//! Token budgeting for high-volume MCP tool responses.
//!
//! An agent can pass `max_tokens` to bound how many tokens a list-returning tool's
//! result list costs. The result list is already best-first (the tools rank as they
//! build), so budgeting is a keep-prefix-that-fits operation: walk the items in order,
//! sum each item's estimated token cost (serialized bytes / 4, the same factor the
//! telemetry estimator in [`super::savings`] uses), and drop the suffix once the running
//! total would exceed the budget.
//!
//! The budget bounds the RESULT LIST, not the whole response envelope — the surrounding
//! struct fields (`total`, `truncated`, cursors) are not counted. Truncation is always
//! explicit: the caller sets a `budgeted: bool` on the response and keeps `next_cursor`
//! working so the agent can page the dropped tail.
