What uses tokens
- Never: reading, searching, listing, and saving what you or your AI already wrote (a contact, a listing draft, a context answer). The context interview never counts.
- Yes: work that asks Earth Care Network’s AI to write — article topics and drafts, a newsletter from a brief, a campaign phase, a design from a website, AI steps in an automation.
The limits
A refused action is refused at preflight, before a provider is called, so a
blocked action costs nothing. There is never a silent overage charge.
