> Material MCP endpoint execution or one REST `/api/v1/execute` request costs one credit, regardless of which upstream provider serves it. MCP `tools/list`, `search_tools`, category listers, `get_api_endpoint_schema`, `validate_task_result`, and REST `GET /api/v1/tools` do not consume execution credits.

## What counts as a credit?

One material endpoint execution costs one credit. The credit cost is the same whether the upstream provider is Alchemy, CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, GoPlus, CCXT, Helius, Hyperliquid, Open Data Fetch, Tenderly, Moralis, Hive Archive, RWA Perps, and whether the response is small or large. MCP `tools/list`, `search_tools`, category listers, `get_api_endpoint_schema`, `validate_task_result`, and REST `GET /api/v1/tools` are free discovery and validation paths; cache stable catalogs for latency even though they do not debit execution credits.
