awtoll

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

The problem

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

that your tooling is saving you context

you check

the measured token cost of each tool call, and what the alternative cost

Adopt it

pip install awtoll

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

Pairs with

awgraph awgit awdk

Pairing is composition, never dependency — awtoll installs and runs on its own.
