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.

Tool inventory
Tools (10)
🟢start_here(concern, age, state, insurance)
Best first action for a user describing a concern. Runs a parallel lookup across crisis screening, provider availability, and the article corpus, then returns the recommended path (crisis | evaluation | self-help | mixed) with concrete next steps. Optimized for the agent's first turn — a single call replaces 2-3 sequential lookups.

}🟢find_provider(state, appointment_type, concerns, preferred_approaches, insurance, ...)
The canonical 'find a clinician' tool. Returns providers who fit the filters, ranked best first by Emora's production matching algorithm (rankTherapist), ten at a time by default with no cap: use limit and offset to page, and total_candidates to see how many exist: each concern maps to weighted specialties; each provider's specialties score against that map; approach / language / rating / availability layer on top. Pass concerns[] for a clinical match; omit them for a logistical (availability + rating) ranking.
