Findings (1)
- LOWTool 'kata_diagnose_web_interop' suggests web access but openWorldHint=falsein kata_diagnose_web_interop
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
~1,328Tokens (tool definitions)
~1.4 KBTypical response size
Moderate attention impact (1.04% of 128k context)
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.
