Server tool list (5)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| measure_traffic | Measure how much of your own agent traffic could be saved. NO ACCOUNT OR KEY NEEDED — use this first. Returns byte savings over the wire and, if a query is given, token savings from selective context retrieval. Nothing is stored: the text is compressed in memory and discarded. Rate limited to 20 calls per hour per IP. |
| list_packages | List the available dictionaries with their MEASURED compression, including the ones that perform badly. Each entry says whether it works one message at a time or only batched, and how many messages came out LARGER. No key needed. |
| remember | Store a memory entry for later retrieval. REQUIRES A KEY. This does not call any language model — it stores text in an isolated per-tenant archive. Use assemble_context to get relevant entries back. |
| assemble_context | Retrieve the memory entries that answer a question, within a token budget. REQUIRES A KEY. Send the returned 'context' to your language model INSTEAD of the whole history. This does not call a model itself — it selects what to send. The budget is a ceiling, not a target: selection stops where relevance runs out, often well below it. The response says how many entries were left behind and why. |
| get_account | Get an account and an API key. Requires an email address. The key is returned ONCE and cannot be shown again — store it immediately. Beta quotas are low by design; they are hard stops, never overage billing. |
