# The guarantees come from the code, not the copy

How the gateway is actually built, and where to see each guarantee on your own workspace rather than just read about it.

## Exact price basis, quoted before you run

inspect returns the exact price basis for an operation; run returns the quoted price before it executes. The number you see is the number you get charged, settled after the fact against the real cost.

## Nothing silently retried, nothing silently charged twice

A run that ends in an uncertain state is checked, not blindly retried. looot never charges twice for one effect.

## Six tools, however large the catalog gets

The MCP tool surface stays fixed at six tools no matter how many providers or operations get added underneath.

## One taxonomy, five levels, no shortcuts

Every operation is classified under one capability taxonomy, five levels deep, so discovery works by what you're trying to do, not by memorizing vendor names.
