Why not call them constants then?

Tokens is a really terrible name given the strong expectation that anyone with a computer science background has around the meaning of "token".

Yeah... auth tokens, resource tokens, rate limiting tokens, monetary tokens, LLM tokens, parser tokens, etc... you might as well name it "thing". It's about as bad as "node".
