English(EN) MCP's Token Overhead: Why Agent Tool Protocols Burn 4-32x More Tokens Than CLI and How to Fix It

Agent 工具协议浪费 Token;CLI 更高效

MCP 这样的 Agent 工具协议在执行相同任务时,比命令行界面(CLI)消耗的 Token 要多得多,可能多达 4-32 倍。这是因为 MCP 在会话开始时将所有可用工具的完整 JSON schema 加载到 Agent 的上下文窗口中,占用了大量宝贵的上下文空间。解决方案包括修剪 schema 描述、分批加载工具、为简单工具使用混合 CLI 回退机制以及将工具聚类到单个端点下。 AI

影响 Agent 工具协议中低效的 Token 使用会增加成本并降低上下文窗口的有效性,可能阻碍 Agent 的性能和采用。
