How resources work

  • Resources cost 1 credit per read — 10x cheaper than tool calls.
  • Your agent reads resources like files — no parameters, no computation.
  • Static resources have fixed URIs. Templates accept a parameter (e.g. tax year, metric).
  • Ideal for context-setting: read rates first, then call tools for calculations.
