Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
~2,746Tokens (tool definitions)
~5.1 KBTypical response size
Significant attention impact (2.15% of 128k context)
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢generate_fair_lineup(players, format, gameMinutes, periods, segmentsPerPeriod, ...)
Create a deterministic rotation with balanced minutes, goalkeeper duties and preferred positions. Returns each substitution window, player minutes and a shareable printable link. Duplicate names receive numbered suffixes. Without designated goalkeepers, everyone is available in goal.
