Context Cost
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.

}🟢search_places(keywords, geo, lang, minRating, limit, ...)
Find places by what they are and where they are, such as bakeries in Curitiba. Places we saved from earlier searches come back at once, for free. If they do not fill `limit`, a collection starts to find the rest and the answer includes it: each new place costs one credit as it arrives, and it stops at `limit`, so a search never costs more than `limit` credits. Search again later, or read the collection, to get the new ones; with `wait`, the answer waits up to 60 seconds for them. Needs an API key.

}🔴test_webhook(id, message)
Send a "ping" to one of your endpoints now, so you can check your code reads it and the signature checks out before a real collection depends on it. Answers straight away with the delivery; read the deliveries list a moment later to see what your server said. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

}🟢list_webhook_deliveries(id, limit)
What we sent to one endpoint, newest first: which event, whether it arrived, how many tries it took, and what your server answered. This is where to look when an event never showed up. Kept for 7 days. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.
