Discover actual tool schemas and account permissions first; named Space tools and job operations are examples, not guaranteed installed functions. Popularity/downloads are discovery signals, not evidence of task quality or safety. Review model/data/code licenses, revision and gated terms before use. Space invocation uploads input to its operator; show destination/payload/retention and obtain authorization for private media or paid compute. Jobs need a bounded runtime/cost, reviewed pinned image/dependency/script inputs, scoped secret references and a cancellation path; status/logs must confirm the actual job. A request to search does not authorize model execution, downloads, jobs or recurring schedules.
