+
+## 🎯 Key Features Implemented
+
+### Phase 1: Filesystem-Based Tool Discovery
+
+#### 1. Directory Structure
+
+```
+src/mcp/tools/
+├── agents/     - Agent management tools
+├── tasks/      - Task orchestration tools
+├── memory/     - Memory management tools
+├── system/     - System tools (status, search)
+├── config/     - Configuration tools
+├── workflow/   - Workflow execution tools
+├── terminal/   - Terminal tools
+├── query/      - Query control tools
+├── swarm/      - Swarm coordination tools
+├── data/       - Data processing tools
+└── jobs/       - Async job management tools
+```
+
+#### 2. Dynamic Tool Loader
+
+**Features**:
+- Scans tool directories for metadata
+- Builds lightweight metadata index
+- Loads full tool definitions on-demand
+- Caches loaded tools for performance
+- Supports hot reloading
+
+**API**:
+```typescript
+const loader = new DynamicToolLoader(toolsDir, logger);
+
+// Scan for metadata (lightweight)
+await loader.scanTools();
+
+// Lazy load specific tool
+const tool = await loader.loadTool('agents/spawn', logger);
+
+// Search tools
+const results = loader.searchTools({
+  category: 'agents',
+  tags: ['spawn'],
+  namePattern: 'agent',
+});
+
+// Get statistics
+const stats = loader.getStats();
+```
+
+#### 3. Tool Template
+
+Every tool now follows a standard pattern:
+
+```typescript
+// Tool definition
+export function createXxxTool(logger: ILogger): MCPTool {
+  return {
+    name: 'namespace/toolname',
+    description: '...',
+    inputSchema: { /* JSON Schema */ },
+    metadata: { /* For discovery */ },
+    handler: async (input, context) => { /* Implementation */ },
+  };
+}
+
+// Lightweight metadata export
+export const toolMetadata = {
+  name: 'namespace/toolname',
+  description: '...',
+  category: '...',
+  detailLevel: 'standard',
+};
+```
+
+#### 4. Progressive Tool Registry
+
+**Old Registry**:
+```typescript
+// Loaded all 50+ tools upfront
+const tools = await createClaudeFlowTools(logger);
+for (const tool of tools) {
+  registry.register(tool);  // ~150k tokens
+}
+```
+
+**New Registry**:
+```typescript
+// Scan metadata only
+await registry.initialize();  // ~2k tokens
+
+// Tools loaded on first invocation
+const tool = await registry.getTool('agents/spawn');  // Lazy load
+```
+
+### Phase 2: tools/search Capability
+
+#### 1. Three Detail Levels
+
+**names-only** (Fastest, Minimal Tokens):
+```json
+{
+  "tools": [
+    { "name": "agents/spawn" },
+    { "name": "agents/list" },
+    { "name": "agents/terminate" }
+  ],
+  "detailLevel": "names-only",
+  "tokenSavings": { "reductionPercent": 99.2 }
+}
+```
+
+**basic** (Recommended for Discovery):
+```json
+{
+  "tools": [
+    {
+      "name": "agents/spawn",
+      "description": "Spawn a new agent",
+      "category": "agents",
+      "tags": ["spawn", "agent-management"]
+    }
+  ],
+  "detailLevel": "basic",
+  "tokenSavings": { "reductionPercent": 97.5 }
+}
+```
+
+**full** (Use Only When Needed):
+```json
+{
+  "tools": [
+    {
+      "name": "agents/spawn",
+      "description": "Spawn a new agent",
+      "category": "agents",
+      "inputSchema": { /* Full JSON Schema */ },
+      "examples": [ /* Usage examples */ ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "detailLevel": "full"
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Search Filters
+
+```typescript
+// By category
+await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  category: 'agents',
+  detailLevel: 'basic'
+});
+
+// By query text
+await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  query: 'spawn',
+  detailLevel: 'names-only'
+});
+
+// By tags
+await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  tags: ['agent-management', 'spawn'],
+  detailLevel: 'basic'
+});
+
+// Combined filters
+await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  category: 'system',
+  query: 'status',
+  detailLevel: 'full',
+  limit: 5
+});
+```
+
+#### 3. Token Savings Tracking
+
+The `tools/search` tool automatically calculates token savings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "tokenSavings": {
+    "estimatedFullSize": 150000,
+    "actualSize": 2000,
+    "reductionPercent": 98.67,
+    "savingsRatio": "75x"
+  }
+}
+```
+

+## 🚀 Usage Guide
+
+### For Tool Developers
+
+#### Creating a New Tool
+
+1. **Copy the template**:
+```bash
+cp src/mcp/tools/_template.ts src/mcp/tools/agents/spawn.ts
+```
+
+2. **Update placeholders**:
+```typescript
+// Replace [ToolName], [namespace], [toolname], [category]
+export function createAgentSpawnTool(logger: ILogger): MCPTool {
+  return {
+    name: 'agents/spawn',
+    description: 'Spawn a new agent with configuration',
+    // ...
+  };
+}
+
+export const toolMetadata = {
+  name: 'agents/spawn',
+  description: 'Spawn a new agent',
+  category: 'agents',
+  detailLevel: 'standard',
+};
+```
+
+3. **Tool automatically discovered**:
+- No need to register in a central file
+- Metadata export makes it discoverable
+- First invocation triggers lazy loading
+
+#### Tool Development Checklist
+
+- [ ] Copy `_template.ts` to appropriate category directory
+- [ ] Update all `[PLACEHOLDER]` values
+- [ ] Define `InputInterface` and `ResultInterface`
+- [ ] Implement `handler` function
+- [ ] Add `toolMetadata` export
+- [ ] Add examples in metadata
+- [ ] Test with `tools/search`
+- [ ] Test lazy loading behavior
+
+### For Tool Users
+
+#### Discovering Tools
+
+```typescript
+// Quick discovery (minimal tokens)
+const tools = await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  detailLevel: 'names-only',
+  limit: 20
+});
+
+// Browse by category
+const agentTools = await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  category: 'agents',
+  detailLevel: 'basic'
+});
+
+// Search by keyword
+const searchResults = await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  query: 'memory',
+  detailLevel: 'basic'
+});
+
+// Get full schema for specific tool
+const fullDetails = await mcpClient.callTool('tools/search', {
+  query: 'agents/spawn',
+  detailLevel: 'full',
+  limit: 1
+});
+```
+
+#### Invoking Tools
+
+```typescript
+// Tools are loaded automatically on first invocation
+const result = await mcpClient.callTool('agents/spawn', {
+  type: 'researcher',
+  name: 'Research Agent',
+  capabilities: ['web-search', 'analysis']
+});
+
+// Subsequent calls use cached definition (fast)
+const result2 = await mcpClient.callTool('agents/spawn', {
+  type: 'coder',
+  name: 'Code Generator'
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Migration from Old Registry
+
+### Automatic Migration (Recommended)
+
+The new registry is backward compatible:
+
+```typescript
+// Old code still works
+import { createToolRegistry } from './mcp/tool-registry.js';
+
+// Simply replace with progressive version
+import { createProgressiveToolRegistry } from './mcp/tool-registry-progressive.js';
+
+const registry = await createProgressiveToolRegistry({
+  enableInProcess: true,
+  enableMetrics: true,
+  enableCaching: true,
+});
+
+// Same API, better performance
+const tool = await registry.getTool('agents/spawn');
+```
+
+### Manual Tool Migration
+
+For existing tools in `claude-flow-tools.ts`:
+
+1. Create category directory: `src/mcp/tools/agents/`
+2. Create tool file: `spawn.ts`
+3. Copy tool definition from `claude-flow-tools.ts`
+4. Add `toolMetadata` export
+5. Remove from `claude-flow-tools.ts`
+
+**Migration Script** (future enhancement):
+```bash
+npm run migrate-tools
+```
+
