Quality & Safety
Findings (1)
- LOWTool 'status' description lacks action verbin status
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
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.

Tools (4)
⚪cheapest_model(min_context, provider, in_weight, out_weight, limit, ...)
Return the cheapest LLM API models that meet a constraint, ranked by blended $/M-token cost. Use this to route an agent to the lowest-cost model with enough context that is currently operational. Filter by minimum context window and provider; weight input vs output cost for your workload.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"min_context": {
"type": "number",
"description": "Minimum context window (tokens), e.g. 128000."
},
"provider": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Restrict to one provider slug (openai, anthropic, google, ...)."
},
"in_weight": {
"type": "number",
"description": "Relative weight of input-token price (default 1)."
},
"out_weight": {
"type": "number",
"description": "Relative weight of output-token price (default 3, output-heavy)."
},
"limit": {
"type": "number",
"description": "How many to return (default 10)."
},
"operational_only": {
"type": "boolean",
"description": "Drop providers with a major/critical status indicator."
}
}
}⚪price_history(model)
Return the dated $/M-token price history (input + output) for one model. This is AI API Radar's exclusive time-series — useful for spotting price-war cuts and trend.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"model": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Model slug, e.g. 'anthropic--claude-opus-4-x' or just the id."
}
},
"required": [
"model"
]
}⚪status(provider)
Current operational status for one or all AI API providers (from each provider's public status page).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"provider": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Provider slug; omit for all providers."
}
}
}🟡price_change_alerts(webhook, provider, direction, limit)
Subscribe a webhook to fire when a provider changes prices (or read recent price changes). Pass `webhook` to subscribe (optionally filter by provider and direction 'cut'|'raise'); omit to read recent changes.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"webhook": {
"type": "string",
"description": "HTTPS URL to POST price-change events to. Omit to just read recent changes."
},
"provider": {
"type": "string"
},
"direction": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"cut",
"raise"
]
},
"limit": {
"type": "number"
}
