In one line: tools cost context through their definitions and through their results. Subtract first, then defer rarely used tools behind tool search, then let the model write programs that call tools (PTC). Each step lays the groundwork for the next; measure at every step.
Companion skill: tool-budget-audit - measure what tools cost, then pick
between trimming, tool search and programmatic tool calling.
