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.

🟢search_accidents(family, country, type, operator, from, ...)
Search the merged aviation-accident corpus (80+ official agencies, occurrence-level dedup). Filters: aircraft family slug (e.g. "boeing-737"), ISO alpha-2 country, occurrence type, operator substring, date range (from/to as YYYY-MM-DD), and fatal-only. Returns a page of occurrences with source-attribution links and a next_cursor for pagination.
