Context tax

Connecting this server adds ~3,030 tokens of tool definitions to every model turn (moderate, 14 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 (14)

• get_cam_timeline333 tok

  Archived still frames for a resort's webcams (or one cam) over the last 1–48 hours, as links with capture times, plus the newest storm frame on tape per cam. Only cams whose operator allows archiving appear; PeakCam captures every 6 hours. Use it for "what did it look like this morning" or "show me the last storm". Frames are never returned inline.

• find_powder324 tok

  Rank resorts by new snow in the last 24 or 48 hours, optionally within one state/province and above a minimum. Pass sourceOnly="snotel" to answer "where did it snow most, measured only" with station data alone. Resorts with no report are left out; zero inches is a measurement. Sources: `snotel` = measured at a USDA NRCS SNOTEL station near the resort (station elevation, not the summit), `open_meteo` = weather-model estimate for resorts without a station.

• search_resorts280 tok

  Find PeakCam resorts by name (or part of one, or a region) and get their slugs with a one-line snow summary each. Call this first when the user names a resort; then use the slug with the other tools. Covers about 150 resorts in the US, Canada, Chile and Argentina.

• get_percent_of_normal209 tok

  SNOTEL-fed resorts ranked by snowpack relative to normal: snow water equivalent against the station's own 1991–2020 median for today's date, deepest first, optionally within one state. Only measured station readings qualify, inside the 10–300 % band and above 2 in of SWE; early-season noise is withheld, not ranked. Same data as https://www.peakcam.io/snow-report/percent-of-normal.

• ask193 tok

  One natural-language question in, one tool result out, deterministically: the router resolves the resort by name or nickname, picks an intent from the wording (snow, open/closed, forecast, cams, history, compare, where did it snow, percent of normal, profile, regions, alerts) and calls the matching tool. Returns the tool's data, the resort, citation URLs and a dated sentence to quote. Answers `answerable: false` with suggestions rather than guessing. No language model is involved.

• get_resort_conditions190 tok

  The latest snow report for one resort with provenance: new snow 24 h / 48 h, base depth, snow water equivalent, percent of normal, 7-day trend, rating, season status, plus a cam summary and the canonical PeakCam URL to cite. Sources: `snotel` = measured at a USDA NRCS SNOTEL station near the resort (station elevation, not the summit), `open_meteo` = weather-model estimate for resorts without a station.

• get_snow_history177 tok

  Daily snow depth, snow water equivalent, precipitation accumulation and temperatures for the last 1–30 days at the resort's station (SNOTEL where there is one, Open-Meteo model otherwise), newest first. Use it for "how has the base changed this week" questions.

• get_resort_profile167 tok

  Who and where a resort is, without the snow numbers: location and elevations, website and social links, PeakCam's cam page, the SNOTEL station its numbers come from (if any), season status, cam counts, and every URL PeakCam publishes for it (page, JSON, markdown, Atom feed, state hub). Use get_resort_conditions for today's snow.

• get_opening_dates166 tok

  Season opening and closing dates with status (open / closed / unknown) for every resort, or those in one state/province, soonest opening first. Confirmed dates come from the resort; projected ones are third-party estimates.

• get_resort_cams148 tok

  The resort's webcams as links: PeakCam page URL, the operator's stream or page URL, a still-image URL when one exists, and health (live / down / unchecked, from PeakCam's probe, not proof of a live broadcast). Frames are never returned inline.

• compare_resorts147 tok

  Side-by-side latest snow, season status and cam counts for 2–6 resorts. Every slug must resolve; an unknown one returns suggestions.

• get_alert_options144 tok

  How to be told when it snows, without this server writing anything: the powder-alert threshold and schedule, the e-mail, webhook (Standard Webhooks, signed), Atom and iCal channels, the per-resort public Atom feed, the webhook payload contract, and the manage page where a person registers a destination. Pass a slug to get that resort's feed URL.

• get_forecast140 tok

  Five-day National Weather Service forecast for a US resort (daily high/low, text forecast, precipitation chance, wind) with a rough snow estimate derived from the forecast wording. NWS covers US resorts only; Canadian and Andes resorts return available=false.

• list_regions103 tok

  Every state, province and country PeakCam covers, with resort, reporting, measured (SNOTEL) and cam counts and the hub page URL. Call it to learn the valid `state` values for find_powder, get_opening_dates and get_percent_of_normal, or to answer "where does PeakCam have data".
