# Text statistics
## When to run
The user asks how many words or characters a passage has, or how long it takes
to read.
## How to answer
1. Take the text the user provided (or asks about).
2. Call the in-bundle engine's tool for the metric requested:
- `word_count` for a word total.
- `char_count` for a character total (pass `include_whitespace: false` to
exclude spaces).
- `reading_time_minutes` for an estimated read time at 200 wpm.
3. Report the number plainly, naming the metric and the text it applies to.
## Notes
The engine runs as an in-bundle stdio MCP server (`scripts/engine_server.py`,
declared in `.mcp.json`). The harness spawns it as a subprocess; there is no
network service and nothing to provision. See this bundle's README for when to
prefer this shape over a CLI subprocess.
