Tool Selection

Overview

Select the optimal MCP tool by evaluating task complexity, accuracy needs, and performance trade-offs.

When to Use

  • Choosing between Codanna and Morphllm
  • Routing tasks based on complexity
  • Explaining tool selection rationale

Avoid when:

  • The tool is explicitly specified by the user

Quick Reference

Task Load reference
Tool selection skills/tool-selection/references/select.md

Workflow

  1. Parse the operation requirements.
  2. Load the tool selection reference.
  3. Apply the scoring and decision matrix.
  4. Report the chosen tool and rationale.

Output

  • Selected tool and confidence
  • Rationale and trade-offs

Common Mistakes

  • Ignoring explicit user tool preferences
  • Overweighting speed vs accuracy without justification
