Context tax

Connecting this server adds ~3,730 tokens of tool definitions to every model turn (moderate, 18 tools). Measured 2026-10-19 via its hosted endpoint; o200k tokenizer, worst case for clients that load all tools up front. How we measure

Input prices as of 2026-10-06. Excludes your own prompt and output.

Tools (18)

• plan_trip665 tok

  Plan an origin-to-destination journey when find_transit reports available coverage with planning enabled. Returns up to three independently validated itineraries and resolves named endpoints together; departure defaults to now. Never assemble or repair journeys from get_departures.

• find_transit648 tok

  Resolve a coverage, agency, route, station, stop, or a currently observed train number (where vehicle data exists); inspect an exact reference or nearby coordinates. Context ranks candidates without selecting identity. No general address geocoding. Use plan_trip for journeys.

• get_departures557 tok

  Find what leaves a stop next, the first service or last service in a bounded window. Pass a stopRef from find_transit, or a stop name with its coverage (one station complex resolves directly; different same-named stations return candidates). Returns dated trip references for get_vehicle_status. Use plan_trip for journeys; departures cannot establish a route or connection.

• get_service_status273 tok

  Check disruptions, delays, closures, accessibility alerts or revalidate a chosen itinerary without replacing it. Scope by coverage or an agency, route, stop or dated trip reference. Aggregate scopes include canonical service in the next 24 hours. Use get_vehicle_status for an observed vehicle location.

• get_station_predictions145 tok

  Get real-time train arrival predictions for a transit station. Supports DC Metro and NYC Subway. Accepts a station name or an exact station ID; if a name matches several stations, the result lists the candidates to choose from.

• get_stations_by_line143 tok

  Get all stations on a specific transit line. Supports DC Metro and NYC Subway.

• get_route_info139 tok

  Get detailed information about a transit route including service patterns. NYC Subway only.

• get_vehicle_status128 tok

  Locate an observed vehicle on a dated trip or list observed vehicles on a route. Requires a dated trip-instance or route reference, never a bare train number or stop. Use find_transit to resolve identity and get_departures for approaching service.

• get_bus_stops98 tok

  Get DC Metro bus stops. Returns all stops or filters by lat/lon/radius.

• get_station_transfers96 tok

  Get transfer connections and nearby stations from a transit station. NYC Subway only.

• search_stations91 tok

  Search for transit stations by name or code. Supports DC Metro and NYC Subway.

• get_all_stations88 tok

  Get the complete list of transit stations with coordinates for one city. Large result; prefer search_stations or get_stations_by_line when looking for specific stations.

• get_bus_predictions83 tok

  Get real-time bus arrival predictions for a DC Metro bus stop.

• get_bus_positions79 tok

  Get real-time positions of DC Metro buses, optionally filtered by route.

• get_incidents70 tok

  Get current transit incidents and service advisories for DC Metro or NYC Subway.

• get_elevator_incidents66 tok

  Get current elevator and escalator outages. DC Metro only.

• get_train_positions51 tok

  Get real-time positions of all trains on the DC Metro system.

• get_bus_routes50 tok

  Get all DC Metro bus routes with route IDs and descriptions.
