What every tool call costs you in context, measured from your own transcripts.

Name

awtoll — What every tool call costs you in context, measured from your own transcripts.

The problem it solves

Every agent stack claims its search/graph/memory tool is cheaper than grepping and re-reading files. Nobody measures it. The claim lives in a README or a code comment, measured once during development and gated by nothing — so a tool can regress into costing MORE than what it replaced and every signal stays green, because a tool that returns less looks identical to a tool that saves you something.

Instead of trusting / you check

instead of trusting
that your tooling is saving you context
you check
the measured token cost of each tool call, and what the alternative cost

Adopt it alone

Point it at your agent transcripts and see what your ten most-used commands cost.

Install

pip install awtoll

It also judges whether the runner pool is big enough for the queue it is draining, and can ask a host to grow it -- reserving capacity is zero-sum, so a saturated pool needs more of it, not a different share of it.

The ecosystem this belongs to

Every Aitherium repository publishes an aither-manifest.json beside its page, and each surface reads all of them — so the network is browsable from any node in it.
