How to Use
Always search first to discover exact tool names and their input schemas, then call the tool.
Step 1: Search for the tool
bash
agenco search-tools '{"queries":["slack send messages"]}'
The response includes toolName (exact name) and inputSchema (required/optional parameters).
Step 2: Call the tool
Use the exact toolName and match the inputSchema from the search results:
bash
agenco call-tool '{"toolName":"<toolName from search>","input":{...}}'
Example
bash
# Find the right tool
agenco search-tools '{"queries":["slack send messages"]}'
# Call it (use the exact toolName and schema from the search result)
agenco call-tool '{"toolName":"slack_send_messages","input":{...}}'
