High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync and update tools after creating new ones?▼

To sync and update tools after creating new ones, trigger a programmatic refresh that rescans tool directories. This synchronizes the internal catalog so new or modified tools immediately become discoverable in the agent's command palette.

Why does my newly added tool not appear in the command palette?▼

A newly added tool does not appear in the command palette because the internal catalog is cached. Running an on-demand refresh updates the tool index, detecting the new tools and adding them to the available command list.

When do I need to run a tool manager refresh?▼

You need to run a tool manager refresh whenever you create or modify tools. This ensures ongoing tool availability during sessions by reloading the updated tool set into the internal catalog for immediate access.

What is the best way to make a new integration instantly available to the agent?▼

The best way to make a new integration instantly available is to execute a tool availability refresh. This updates the tool manager's index, synchronizing the internal catalog so the new integration is discoverable without restarting.

Can I use scripts to automate tool availability updates during a session?▼

Yes, you can use scripts to automate tool availability updates. The skill supports on-demand refresh by triggering the tool manager to rescan directories and update internal catalogs, ensuring ongoing availability during active sessions.

Are there limitations to refreshing tools during an active session?▼

The refresh process requires triggering the tool manager to rescan directories and update internal catalogs. It applies specifically when you create or modify tools, ensuring the updated tool set is discoverable by the agent in its command palette.
