Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
you-searchA

Search the web for current information, facts, news, and sources.

Best for: current events, facts about people, companies, and organizations, finding primary sources, verifying claims. Returns: ranked results with URLs and snippets — read them with you-contents before answering; snippets are not page content.

Query tips:

  • One intent per search, phrased naturally: "tariff exemptions for semiconductor imports 2026" — not a question, not a pile of synonyms.

  • Inline filters are mapped automatically: site:cdc.gov, lang:fr, loc:DE.

  • On zero results, don't repeat the query: drop exact-phrase ("quoted") constraints first, then widen — keep domain filters unless the domain itself was wrong. Or read the best prior result with you-contents.

you-discoverA

Discover AI agents, MCP servers, A2A agents, and skills via ARD Agent Finder services and the You.com catalog. Search-only — never installs or connects. Returns ranked results with relevance scores.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation4/5

you-discover targets agents/MCP servers/skills in a catalog, while you-search targets the open web — the descriptions make this boundary explicit. The only mild overlap is that both are 'search' operations returning ranked results, which could tempt misselection when an agent wants general discovery.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools use the same 'you-' prefix plus a lowercase action word in kebab-case (you-discover, you-search). No mixing of conventions, and the names are self-describing.

Tool Count3/5

Two tools is on the thin side for a search/discovery server, even a focused one. Given the descriptions reference a companion content-reading tool (you-contents), the surface feels intentionally trimmed rather than well-scoped.

Completeness2/5

Both descriptions instruct the agent to read results with 'you-contents', but that tool is absent from the set, creating a dead end for the core workflow of turning snippets into page content. Search and discovery are covered, but the advertised retrieval lifecycle is incomplete.
