Estimated gain +30 points

Add explicit identity and permission preflight tools

Expose machine-readable principal/tenant confirmation and a non-mutating permission check so agents can verify both before destructive actions.

Description evidence

Defects and rewrites.

4 defects found across the exposed tool descriptions. Suggested rewrites make purpose, inputs, boundaries, and returns easier for an agent to understand.

Tool Defect types Suggested rewrite
forage_evaluate
no_return_description
Get detailed information about a specific npm package — version, downloads, README summary, and install command. Use this before installing to verify quality. Returns a summary object with package metadata (version, weekly downloads, README excerpt, and the resolved install command).
forage_install
no_return_description
Install an MCP server and start it as a proxied subprocess. The server's tools become available immediately via Forage — no restart needed. IMPORTANT: Set confirm=true to proceed with installation (user will be prompted to approve the tool call). Returns the installation result, including the running server's status and the list of tools it now exposes through Forage.
forage_learn
no_return_description
Write usage instructions for an installed tool to agent rule files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules/) so the agent remembers how to use the tool in future sessions. Returns confirmation of the file path written and a summary of the rules recorded.
forage_uninstall
no_return_description
Remove a previously installed tool: stops its server process, removes it from the manifest, and cleans up related agent rules. Set confirm=true to proceed. Returns confirmation that the tool was removed and its server stopped.

Selection evidence

Confusable tool pairs.

2 pairs where similar names or overlapping descriptions may send an agent toward the wrong tool.

Tool A Tool B Confidence Why they collide
forage_install forage_uninstall medium Both take a tool/package identifier and a confirm flag with opposite lifecycle effects; a vague instruction like 'remove and reinstall X' or ambiguous phrasing could lead the agent to pick the wrong lifecycle action.
forage_learn forage_status low forage_status lists installed tools while forage_learn writes usage docs for one; a request like 'show me what's known about tool X' could plausibly be routed to either, though their outputs differ clearly enough to keep confusion low.
