List a pack's MCP tools

Every action of a pack version that is exposed to MCP, as MCP tool definitions in one response, so an MCP server lists a pack's tools with one request instead of one describe per action. The node builds the list when it loads the pack. Tool names are the registry's (`mcp_name`); each tool also carries the action's `ref` and `effects`, which a server drops from `tools/list`. Cache the response for `ttlMs`; the `ETag` is the version's content hash plus the filters, and `If-None-Match` with it answers `304`.

GET /v1/actions/packs/{namespace}/{name}/tools

Authentication

Bearer Token (b3os_sk_ API key or b3os_pat_ token)

Path Parameters

namespace string required path

Reverse-DNS publisher namespace, such as `io.b3os`.

Example: "io.b3os"

name string required path

Pack name within the namespace, such as `github`.

Example: "github"

Query Parameters

version string optional query

An exact version or a range such as `1` or `^1.2`; the latest by default.

effects string optional query

The most a listed tool may do. `read` lists `pure` and `read` actions only.

actions string optional query

Only these action keys, comma-separated (`post-message,list-channels`). An unknown key is a 400.

Header Parameters

If-None-Match string optional header

The `ETag` of a response you hold.

inputSchema object | boolean REQUIRED

A JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) document, such as a routine's `inputs` or an action's `inputSchema`. B3OS checks it against the meta-schema when it is published. References to the meta-schema in `schemas/*.json` resolve here.
