What is a token?
A token is the atomic unit of text an AI model reads and writes: roughly 4 characters, or about ¾ of a word. Models bill per token in and per token out, so it’s the natural unit for metering content. We extend the same idea to the source content we retrieve for you (grounding tokens): the content fed to the model as context to answer a query. Bigdata Services meters three types of tokens:- Content Retrieval
- Agent Models
- Private Content Storage
Bigdata brings together a range of sources under one roof: web content, premium news and other premium content, and structured data such as market data and fund holdings.
- Check out the Bigdata Store for the full catalog of sources available via the App, API, and MCP connectors.
What type of tokens does the official Bigdata MCP Connector consume?
What type of tokens does the official Bigdata MCP Connector consume?
The tool
bigdata_upload_document consumes Private Content Storage tokens because it uploads a file, enriches it, and indexes it.All the other tools like bigdata_search retrieve documents or insights from your proprietary content, the Knowledge Graph of indexed content from our licensed providers, and therefore consume Content Retrieval tokens.The Bigdata MCP connector does not consume Agent Models tokens because it does not interact with the Research Agent or Bigdata Workflows. In the future, you will be able to create workflows, and trigger them.
