tools.find_for_task

Read-only

Find the best MCP tools for a given task. Describe what you want to accomplish (e.g. 'manage github issues', 'send slack messages', 'query a database') and get ranked results — each result is one (product, tool) pair, since same-named tools across providers are NOT interchangeable. By default only shows tools available via remote (network-hosted) servers. Audience: agent builders looking for installable MCP tools — for B2B SaaS recommendations, prefer products.search or products.find_by_capability. Ranking basis: relevance score desc (+1 per term hit, +3 for full-phrase hit); within an equal relevance tier, callable-now (Open access) + remote + healthy tools are boosted ahead — never a hard filter (a product-bound tool stays in its own money query), then productName. Paid tier is NOT a ranking input — it appears only as an annotation. Every result carries { position (1-based), rank (0..1; 1.0 = top, scales linearly down by ordinal position) } plus preflight annotations { accessModel (open|keyed|account|commercial), healthScore (0-100, nullable), readOnly, destructive, callableNow (true = usable anonymously right now), setup (one-line 'how to get access' pointer for non-Open tools) }. Response: { task, matchType (none|exactSlug|canonicalSlug|nlpFallback), resolvedCapabilities[], capabilityProducts[] (B2B SaaS products that claim the same capability — empty when matchType=none), results[] (MCP-tool-level matches), buckets { callableNow, requiresSetup } }. Each result: { position, rank, normalizedName, displayName, description, inputSchema, relevance, accessModel, healthScore, readOnly, destructive, callableNow, setup, productSlug, productName, serverQualifiedName, isRemoteCapable, tier, unverified, verifiedAt }. Empty case: { task, matchType, message, suggestedQueries[], suggestedCapabilities[] }.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond readOnlyHint and openWorldHint annotations, describes ranking logic, filtering, result structure, empty case, and preflight annotations in detail.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Long but well-structured, front-loaded with purpose and audience. All sentences are informative, though could be slightly more concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With output schema present, description still covers all aspects: ranking, filtering, results shape, empty case, and audience. Very complete for the tool's complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, description adds context like default values, filter meanings, and usage hints (e.g., 'Open tools are boosted'). Not all parameters need extra description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Explicitly states 'Find the best MCP tools for a given task' with detailed explanation. Distinguishes from siblings like products.search and products.find_by_capability.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit when-to-use (task description) and when-not-to-use (B2B SaaS recommendations refer to other tools) with alternative tool names.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

The namespace grouping separates products, tools, taxonomy, and rankings cleanly, and each tool's description points to its intended query mode. Some overlap exists between products.search and products.find_by_capability, and between tools.search and tools.find_for_task, but the descriptions are detailed enough that an agent can usually pick correctly. categories.list and directory.overview also overlap, though directory.overview is explicitly marked as the preferred entry-point.

Naming Consistency4/5

The set follows a predictable `resource.action` dotted convention, with all-lowercase names and snake_case within actions. Minor deviations such as `directory.overview`, `tools.changes`, and `mcp.score_server` mix noun actions and verb+object phrases, but the overall pattern remains readable and easy to guess.

Tool Count4/5

14 tools is appropriate for a read-only directory covering products, capabilities, rankings, MCP setup, and tool discovery. The count is slightly high because the search/find family has several close variants, but each variant has a distinct query style and use case.

Completeness5/5

The surface covers the domain thoroughly: taxonomy, product search and details, capability lookup, agent-readiness scoring, rankings, MCP setup, tool discovery, and schema-drift detection. Cross-references such as products.get_mcp_setup supplying the hash consumed by tools.changes close the main workflow loops without dead ends.
