Use when the user wants strict control over token, credit, or context spend before the agent reads long materials, combines multiple sources, or produces large reports. Classify work into micro, standard, deep, or over-limit tasks; route model tier accordingly; prefer indexing and cached summaries over full-text reading; and default to token-saving mode unless the user explicitly approves deeper processing.
