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.

🟢pick_library(task, ecosystem)
Given a coding task, recommend 1-3 libraries from the should-i-use index with one-line reasoning and an honest warning about the top pick. Use before installing anything.

}
},

}🟢should_i_use(library)
Honest verdict on a specific library: 4-axis scores with reasons, when to skip it, and maintenance signals (last push, weekly downloads).
Esquema de entrada
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"library": {
"type": "string",

"answer": {

}
},
"required": [
"answer"
]
}🟢alternatives(library)
Curated alternatives to a library, each with a one-line "prefer it when" and a verdict if the alternative is also indexed.

]
}🟢how_do_i(library, task)
Return the 1-2 best code snippets for a task with a library, plus the gotcha for each. Snippets are correct for the indexed version. Far cheaper in tokens than a docs dump.

}🟢audit_dependencies(manifest, ecosystem)
Audit a project's dependencies for unmaintained packages, unstable APIs, and documented reasons to switch. Pass the contents of package.json, requirements.txt, or pyproject.toml. Returns only the dependencies worth a decision, not a report on every line. Run this before working in an unfamiliar codebase.

}🟢docs_link(library, topic)
Official docs URL and GitHub repo for a library, one line each. Use when the clamped answers are not enough.
