19
+ **See how many tokens your agent tools burn before the user even asks a question.**
20
+
21
+ `tool-tax` scans MCP-style tool catalogs, JSON/YAML tool manifests, and OpenAPI
22
+ files. It shows the full schema cost, ranks the heaviest tools, diffs catalog
23
+ changes in pull requests, and writes a slim tool index for progressive loading.
24
+
25
+ ```bash
26
+ pipx install git+https://github.com/SihyeonJeon/tool-tax.git@v0.2.0
27
+
28
+ tool-tax scan examples
29
+ tool-tax diff old-tools.json new-tools.json
30
+ tool-tax pack examples --out .tool-tax
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ Example result:
34
+
35
+ ```text
36
+ Tools: 7
37
+ Full tool tax: 1,144 est. tokens
38
+ Slim index: 309 est. tokens
39
+ Potential savings: 835 est. tokens (73.0%)
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ ## Why
43
+
44
+ Agents keep getting more tools. MCP servers, browser tools, GitHub tools,
45
+ database tools, and internal APIs all ship long schemas. If every schema is
46
+ loaded up front, your agent pays a context tax before it starts working.
47
+
48
+ `tool-tax` gives that tax a number.
49
+
50
+ ## What It Does
51
+
52
+ - Finds tool definitions in JSON, YAML, and OpenAPI files.
53
+ - Estimates token cost for each tool schema.
54
+ - Ranks the most expensive tools.
55
+ - Diffs base/head catalogs for PR budget checks.
56
+ - Generates a slim `tool-index.json` plus separate schema files.
57
+ - Fails CI when the tool catalog grows past a budget.
58
+ - Posts or updates a GitHub PR report comment when configured.
59
+
60
+ ## Install
61
+
62
+ From GitHub:
63
+
64
+ ```bash
65
+ pipx install git+https://github.com/SihyeonJeon/tool-tax.git@v0.2.0
66
+ ```
67
+
68
+ From a clone:
69
+
70
+ ```bash
71
+ git clone https://github.com/SihyeonJeon/tool-tax.git
72
+ cd tool-tax
73
+ python3 -m pip install -e .
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ Installs one runtime dependency: `PyYAML`.
77
+
78
+ ## Use
79
+
80
+ Scan a repo:
81
+
82
+ ```bash
83
+ tool-tax scan .
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ Write Markdown and JSON reports:
87
+
88
+ ```bash
89
+ tool-tax scan examples --format md --out tool-tax-report.md
90
+ tool-tax scan examples --format json --out tool-tax-report.json
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ Create a progressive-loading pack:
94
+
95
+ ```bash
96
+ tool-tax pack examples --out .tool-tax
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ That writes:
100
+
101
+ ```text
102
+ .tool-tax/
103
+ tool-index.json # small always-load index
104
+ schemas/*.json # full schemas loaded only when needed
105
+ ```
106
+
107
+ Fail CI on tool bloat:
108
+
109
+ ```bash
110
+ tool-tax scan mcp-tools.json --max-tokens 12000 --max-tool-tokens 750
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ Compare a pull request:
114
+
115
+ ```bash
116
+ tool-tax diff base-tools.json head-tools.json --max-delta-tokens 500
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ Use it as a GitHub Action:
120
+
121
+ ```yaml
122
+ - uses: SihyeonJeon/tool-tax@v0.2.0
123
+ with:
124
+ path: .
125
+ max-tokens: "12000"
126
+ max-tool-tokens: "750"
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ ## Output
130
+
131
+ ```md
132
+ # Tool Tax Report

137

138

140
+ | Slim index | 309 est. tokens |
141
+ | Potential savings | 835 est. tokens (73.0%) |
142
+ | Worst tool | 255 est. tokens |
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ ## Supports
146
+
147
+ - MCP-style JSON/YAML tool arrays
148
+ - Agent tool manifests with `name`, `description`, and `inputSchema`
149
+ - OpenAPI `paths` operations
150
+ - Nested JSON catalogs
151
+ - GitHub Step Summary and PR comment reports
152
+
153
+ ## Repo Shape
154
+
155
+ ```text
156
+ src/tool_tax/ # library + CLI
157
+ tests/ # unittest smoke coverage
158
+ examples/ # sample MCP/OpenAPI catalogs and reports
159
+ docs/ # trend scan and repo structure notes
160
+ ```
161
+
162
+ ## Claim
163
+
164
+ This tool does not compress prompts by itself. It measures the up-front schema
165
+ tax and creates a smaller index so your agent can load full schemas later.
166
+
167
+ It is the measuring tape and CI gate, not a runtime MCP proxy. Use it before or
168
+ alongside proxy/search tools such as MCP compressors, CLI adapters, and
169
+ progressive-disclosure gateways.
