# MLX Scout
Resolve `<plugin-root>` as the absolute directory two levels above the directory containing this SKILL.md; it holds `scripts/` and `src/`. Never resolve the bundled executable from the shell working directory.
canonical capability ID: mlx-agent.scout
Run the provider-neutral discovery command:
`python3 <plugin-root>/scripts/mlx-agent discover <arguments>`
Present its evidence and recommendations as returned. Discovery must not download model weights or change configuration. If a later download or configuration mutation would help, describe the exact CLI preview first and obtain explicit user confirmation before it. Bundled references (read when relevant): `<plugin-root>/src/mlx_agent/resources/references/quantization.md` for quant tradeoffs, `<plugin-root>/src/mlx_agent/resources/references/model-families.md` for chat-template and tool-calling quirks, `<plugin-root>/src/mlx_agent/resources/references/troubleshooting.md` for serving symptoms.
Tool-use is canonical; agentic is descriptive only. Models verified to invoke supplied tools with schema-valid arguments. Tool-use membership is additional, so a model may retain its primary role. Its recommendation minimum is verified: metadata is not verification, and recommendation requires verified evidence from a schema-valid synthetic runtime tool call. Manifest safety says automatic model downloads are disabled; verification must not pull, install, or download models. Report unsupported runtimes explicitly. If none is verified, recommend none; never use a fallback.
