 ## Token-Efficient Design
 
-- **Opt-in Surface**: 31 core tools cost ≈7.9k tokens of `tools/list`, all 60 cost ≈14.9k; specialized groups (audits, visual, network, storage, dom, files) are opt-in via `--caps`. That core figure was ≈3.8k in 1.8.0 and roughly doubled in 1.10.0: MCP annotations on every tool, rewritten descriptions, and a documented `.describe()` on all 254 parameters (coverage went from 35% to 100%). The trade is deliberate and it is not free — on the form benchmark it adds ≈8% to the cache-read tokens per turn — but the measured advantage was never prefix size, it was round trips: 2.75× fewer turns. Playwright MCP's 23 core tools measured ≈4.6k in July 2026, so on prefix size alone it is the leaner one. Measure ours with `npm run measure`.

 - **Act-from-Result**: Tools attach a capped preview of interactive elements with short refs. Actions only report a `page_changed` delta when the URL or title actually changes.
 - **Optimized Media**: Screenshots are downscaled to ≤1568px. Full-page captures are sliced into readable segments.
 - **Payload Escape Hatches**: `save_to` on `read_page`, `extract`, `screenshot` and `http_request` writes the result to a file and returns the path — the bytes never enter the context unless the agent decides to read them. `read_page(mode="markdown")` keeps headings, links and tables at a fraction of the HTML cost. The [CLI](#cli) skips MCP schemas entirely, and recorded flows [replay](#launch-mode-headless--ci) without any model in the loop.
