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.

Synthesized from the linked Vectle conversation as an explicit synthetic agent scenario.
