List OpenRouter models available for delegation with their prices and context windows, plus the current delegation policy, credit balance, and the environment a delegated session receives. OpenRouter serves several hundred models, so results are filtered to tool-capable ones and truncated -- pass filter to search by name and limit to see more. Use this to pick a model, to check the balance before delegating, or to report the configuration when the user asks about it.

These settings are user-controlled. There is no tool to change them: if the user wants a different delegation mode, model policy, or API key, tell them to run openrouter-mcp-config in a terminal and restart the session. Do not edit the config files yourself.

Default: deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731.

Start a headless Claude Code session backed by an OpenRouter model and return immediately with a job_id. It runs in its own process with its own environment, so your Anthropic credentials and model settings are untouched. Poll with delegate_status, collect with delegate_result, and continue the conversation with delegate_followup. Pass prompt_file for long prompts.

Default: deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731.

WHEN TO USE -- ON EXPLICIT REQUEST ONLY. Delegation mode is "ondemand". Call this only when the user actually asks for it: "delegate this", "use openrouter", "ask gemini", "run this on a cheaper model", or when they name an OpenRouter model. If the user has not asked for delegation, do the work yourself and do not offer this tool unprompted.

COSTS REAL MONEY. Each delegated turn is billed to the user's OpenRouter credits, and every request carries Claude Code's full system prompt and tool schema (tens of thousands of input tokens), so even a short task is not free. Do not delegate speculatively, do not retry a failed delegation repeatedly without changing something, and prefer one well-specified task over several exploratory ones. Reported costs are estimates from list prices; the authoritative figure is on openrouter.ai/activity.

This policy is set by the user and is not yours to change. If it is getting in the way, say so and let the user run openrouter-mcp-config; do not edit config files to widen it.

Send another message to an existing delegated session, resuming its full conversation history. Identify it by job_id (any turn) or session_id. Returns a new job_id for this turn while keeping the same session_id, so you can go back and forth with the delegate.

Note that resuming replays the whole conversation as input tokens, so a long thread costs more per turn than a fresh one -- but still far less than re-establishing the same context from scratch.

Only continue conversations the user asked you to start.

Report whether a delegated job is still running, plus a tail of what the session has been doing -- its actual tool calls and partial text. Optionally block until it finishes. Use the tool-call trace to check that a delegate really did the work it claims.

Return the final text produced by a delegated session, with its token usage, estimated cost and session_id for follow-ups. Blocks until the job finishes if you pass wait_seconds.

Terminate a running delegated session and everything it started. Also stops it spending any more of the user's OpenRouter credits.

Show delegated jobs from this server's lifetime, newest first, grouped by conversation, with the estimated total spend.
