list_models

Search the public AgentCost catalogue of LLM models and their per-1,000-token rates. Filter by provider and/or a substring of the model name. Use this to compare model costs or find a cheaper alternative. Returns rates in USD; no credentials required.

provider

Provider slug to filter by, e.g. openai, anthropic, google, aws, azure.

query

Case-insensitive substring to match against the model name, e.g. 'sonnet' or 'gpt-4'.

limit

Maximum models to return. Results are sorted cheapest-input-first.

get_model_pricing

Look up the per-1,000-token rates for a single named model. Resolves the name exactly, then case-insensitively, then by provider-prefixed suffix (so 'gpt-4o' finds 'azure/gpt-4o'). Use this when you already know which model you are pricing.

model*

Model name as the provider spells it, e.g. gpt-4o or claude-sonnet-4-6.

estimate_cost

Work out the USD cost of one or more LLM calls before making them, from the current catalogue. Give a model and the token counts involved. Use `calls` to price a whole job rather than a single call. Cached input tokens bill at the provider's cached rate when one is published and at the full input rate when it is not; the result reports which happened.

model*

Model name, e.g. gpt-4o.

input_tokens*

Prompt tokens per call.

output_tokens*

Completion tokens per call.

cached_input_tokens

Prompt tokens served from the provider's cache, per call.

cache_write_tokens

Tokens written into the prompt cache, per call.

calls

How many identical calls to price. Use this to cost a whole job.

list_model_deprecations

List models with an upstream-announced retirement date, soonest first. Use this to check whether a model a user depends on is being retired, or to avoid recommending one that is.

provider

Optional provider slug to filter by.
