get_model_prices
Get AI model API prices
Current per-token API prices for AI models, with context limits and official sources. The reviewed set (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) is human-reviewed and re-verified every few hours; the extended set (other providers) is parsed automatically from official pricing pages and marked verification "automated-page-parse". Only rows with state "current" have a confirmed price; held or expired rows show none.
