The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
context.check ~30
Check whether the session has gone over its token budget. Returns a boolean the agent can gate on before continuing.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
context.estimate ~80
Estimate the token cost of reading a file before reading it, and compare it with cheaper alternatives such as a graph query. Use this before a large read to protect the budget.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| alternativeCost | integer | – | Estimated token cost of the cheaper alternative, for example a graph query |
| path | string | yes | Path to the file that would be read |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
context.limit ~56
Set or read the token budget for the session. With maxTokens set, stores the budget; without, returns the current budget and remaining tokens.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| maxTokens | integer | – | Budget in tokens. Omit to read the current budget. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
context.log ~84
Record a token spend event into the session ledger. Call this after a read, a tool call, or a model turn so the budget report stays truthful.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| chars | integer | – | Characters read or produced |
| kind | string | – | What kind of work consumed the tokens |
| note | string | – | What was spent on |
| tokens | integer | yes | Tokens consumed |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
context.report ~27
Return the current session token spend: totals, spend by kind, budget, and remaining budget.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.

What tools does the token-gate-mcp server expose?
token-gate-mcp exposes 5 tools: context.log, context.report, context.estimate, context.limit, context.check. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 277 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the token-gate-mcp server still maintained?
token-gate-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
