another embed model) would cost ONE existing column, in credits, before the save: the backfill now (cost_expected over cells_to_embed of cells_filled; text already embedded with the same model is free) and one new or edited value later, as a range (cost_per_value_min to cost_per_value_max: a later value is its own call and its length is unknown until it lands). A dry run of the embed job's own sweep priced by the catalog rule, at the platform key every call runs on. No writes, no charges. Surface the numbers to the user before update_playtable_field sets payload.semantic_index.

Contract:
- MCP tool `estimate_semantic_index`, registry package `mcp.playtables/playtable_fields`, mount `playtables.columns`.
- Operation `action`, response envelope `action`.
- Flags: read only.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/playtables/openapi.yaml post /api/playtable-fields/{sid}/estimate-semantic-index
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: 'GetSales public contract: gs.service.playtables'
  description: >-
    The data platform and the outreach engine: tables of people and companies,
    their enrichment columns, cells and runs, the data sources that feed them,
    sender profiles, the stoplist, the activity feed, the credit ledger, and the
    multichannel workflows with their per-person journeys and tasks.


    GENERATED. This document is projected from the Zod MCP tool registry in
    `product/mcp/gs.mcp` (one tool per public endpoint, 1:1). Do not edit it by
    hand; edit the tool definition and regenerate with `pnpm openapi:public`.


    Surface: the public `/api` contract of `gs.service.playtables`, 142
    operations. This is the only OpenAPI document the platform publishes.
    Internal (`/internal`) and health endpoints are deliberately absent: they
    are not part of any contract, they can change without notice, and the
    service source is their only description.


    Conventions:

    - Auth is a bearer JWT, optionally narrowed by the `Team-SID` header.

    - Every success body is an MCP envelope: `success: true` plus one typed
    `operation` shape (`search`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `metrics`,
    `group_by`, `action`), and a `meta` block with `trace_id` for support.

    - Every failure is the same `McpError` envelope with a code from a fixed
    16-code taxonomy, so a client maps errors once.

    - Lists page with `page_size` (0 to 500, default 50) plus an opaque forward
    `cursor`; `page_size: 0` returns counts only.

    - On `GET` and `DELETE`, object-valued query parameters (`filter`, `sort`)
    travel as JSON text and array-valued ones repeat as `name[]=value`.

    - The MCP-only `_meta` field (usage analytics) never reaches the backend and
    is not part of this contract.
