tools SKILL.md skillA

tools from skillberry-ai/cap-evolve is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add skillberry-ai/cap-evolve/tools@git:20261015.ac1f1f4

Pins git:20261015.ac1f1f4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Optimize an agent's OWN tool surface (tools it implements, not an external MCP server). Use when the agent mis-selects tools, fills arguments wrong, calls the same tool N times in a row, or has a confusing, redundant, or oversized toolset. Covers tool names and descriptions, parameter docs, tool schemas, handler code, function-calling accuracy, and adding or removing tools.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Capability: tools (full control)

This capability treats the agent's **entire tool surface as the optimizable
artifact**. It applies when the agent *owns* its tools — it implements the handlers,
defines the wire schema, and controls every caller — so names, descriptions,
parameter docs, in-description examples, the JSON Schema, *and the implementation
code* are all fair game. (When the tools come from an external server you can only
re-describe, not re-implement: that is `mcp-tool`, whose policy is tightened to
documentation-only edits.)

## What you can change here

**The tool's documentation AND its return value are what the agent SEES — make both
clear and recovery-oriented.** The doc surface (description, important-notes,
per-param, error/`Raises` text, examples) drives *which* tool the model calls and
*how* it fills the arguments; the return value (and especially the error text) steers
the *next* turn. Confirm which parts of a docstring your runtime actually SENDS before
writing into it — some frameworks discard whole sections, and guidance written into
that void does nothing (`references/field-notes.md` §1).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skillberry-ai/cap-evolve/tools@sha256:d6a5ec65e46113a6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.ac1f1f4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
