# MCP relevance-budget workflow

A staged tool-discovery routine that protects context and reduces selection errors.

## Procedure

1. State the intent before loading a catalog.
2. Search only the relevant capability family.
3. Read the exact schema for the chosen tool.
4. Call one tool with the minimum necessary inputs.
5. Reassess before expanding discovery.

## Verification

Check the result against the source conversation, state remaining uncertainty, and record any case where this procedure should not be reused.
