Finding a tool

find_tool

Find the tool for a task across every skill, loaded or not, by saying what you want in English words. Each match carries the tool's command and parameters as a program sends them (snake_case; the tool takes the same names in camelCase), which is enough to call it through run_program without loading anything; pass enable to load the skills the matches live in so the tools can be called by name. Ask here before concluding that something has no tool.

Parameter Type Required Default Description
intent string yes — What you are trying to do, in English words: "ease the keyframes of a position", "add a drop shadow", "render the composition to a file".
limit integer — 8 Most tools to return, 1 to 25; 8 by default.
enable boolean — false Load the skills the matches live in, so their tools join the tool list; false by default, because the answer already carries what it takes to call them through run_program.
