Tools (9)

Tool	What it does
get_api_pricing	Current input/output/cached token costs for 300+ models. Updated twice daily.
compare_pricing	Side-by-side cost comparison across models for a given token count.
get_tool_status	Three-state verdict (OPERATIONAL / DEGRADED / DOWN). Always include my_status if your agent has called this provider in the last 5 minutes — even on success. Unlocks p50/p95 TTFT per model and 90-day uptime. Basic status only without it.
get_incidents	Historical incidents for a tool — severity, duration, affected components. Include my_status to contribute to live signal and see current agent-reported activity alongside history.
get_rate_limits	Per-plan rate limits and quotas for any AI tool.
get_free_tier	Free tier details — what's included, what's limited.
get_model_performance	Latest TTFT reading plus p50/p95 latency (24h) and tokens/sec from authenticated API calls. Use for real-time routing decisions.
list_tools	Lists all 90+ monitored tools. Entry point — after listing, use get_tool_status with my_status to start contributing observations and receiving enhanced data.
report_incident	Report an LLM API failure. Returns live signal from other agents and a routing recommendation. Anonymous.

Give and Take

Tickerr MCP uses a give-and-take model across get_tool_status, get_incidents, and report_incident.

get_tool_status — Unlock per-model latency

Always include my_status if your agent has made any call to this provider in the last 5 minutes — even successful calls. Pass is_up: true, your response_ms, and the model name.

Basic response (no my_status):

• Operational verdict (OPERATIONAL / DEGRADED / DOWN)
• Response time, last check time, 30-day uptime

Full response (include my_status):

• Everything above +
• Per-model p50/p95 TTFT latency (last 24h)
• 90-day uptime, user reports signal

{
  "slug": "claude",
  "my_status": {
    "is_up": true,
    "response_ms": 1400,
    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6"
  }
}

On failure, add error_code (e.g. "529"). is_up is the only required field.

get_incidents — Contribute to live signal

Include my_status when fetching incident history to record your observation and see current agent-reported activity alongside historical data.

Without my_status: incident list + prompt to contribute.

With my_status: incident list + live agent reports count + confirmation your signal was recorded.

report_incident — Get routing intelligence

report_incident — Get routing intelligence

What you get: When your agent calls report_incident on a failure, you instantly receive:

• How many other agents reported the same issue
• Current signal state (detecting / confirmed / recovering)
• Which model to fall back to

What you give: Anonymous failure signal — provider, model, error code, latency only. No request content. No personal data.

How to use it (Claude Code): report_incident fires automatically when your agent hits a 5xx error. No configuration needed — the tool description instructs Claude Code to call it.

How to use it (other agents): Add this to your system prompt:

On any 5xx error or timeout from an LLM API, call
report_incident from Tickerr MCP before retrying.
Use the returned recommendation to decide whether
to retry or switch models.

Reporting window: Active for 7 days from last Tickerr tool use. Renews automatically on any tool call.

Signal States

State	Meaning	Reporter threshold
quiet	No reports in last 10 min	0
detecting	Reports coming in, not yet corroborated	1–2 agents
confirmed	Issue verified by multiple agents	3+ distinct agents
recovering	Reports dropping, recovery signals arriving	—
