Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Lyrenth MCP Tools (3)
read_url
The page as a clean AIDocument: a short provenance header (token count + how much smaller than raw HTML) plus the Markdown body. `fresh: true` forces a fresh fetch instead of the cached copy; `max_tokens` caps the body to your context budget, trimmed at a clean paragraph or sentence boundary.
read_urls
Up to 20 pages in one call, each as a clean AIDocument, with per-URL error isolation (a failed URL is reported and doesn't block the others). Billed one credit per successfully-read URL.
check_usage
Your plan tier, credits used against your monthly limit, credits remaining, and the reset date.
