Costo de contexto
Este es el número aproximado de tokens que se consumen cada vez que las herramientas del servidor se cargan en el contexto de un modelo. Los recuentos más altos reducen la atención disponible para otras tareas.

Herramientas (9)
🟢get_pricing(slug, depth)
Full sourced pricing record for a software product: tiers, hidden costs, contract terms, market data, sentiment, negotiation tips, TCO scenarios, price history — every claim with its sources + a confidence/verification envelope.
Esquema de entrada
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Product slug, e.g. \"salesforce\""
},
"depth": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"summary",
"full"
],
"description": "summary = numbers+sources only"
}
},
"required": [
"slug"
]
}🟢get_hidden_costs(slug)
The documented hidden/implementation/add-on costs of a product (uplifts, onboarding fees, overages), each with a sourced quote + date. The "what they don't tell you" answer.

{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string"

}🟢get_negotiation_tips(slug)
Sourced negotiation tactics for a product with success-likelihood (how to get a discount).
Esquema de entrada
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"slug"
]
}🟢get_price_history(slug)
Dated per-quarter snapshots of a product's pricing page. Returns observations, NOT a trend figure — CostBench does not publish one, because diffing snapshots across renamed/restructured plan lineups is ~90% measurement artifact.

{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"slug"

}🟢compare_software(slugs)
Side-by-side pricing comparison of 2–4 products (starting price, enterprise tier, median annual cost, free tier, ratings).
Esquema de entrada
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slugs": {
"type": "array",

"type": "string"
},
"minItems": 2,

"required": [

}🟢discover_software(category, maxPrice, hasFreeTier, limit)
Find software products by criteria (category, max price, free tier). Returns matching slugs to look up.

}
}🟢calculate_tco(slug, seats, tier, termYears)
Total cost of ownership for a product and team size: sourced line items (licenses with price escalation, benchmark implementation), year-one + multi-year totals, effective per-seat cost. The defensible "true cost for an N-person team" answer.

{
"type": "object",

}🟢estimate_llm_cost(slug, model, inputTokens, outputTokens)
Estimate the cost of an LLM/API workload (input + output tokens) for a usage-priced provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock…) from its real rate card.

}🟢get_price_changes(slug, category, days, limit, include_suspect)
Recent software pricing changes CostBench detected against vendor pricing pages (increases, decreases, plan restructures) — dated, with before/after price bands and a source link. Filter by product slug, category, or lookback window. The "what changed lately" answer; each item links to the sourced record.

"type": "object",
"properties": {
"slug": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Only changes for this product"

"category": {
