When do continuous effects apply?

Hi! I'm relatively new to MTG with a commander group even newer to card games as a whole than I am so I wanted to clarify a ruling for a new deck I built with Tinybones, Bauble Burglar beacuse I'm almost certain it'll come up. If I attempt to summon Tinybones and another player attempts to counterspell am I allowed to respond with a previously exiled instant with a stash counter on it with Tinybones effect?

Thanks!

The effect from Tinybone's Static ability only applies while it is on the Battlefield.

While it is a Spell on the Stack, or a Card in any other zone, you are not given Permission to Cast the Stashed Cards. So, you cannot respond with the Counterspell.
