Subagent-tax 0.3 update corrects billing model, revealing significantly higher token costs
Developer hahahahahahahahah6 released version 0.3 of the subagent-tax auditing tool, which corrects a flawed billing calculation. The previous version undercounted token usage by only charging for a fixed preamble once per task, rather than on every API call and subagent spawn. Real-world data showed the old model underestimated costs by a factor of three, with subagents consuming nearly half of all tokens in one analysis. The update introduces a detailed billing ledger and shares its framework with the related mcp-tax auditing tool. The Python package is available on PyPI under an MIT license.
