## Description

The Token Budget Allocator provides precise, deterministic token distribution across multi-agent pipelines. It uses a weighted proportional distribution combined with the largest-remainder method to ensure every token is accounted for without rounding bias. Use `allocate_budget` to split total tokens based on role priority, `analyze_utilization` to monitor context window usage, and `get_pipeline_checkpoints` to track cumulative consumption and remaining budget at each stage of the pipeline.

## Tools

### allocate_budget
Calculates the exact integer token distribution for all agents in the pipeline

### analyze_utilization
Evaluates how the allocated budget fits within the physical constraints of the models being used

### get_pipeline_checkpoints
Provides a step-by-step view of token consumption as the pipeline executes

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Allocate 100,000 tokens for a pipeline with roles: planner (weight 3), researcher (weight 2), and coder (weight 5).
```

**Response:** 
```
The allocation is: planner: 30,000 tokens, researcher: 20,000 tokens, and coder: 50,000 tokens.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if an allocation of 4000 tokens for a 'coder' role is safe if the model max context is 8192.
```

**Response:** 
```
The utilization rate for the coder is 0.4875, which is well within the 8192 token limit.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the remaining budget after the first agent in a 50,000 token pipeline where the planner gets 10,000 tokens?
```

**Response:** 
```
After the planner executes, 40,000 tokens remain in the budget.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool handle rounding errors?**
The tool uses the largest-remainder method. It first assigns the floor of the proportional allocation to each agent and then distributes the remaining tokens to those with the largest fractional parts.

**Can I detect if an agent has too few tokens?**
Yes, by using `allocate_budget` with the `minimumViable` parameter, the tool will return a flag if any agent's allocation falls below your specified threshold.

**How do I track token usage during execution?**
You can use `get_pipeline_checkpoints` to see a step-by-step breakdown of consumed tokens and the remaining budget after each agent in the sequence.
