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.

🟢check_link_followability(page_url, target, user_agent)
Fetch a live web page and decide whether a link on it is followable by a crawler. Combines the X-Robots-Tag response header, the robots/user-agent meta tags, and the anchor's own rel tokens (nofollow, ugc, sponsored), with the most restrictive signal winning. Returns a verdict per matching anchor plus the exact reasons it was blocked. Use it to verify a backlink you were promised is actually followable.
