search_models

Search the downloadable model catalog to find checkpoints, LoRAs, VAEs, controlnets, and upscalers not yet installed. Filter by keyword and model type; each result indicates installation status.

Instructions

Search the downloadable model catalog — find checkpoints/LoRAs/VAEs/ controlnets/upscalers you may NOT have installed yet (the local equivalent of the cloud's model search). Reads ComfyUI-Manager's model list; each result shows whether it's already installed on THIS box.

Filter by keyword (name/filename/base/description) and optional model_type (checkpoint, lora, vae, controlnet, upscale, clip, diffusion_model, ...). Install one with install_model(name). Requires ComfyUI-Manager on the host.

This is a catalog of known models; list_models shows what a specific loader currently offers on disk (ground truth). Discover here, then verify against list_models after installing.

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses it reads ComfyUI-Manager's model list, shows installation status, and requires the add-on; no obvious undisclosed behaviors.

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?

Front-loaded purpose, efficient but slightly lengthy; every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers purpose, usage, parameters, prerequisites, and sibling relationship; output schema exists but not described, acceptable.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, description explains keyword filters (name/filename/base/description) and model_type with examples, compensating well.

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?

Clearly states it searches a downloadable model catalog for models not yet installed, lists specific model types (checkpoints, LoRAs, etc.), and distinguishes from list_models.

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?

Explicitly when to use (discover models) vs list_models (verify installation), and states prerequisite (ComfyUI-Manager).

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