Where the tokens are

tool tokens share description schema
convert_to_markdown 62 96.9% 18 31

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/markitdown/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.
