# Microgram: tov-proofs-protective-depth

`station__algovigilance__microgram-tov-proofs-protective-depth` · native (always callable) · domain `algovigilance` · pv-relevance `pv-core`

Compute minimum protective depth H such that ℙ(H) < target_probability. Formula: H ≥ 1 + log(1/ε)/α. Answers: 'how many safety layers do I need?'

## Agent metadata

- `idempotent`: true
- `read_only`: true
- `expected_latency_ms`: unknown (not yet contract-tested)
- `cost_tokens_estimate`: unknown

## Input schema

- `target_probability` *number* (required) — Target probability threshold ε, in (0, 1). Example: 0.05 for 5% residual risk
- `attenuation_rate` *number* (required) — Attenuation rate α (must be positive)
