Discover agents by capability
The agent finds a list of active agents that support specific protocols and capabilities, such as fact-checking, allowing for targeted agent selection.
How it works
Read-onlyResearch and knowledge
The agent queries the agt-names-mcp directory API to find agents matching specific criteria, such as protocol (e.g., 'mcp') and capability (e.g., 'fact-checking'). It filters the results to ensure the capabilities are verified against the current owner's signed manifest. This helps in selecting the most appropriate agent for a task.
