For API users and cost-conscious developers

Agents that retrieve, not reload

The agent re-tokenizes the same documents on every request. Most of your bill is the agent re-reading what it already saw last time.

Where your token budget goes

The hidden cost of context

Agents re-tokenize on every call

Every conversation, the agent receives the same documents fresh. That 200-page manual gets re-processed on every single request.

Bills scale with reloads, not work

Token costs grow faster than actual usage. Most of the bill is the agent re-reading what it already saw.

Forced summarization makes agents weaker

To save tokens, you summarize the context before handing it to the agent. Summaries are lossy. Important details drop. The agent gives worse answers.

No way to tell the agent it already knows

The same context, processed identically, charged again. There is no way to tell the model "you already know this, do not charge me for it again."

Process once, agent retrieves forever

Wire processes the contents of a container once and stores them efficiently. The agent queries what it needs through MCP, when it needs it. No re-tokenization. Targeted retrieval instead of full reload.

  • Free background analysis — no per-run charge
  • The agent receives only the relevant excerpts
  • Predictable, usage-based pricing
  • No lossy summarization needed

The math is simple

Without Wire

100 page doc ~50k tokens
10 conversations/day x10
30 days x30
Monthly token cost 15M tokens

With Wire

100 page doc ~50k tokens
Processed once x1
Query what you need ~2k/query
Monthly token cost ~650k tokens

That's a 95%+ reduction in context tokens

Common questions

How much can Wire reduce my token costs?
The reduction depends on usage. If you repeatedly send the same large documents across multiple conversations, Wire can reduce context tokens by 90%+. A 50k-token document sent across 10 daily conversations for a month totals 15M tokens. With Wire, the same access costs around 650k tokens.
Does Wire use prompt caching?
Wire reduces tokens at the retrieval layer. Agents receive only the relevant excerpts rather than entire documents. This compounds on top of any caching the model provider offers.
What does Wire charge for?
Wire charges credits for container storage (1 credit per 1,000 entries per day, capped at 100 credits per day), tool calls (1 credit for wire_explore and wire_navigate), wire_search (5 credits, hybrid retrieval), and file downloads (2 credits per resource read). Container creation, writes, deletes, file uploads, and background analysis are free.
Is there a cost to querying data after it is uploaded?
Tool calls cost 1 to 5 credits per query. There is also a small daily storage charge based on entry count (1 credit per 1,000 entries per day, capped at 100 credits per day per container).
How do I estimate my savings?
Multiply your current daily context tokens by 30 to get your monthly spend. Wire typically delivers the same context in 2 to 5% of the original tokens through targeted retrieval.
