Search for commands by alias, command text, or description
AI agents call afc-search-commands to retrieve information from AFC Commander (Free Edition) without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and filters existing command metadata (alias, text, description) from the registry without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is purely informational. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only over-query or learn command names it shouldn't know about, but cannot modify state or execute operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'afc-search-commands' and description 'Search for commands by alias, command text, or description' indicate a query/search operation with no side effects.
