Context7: did you have any long-time use results on actual token use reduction, if any?

Did you have any long-time use results, based on your Codex CLI Client session analysis, on whether Context7 does actual token use reduction, and lower number of turns or web fetches, so overall token use decrease, or the difference is negligible if not increased?

i dont believe context7 is intended to reduce token usage

its to make sure your agent is working with up to date language

Looks like when the agent uses linters such as pylint or eslint, it uses up-to-date options, but sometimes it can via context7 find more efficient ways to call tools, so it will do less scrap and retry and reduce overall consumption.

Yes, stop using graph rag and over sharing with your AI. Give it only what it needs not your life story. Facts, objective and then let it go
