> One credit equals one tool call (one MCP `tools/call` invocation or one REST `/api/v1/execute` request), regardless of which upstream provider serves it. Discovery calls (`tools/list`, `GET /api/v1/tools`) are free and do not consume credits.

## What counts as a credit?

One credit equals one tool call. The credit cost is the same whether the upstream provider is CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, GoPlus, Codex (Defined.fi), CCXT, GoldRush (Covalent), Helius, Tenderly, Moralis, and whether the response is small or large. Discovery calls (`tools/list`, `GET /api/v1/tools`) are free.
