Design and maintain a central catalogue of agent tools — versioning, capability tagging, and dynamic discovery for scalable agent systems.
Five passes over the same idea, each from a different angle. Do them in order, or jump to whichever you need.
As agent systems grow, ad-hoc tool lists become unmanageable. A tool registry is the answer: a centralised catalogue that stores tool schemas, versioning info, access controls, and capability tags. Agents query the registry to discover relevant tools at planning time rather than having everything hardcoded. This enables tool reuse across agents, governance, and graceful evolution.
