Okta says identity-scoped Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool lists can reduce AI agent token costs. Each model call made by an AI agent can include schemas, names, descriptions and parameters for every tool exposed by a MCP server. Okta calls the resulting prompt overhead the âtool taxâ: tokens consumed as a model considers tools, including [âŚ] The post Okta targets AI agent token costs with MCP scoping appeared first on AI News.

There's a comfortable assumption behind a lot of "agent + knowledge base" work: garbage in, garbage out. Feed an agent a messy, stale, duplicate-ridden wiki and it'll confidently tell users the wrong thing. So we invest in dedup, freshness, clean ingestion â to stop the agent from hallucinating. I built a small testbed to measure that assumption, and it's wrong. Or rather: it's wrong about how bad ingest hurts, and the real answer is more interesting â and harder to catch. The setup I built a ti...
I created an open web resource for Software Engineers. https://loveyourclanker.org/ It highlights different patterns we can consciously choose use when interacting with our AI Coding tools (a.k.a 'Agents'... a.k.a 'Clankers') to stay in control, maintain quality and sensibly increase efficiency. I was prompted to do this (no pun intended) by observing some pretty alarming signals coming from this community. Token leaderboards, engineers being encouraged to use tools to "stay current" or "keep up...
Scheduled LLM curation is the least glamorous agent workload you run. A cron job wakes up at 3am, reads a pile of memory, asks a model to dedupe it, summarize it, re-rank it, and writes the result back. Nobody is watching. There's no chat window, no streaming tokens, no human to click a button. It just has to work, quietly, every night. That "nobody is watching" part is exactly what makes the cloud-versus-local decision harder than it looks. When you have a human in the loop, a failed API call t...
TL;DR â I've been building the Social Resource Floor: an open blueprint for coordinating one person's access to basic survival resources â food, housing, energy, healthcare, and more â across many independent providers, so that reaching those resources is grounded in being human rather than in financial access.

Short answer: for media support tickets that include an image, keep classification, policy enforcement, and tenant cost accounting as three separate steps. Send the image to a multimodal chat model with a strict JSON Schema, validate the returned object locally, and send invalid or uncertain cases to review. The fallback is a queue, not a guess. That design matters because a support agent is usually triaging a complaint, not publishing a photo. The same upload might be evidence of a violent broa...
