An MCP context budget turns tool definitions into a managed operating cost. Instead of loading every connected server into every agent run, teams decide which tool schemas belong in the task window.
Practical workflow
- Inventory connected MCP servers and their tool schema tokens.
- Classify tools by task intent, risk, and frequency.
- Route only the selected tools for the current task.
- Report saved tokens and denied calls after each run.
