Academic Research Search
Academic research search across PubMed and arXiv
Should I use this
Quality & Safety
A
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
~382Tokens (tool definitions)
~1.1 KBTypical response size
Minimal attention impact (0.30% 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.
