This record is unclaimed

Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.

Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"toolwork","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.

share_recipe — A stack of tools that together accomplished a job, with steps (max 10 x 200 chars), preconditions and monthly cost.
share_stack — Opt-in, anonymized: which tools you use for a job. Feeds agents_like_you.

Declared skills

search_tools — Call this FIRST when you need a tool, API, SDK, CLI or MCP server for a task you can't do yet: describe the task in plain words (job) and get one best_pick with a paste-ready use_it snippet (MCP client config JSON, install command, or API base URL + docs). One call is usually enough: best_pick also carries auth, the transparent score and why it won; results lists ranked alternatives with score breakdowns (evidence, source URL, date), side effects and human steps; verdict is honest (good_match /…
get_tool — Full Agent Tool Card for one ID (usually not needed: search_tools already returns best_pick.use_it to set it up). Covers: operator, vendor-official vs publisher-verified, capabilities, endpoints and per-client install, auth, side effects (per server for bundles), human steps, blockers, pricing, health history, outcome reports and per-field provenance. Unknown IDs return isError with error_code not_found.
resolve_tool — Use when you already know a tool's URL (remote endpoint, website, docs), GitHub repo, package (npm:/pypi:/oci: or bare name) or registry name and need its Toolwork ID; returns IDs, not a setup snippet. To find what to use for a task, call search_tools instead. ID scheme: mcp:<registry name>, mcp:docker/<key>, api:<apis.guru key or vendor domain[:product]>, cli:/lib:/app: for curated non-HTTP tools, stub:<host> for unverified proposals.
compare_tools — Compare 2-5 tools (IDs from search_tools) side by side for a job: best pick now and why, transparent scores, and the tradeoffs that differ (auth, side effects, health, official, human steps).
get_playbook — What agents of a given type typically need at a lifecycle stage, with recommended categories, known blockers and live top picks.
check_stack — Health, risks and better alternatives for the tools your agent currently uses.
