What

The coordinator only advertises the plugin and skill search tools when the plugin-skill tool is enabled, so in most sessions they are not offered at all.

Details
  • Filtered names: SearchPlugins, SearchSkills, ListPlugins, ListSkills, now hoisted into shared constants.
  • Blocked outright under the hipaa restriction, always on in remote sessions, otherwise dependent on a rollout pin.
  • New predicate isPluginSkillToolAdvertised gates the advertisement.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
