System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that agents are not over-equipped with tools or MCP servers, reducing cognitive load and failure rates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Selective Tool Loading: Enables only the servers and tools currently in use, preventing cognitive overload.
  • Official Tool Preference: Encourages the use of official servers for tools, avoiding unnecessary speculation.
  • Logging for Writes: Adds logging for write-scoped servers to monitor and trace operations.
  • Use Case: When an agent underperforms or struggles with too many tools, this Skill helps identify the problem by reducing the number of tools and improving their clarity.

Quick Start

Add this Skill to any agent to automatically enforce the 'tool-restraint' principle.
