notes:
  - The /v1/tools/execute endpoint counts as a tool execution against either the standard or pro execution quota
    depending on the toolkit / tool tier.
  - The /v1/auth/authorize endpoint and end-user OAuth grant flow count as a user challenge.
  - Arcade-hosted MCP servers running 24/7 are billed per runtime hour above the Hobby tier.
