> Adaptive Tool Discovery (ATD) Skill

Maps the capability surface of external tools, e.g. MCP servers, APIs, CLIs, and SDKs, so agents can invoke them correctly without repeated discovery. ATD produces a persistent tool capability registry usable by all agents and subagents on a team.

On larger teams, having every agent re-run tool discovery independently is wasteful and produces inconsistent results. ATD solves this by running discovery once, verifying tool behavior, and producing a shared registry that any agent can load.

ATD invokes Adaptive Conformance Specification (ACS) as its foundational observation and conformance layer.

• Discovery of available tools on a given surface
• Capability mapping: purpose, invocation, inputs, outputs, failures, constraints
• Production of a structured persistent capability registry
• Verification of tool behavior through execution
• Refresh protocol for keeping the registry current

• Codebase or team onboarding context. See adaptive-onboarding
• Observation and conformance discipline. Governed by [ACS](https://github.com/adaptive-interfaces/adap
