Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.

Context Cost

~1,464Tokens (tool definitions)
~3.3 KBTypical response size
Moderate attention impact (1.14% 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.

🟢find_vm_sizes(min_vcpus, min_memory_gib, workload, region, os, ...)

Find the cheapest Azure VM sizes that meet vCPU, memory and workload requirements, with monthly USD list prices. Burstable (B-series) and confidential sizes are only included when that workload is requested.
