Control agent fan-out cost through deliberate model selection, bounded context, useful checkpoints and limits on nested consultations.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Fan-Out Cost Control Use when a parallel investigation's cost, context or nested work needs control. Agent count alone misses expensive consultations, inherited models and repeated context. A successful run can still exceed the intended budget. ## Choose the model and scale before launch Check the actual launcher: omitting its model option may inherit the parent's model. Setting reasoning effort alone does not necessarily select a cheaper model. Specify the intended model through supported controls; if the host forbids an override for a full-history fork, choose an allowed dispatch or report the limitation. Do not assume every host inherits identically. Before a substantial fan-out, state the model/tier, effort, planned count or ceiling, and purpose. Account for nested agents, external reviewers and consultations. Use efficient models for bounded extraction or formatting when appropriate, stronger ones where the uncertainty warrants them. Consult the current decision record before launching a search for an answer already settled there. …

How to install
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/fan-out-cost-control@sha256:e2dc49904fe6e8f8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
