manage-tools
Manage the ## External Tools section in AGENTS.md. This section lists the tools the agent should know about: agent skills that are invoked frequently, MCP servers connected to the project, and CLI tools the project depends on for non-obvious workflows.
Philosophy. Tools that are on-demand or obvious do not belong here. The agent already discovers most tools at runtime. This section is for tools that are shared team conventions — "when you need issue tracking, use gh", "when you need the database, use the postgres-readonly MCP" — that a new agent would otherwise miss.
Scope
In scope:
- Add/remove/refresh entries in
## External Tools - Auto-detect candidate tools from
.mcp.json,package.json,Brewfile,mise.toml,.tool-versions, and~/.claude/agents/ - Present candidates as a checklist (user opts in per item)
- Enforce the 3-category structure:
### Agent Skills,### MCP Servers,### CLIs - Drift detection on re-run: compare current section to detected tools and propose add/remove operations
Out of scope:
- Installing or configuring the tools themselves (this skill only documents them)
- Listing every installed dependency (only shared team conventions that the agent must know)
