 # pi-lean-ctx
 
-CLI-first [Pi Coding Agent](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono) extension that routes Pi’s built-in tools through [lean-ctx](https://leanctx.com) for **60–90% token savings**.
+[Pi Coding Agent](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono) extension that provides `ctx_`-prefixed tools backed by [lean-ctx](https://leanctx.com) for **60–90% token savings**.

-### CLI overrides (bash, read, grep, find, ls)
+### ctx_ tools (CLI-backed)
 
-These tools invoke the `lean-ctx` binary via CLI with `LEAN_CTX_COMPRESS=1`. The output is parsed for compression stats and displayed with a token savings footer.
+These tools invoke the `lean-ctx` binary via CLI with `LEAN_CTX_COMPRESS=1`.
+The built-in tools they replace (`read`, `bash`, `ls`, `find`, `grep`) are disabled
+via `pi.setActiveTools()` so only the `ctx_` versions are available to the LLM.
 
 ### Optional MCP bridge (all other tools)
 
 If you enable the MCP bridge, pi-lean-ctx spawns the `lean-ctx` binary as an MCP server (JSON-RPC over stdio).
-It discovers available tools via `list_tools`, filters out those already covered by CLI overrides, and registers the rest as native Pi tools.

 If `lean-ctx` is already configured as an MCP server via [pi-mcp-adapter](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-mcp-adapter) in `~/.pi/agent/mcp.json`, the embedded bridge is skipped to avoid duplicate tools.
