Claude Code handles large tool sets through deferred schema loading—tool schemas are fetched on demand when they match a query, preventing context window bloat. Other clients require tool filtering via the GCORE_TOOLS environment variable to reduce the number of exposed tools.

A Gcore API key with appropriate permissions is required. To get started, follow the installation guide.
