The token cost of a report is lower bounded by the number of tokens in the report * price per token of the cheapest model. The token cost of a good report is much higher, but sifting out the good reports is the entire problem.

In theory, yes, but are you actually seeing clearly-garbage lower-bound reports like this?

The ones we're seeing show clear evidence of being AI-generated, are often incorrect or duplicated, but they also show clear evidence of the AI having done its homework and spent a while crawling our API.

Even if we were getting reports at the lower bound you're describing, those would be even easier to triage: just add a quick step to check if the API in question even exists, then if it does that very cheap "where is this API" query becomes part of the input to the second-level triage that spends more tokens.
