Context Cost

~2,568Tokens (tool definitions)
~1.8 KBTypical response size
Significant attention impact (2.01% 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.

🟢 Read-only🟡 Write🔴 Delete⚪ Unknown
🟢search(query, age_months, domain, limit)

Search the Pinnacle Ask child-development knowledge corpus (pinnacleblooms.org/ask) — real parent questions with clinically grounded, non-diagnostic answers covering speech, motor, social, cognitive, sensory, feeding and behavioural development from birth to 18 years. Returns ranked results with ids; pass a result id to `fetch` for the full answer. Optionally filter by child age in months and/or developmental domain.

🟢red_flags(topic, domain, age_months, limit)
