## What counts as an MCP tool call

Each action an AI assistant asks Kaption to do (search chats, read a conversation, schedule a message, add a label) is one tool call. Listing the tools, connecting and staying connected do not count. A call that fails does not count. The week is a rolling 7 days. Over the limit, the assistant gets an error with a link to upgrade, and stays connected. Set-up: https://kaptionai.com/mcp/
