Search for MacPilot tools by describing what you want to do. Returns the most relevant tools with their names, descriptions, and example prompts.
AI agents call pilotgentic_tool_search to retrieve information from PilotGentic without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves information about available tools in the system. It performs a search operation that reads and returns metadata without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. This is a classic Read category operation—it discovers available tools but does not invoke them or change system state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search for MacPilot tools' and 'Returns the most relevant tools with their names, descriptions, and example prompts.' This is a pure query/lookup operation with no side effects.
