      "Excerpt": "With a more recent update of Antigravity Google is enforcing the 50 tool limit for the internal agent by forcing the deactivation of servers. jDocMunch itself is over that limit with its 53 tools. Currently jCodeMunch has 30 tools, jDocMunch has 53 tools, and jDataMunch has 26 tools. This is clearly over the 50 tool limit. I was looking through the tools for the three MCP servers and there are some similar tools, but I couldn't find enough to reduce the number of tool from 109 to 50 or less. \n\nS",

This deliberately tests jCodeMunch on unfavorable terrain to establish a **worst-case token overhead ceiling**.\n\nTwo enforcement levels were tested:\n- **Hard enforcement (25 pairs):** Platform-level tool restrictions via custom Claude Code agent types.
