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 →
search_agent_skills Search published Claude Code skills, plugins and marketplaces ~155
Search SkillWorks, an index of publicly published agent skills, plugins and skill marketplaces, ranked by installs and repository signal. Use before writing a skill from scratch to check whether one already exists, or when a user asks "is there a skill for X" / "what should I install for Y". Returns the install command for each result, so the answer is directly actionable.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | – | Filter to one of: skill, subagent, plugin, marketplace. |
| limit | number | – | How many to return, 1-10. Default 5. |
| q | string | yes | What the skill should do, in plain words. e.g. "pdf generation", "code review", "terraform". |
