Trim Token-Heavy Results

Return concise context to save model budget.

Results Cost Tokens

Whatever your tool returns becomes part of the model's context, and every character spends tokens. Bloated output is real cost. 💸

Big Results Crowd Context

A giant blob can fill the model's limited context window, pushing out earlier messages and leaving less room to actually reason.
