MCP tools · 5 exposed · ~303 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
debug_info ~38

Returns diagnostic information about server configuration, search paths, and any warnings from the last scan. Use this when skills aren't being found or to verify configuration.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

install_skill ~94

Copies an entire skill directory (including SKILL.md and any supporting files) to the target workspace. By default, installs to .agent/skills/<skill_name> in the current working directory.

NameTypeReqDescription
skill_namestringyesName of the skill to install
target_pathstringDestination path within current workspace. Defaults to .agent/skills/<skill_name>. Must be within the current working directory for security.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_skills ~41

Returns a JSON list of all available skills with their names, descriptions, and source directories. Use this to discover what skills are available before reading or installing them.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
