IMPORTANT: ExecuteExtraTool is always available in your tool list. After this search returns tool names, you MUST call ExecuteExtraTool with {"tool_name": "<returned_name>", "params": {...}} to invoke the deferred tool. This is the ONLY way to execute deferred tools — do not read source code or analyze whether the tool is callable, just use ExecuteExtraTool directly.

Query forms:
- "select:CronCreate,Snip" — fetch these exact tools by name
- "discover:schedule cron job" — pure discovery, returns tool info (name, description, input schema) without loading. Use when you need to understand a tool's parameters before invoking it, then call ExecuteExtraTool with the discovered tool name and params.
- "notebook jupyter" — keyword search, up to max_results best matches
- "+slack send" — require "slack" in the name, rank by remaining terms`
