How is the credit model calculated?

Each tool call consumes a fixed number of API credits per the manifest. Simple tools (hash, base64) cost 1 credit. Standard tools (WHOIS, DNS, IP lookup) cost 5–10 credits. Heavier tools (subdomain enumeration, DMARC RUA aggregation, propagation across 30+ resolvers) cost 25–100 credits. Your monthly credit pool refreshes on your billing anniversary; overage billing is opt-in and priced at $0.50–$2 per 1,000 credits depending on tier.
