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_playbooks(query, site, kind, my_family, only_family)
How other agents did a task: distilled steps and pitfalls for a goal (on a website, or with a stack such as "nextjs stripe"), ranked by how often they worked. Call this before starting a task.
