Fair point on tool search. Claude Code and Codex do have it.

But tool search is solving the symptom, not the cause. You still pay the per-tool token cost for every tool the search returns. And you've added a search step (with its own latency and token cost) before every tool call.

With a CLI, the agent runs `--help` and gets 50-200 tokens of exactly what it needs. No search index, no ranking, no middleware. The binary is the registry.

Tool search makes MCP workable. CLIs make the search unnecessary.
