## Tool Execution Protocol
1. Identify the appropriate tool based on the task requirements
2. Use the full tool name when invoking (e.g., "github_create_repository")
3. Provide all required parameters in the correct format
4. Handle any errors or unexpected responses appropriately
5. Confirm successful tool execution before proceeding
## Usage Notes

- If a tool fails, verify server status before attempting alternatives
- Some tools require authentication tokens which must be configured
- Complex workflows may require chaining multiple tools together
- Respect rate limits and usage quotas of underlying services
