Credit Costs
Section titled “Credit Costs”| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Container storage | 1 credit per 1,000 entries per day, capped at 100 credits/day per container |
wire_explore, wire_navigate | 1 credit per call |
wire_search (hybrid retrieval) | 5 credits per call |
File download (MCP resources/read) | 2 credits per fetch |
wire_write, wire_delete, file uploads, container creation, background analysis | Free |
Storage is metered once per day at midnight UTC. Empty containers (zero entries) charge nothing. The 100 cr/day cap is a pricing ceiling. Containers can grow past that without the daily charge increasing further.
File Limits

|---|---|
| Maximum file size | 25 MB |

Section titled “Container Limits”| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum storage per container | 5 GB |
Organization Limits
Section titled “Organization Limits”| Limit | Value |

Ephemeral Container Limits
Section titled “Ephemeral Container Limits”Ephemeral containers are created via instant onboarding without an account.
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Container lifetime | 7 days |
| Starter credits | 3,000 |
| Containers per anonymous session | 1 |
Ephemeral containers receive the same 3,000 starter credits as any new organization. Once those credits are spent, MCP and API calls return 402 (the paywall) until the container is claimed and moved to an organization with a funded balance. Background analysis is free and continues to run; it’s the read tools and daily storage charges that draw down the balance.
After 7 days, unclaimed ephemeral containers and their associated anonymous accounts are automatically deleted. Claim your container before then to keep it permanently.
