Local-model readiness
Schema context cost: ~4,904 tokens for 23 tools (23,014 bytes) · about 60% of an 8k context. Method: tiktoken cl100k_base over compact JSON of name+description+inputSchema (approximate).
Small-model friendly (schema heuristic, not a model result): low.
Small-model task runs: Not yet tested.
Not tested
We did not test behavior with real credentials, security, or performance under load. These are planned; see methodology.
