Every session	Name and description	69 tok
When the agent uses it	The SKILL.md instructions	2,836 tok
Only if opened	4 bundled files (11 KB)	varies

Until it is used, apify-actorization costs about 20× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Installing all 5 skills from apify/agent-skills would load 372 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
