MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~535 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
calculate_food_waste_cost ~116

Calculate the annual and lifetime cost of household food waste. Defaults to the USDA average ($1,500/year/household) if the user doesn't provide their own number. Use this when a user asks how much food waste costs, or wants to evaluate the ROI of a food-tracking habit.

NameTypeReqDescription
