SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify whether the correct tooling for a given process step is available and provide actionable guidance when it is not, preventing agents from failing due to missing CLIs, MCP servers, or API configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tool Identification: Map requirements (e.g., database query, web search, custom CLI) to the appropriate tool or built-in capability.
  • Availability Verification: Check agent capabilities, perform system path checks for CLIs, and validate MCP server configuration before use.
  • Setup Guidance & Alternatives: Return clear setup instructions when a tool needs configuration or suggest alternatives when a tool is unavailable.

Quick Start

Ask the tool-finder to check availability of psql and return its path or setup instructions if missing.

Frequently Asked Questions about tool-finder

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify CLI tool availability before running automation workflows?▼

Verify CLI tool availability by performing system path checks and validating configurations. This process checks your execution environment to return availability status, setup instructions, or suggested alternatives for missing commands like psql.

How do I check if an MCP server is configured for my agent?▼

Check MCP server configuration by validating the server setup within your agent capabilities. This verification process ensures required external APIs and custom commands are properly configured before execution, returning actionable setup guidance if missing.

What's the best way to find the right tool for a specific development task?▼

Find the right tool by mapping process requirements like database queries or web searches to appropriate built-in capabilities, custom CLIs, or external APIs. This identification process matches your specific needs to available tools in the current environment.

Can I use this tool discovery process for custom CLI commands?▼

Yes, tool discovery supports custom CLI commands by performing system path checks to validate availability. It checks agent capabilities and returns availability status, setup instructions, or suggested alternatives for project-specific commands.

Why does my automation workflow fail when assigning built-in capabilities?▼

Automation workflows fail when built-in capabilities, CLIs, or MCP servers are missing or improperly configured. Tool availability verification prevents these failures by checking agent capabilities and environment paths before execution, providing setup guidance instead.

Do I need to validate MCP configuration before using external APIs in agents?▼

Yes, validate MCP configuration before using external APIs to ensure servers are properly set up. This verification checks agent capabilities and MCP server availability, returning setup instructions or alternatives when configuration is incomplete.
