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.

⚪container_loading(container, unitLengthMm, unitWidthMm, unitHeightMm, unitWeightKg, ...)
Work out how many flat-pack units or panels fit in one 20ft (20GP) or 40ft high cube (40HQ) container. Returns units per layer, layers that fit the height, units limited by volume and by payload, the binding constraint, and the volume/payload utilisation. Use the packed size and weight of ONE unit. It does not estimate: if a dimension or the weight is missing it returns what is missing instead of a number.
