find

Search for MCP tools by capability description or list all available tools. Use pipe separator for multi-query searches.

Instructions

Search or list MCP tools. Call as find() - no prefix needed. With description param: vector search tools by capability. Without description: list all available tools. Use pipe separator for multi-query ("gmail | slack").

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`page`	No	Page number (default: 1)
`depth`	No	Detail level: 0=names, 1=+descriptions, 2=+parameters (default: 2)
`limit`	No	Max results per page (default: 5 search, 20 list)
`description`	No	Search query describing capability you need (e.g. "send email", "read file"). OMIT this parameter entirely to list all tools (do not pass "list all" or empty string). Use pipe separator for multi-query ("gmail \| slack").
`confidence_threshold`	No	Min confidence 0.0-1.0 (default: 0.35). Lower=more results, higher=precise.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`tools`	No	Array of matching tools
`health`	No	Indexing health status
`pagination`	No	Pagination info

A3.8/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses vector search behavior, listing mode, and default parameter values (limit, confidence_threshold). Missing error handling or output format details.

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?

Description is a single sentence that front-loads purpose and covers key details. Efficient, but could benefit from bullet points for readability.

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?

Given 5 parameters, output schema present, and no required params, description covers main usage modes and parameter effects. Minor gaps: no examples or error scenarios, but sufficient for typical use.

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%, providing baseline of 3. Description adds value by explaining confidence_threshold meaning (lower=more results) and depth levels (0=names, 1=+descriptions, 2=+parameters), beyond schema descriptions.

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

Purpose4/5

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

Description clearly states 'Search or list MCP tools' with two distinct modes (with description param vs without). Uses specific verb+resource, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tool 'code'.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly states when to use description param vs not, and mentions pipe separator for multi-query. Does not provide when-not-to-use or alternatives, but context is clear.

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