Where the tokens are

tool tokens share description schema
maps_distance_matrix 124 22.6% 10 102
maps_directions 99 18.0% 5 82
maps_search_places 95 17.3% 7 76
maps_elevation 78 14.2% 8 58
maps_reverse_geocode 56 10.2% 5 38
maps_place_details 50 9.1% 7 31
maps_geocode 45 8.2% 6 27

Each tool is tokenized on its own, so the parts do not sum exactly to the whole: the array adds its own brackets and commas, and the tokenizer merges tokens across object boundaries. The badge number is always the count of the whole array, never a sum of parts.

Re-derive it

npx -y mcp-context-cost verify results/google-maps/measurement.json

That re-tokenizes the published capture and checks the count and the hash. If it disagrees with the badge, the badge is wrong — open an issue and it gets corrected.
