+- The MCP tools already return compact, readable text. If you instead call the underlying screenpipe REST API directly (e.g. via `curl`), the list endpoints (`/search`, `/elements`, `/frames/{id}/elements`) accept `?format=csv|tsv` for a columnar table (column names written once) and `?fields=a,b,c` to select only the columns you need (dotted paths like `content.text`). On list-shaped results that is roughly a 70% token cut versus the default JSON, which stays unchanged when neither param is set.
