really cool, first time I've seen anyone treat "which tools does my agent even get to see" as its own problem. Is the roadmap more about pushing deeper on the retrieval side over time, or mostly about covering more frameworks/languages?

Thank you! Right now we're adding some frameworks adapters to lower the adoption friction, and pushing deeper on new algorithms on the retrieval side. More languages support is not on the radar yet, but we accept contributions! :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Anyone else suspect this is an entirely astroturfed comment section?

Yes. The comments read like positive ai vibes and their profiles seem empty and low karma.

Hey guys, fair callout, but no AI involved, promise! You're right that some comments look off and someone's farming karma for sure. We see genuine traffic to the repo anyway, so people is checking it out!

Critical feedback is what we're here for, so fire away if you have anything :)

Isn't this just RAG for tools? Also, MCP already has tool search, how is this useful in that case?

Hey, yes it's on the same family for sure! The difference is that it works with anything, not just MCPs, and it runs in-process without any additional infra (which usually isn't the case for other RAG solutions). Happy to hear your feedback if you try it out :)
