Agent management expert. ALWAYS invoke this skill when you need to list available agents, download or reference agent source code, deploy agent code to the host, or query the LLM connector matrix. Do not guess agent structures — use this skill first.
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
# Agent Tools
Five tools for managing agents on the host, called via bash.
## agent_list
List available agents. Returns ID, name, description, and capabilities for each agent.
```bash
tai tool agent_list '{}'
tai tool agent_list '{"namespace": "smith"}'
```
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-------------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `namespace` | string | no | Filter by namespace (e.g. `yao`, `smith`). Omit for all. |
## agent_download
Download a **smith-namespace** agent into the development directory for editing. **Restricted to `smith` namespace only** — for other agents, use `agent_reference`.
```bash
tai tool agent_download '{"id": "smith.weather"}'
```
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | string | yes | Agent ID in dot notation. Must be `smith.*`. |
Downloaded code lands in `agent-smith-dev/assistants/smith/<name>/`.
## agent_reference
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add yaoapp/yao/yao-agent@sha256:6831db744688e2bfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260513.da4a803, 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.
