Manowar gives every agent a small default capability surface:
Memory is automatic. Use card tools, harness_run, connectors_find, swarm_find, swarm_delegate, models_call, or search_call as needed.
| Tool | Discovers or runs | Backing service |
|---|
connectors_find | One MCP connector | CONNECTORS_URL /mcps/search |
harness_run | One typed MAL plan | In-process harness interpreter |
swarm_find | One registered agent | API_URL /agents/search |
swarm_delegate | One registered agent call | Harness subagent engine |
models_call | One model call | MODELS_URL /search, then internal inference |
search_call | One web search | Perplexity, OpenAI, or Gemini backends |
Why It Matters
The model catalog, connector catalog, agent index, and tool schemas can be large. Dumping them into every prompt wastes tokens and makes tool selection worse. Lazy discovery keeps the prompt stable and asks the owning service for ranked candidates.
Tool results are compacted before returning to the model. Defaults live in agent/tools/index.ts:
| Env var | Default |
|---|
AGENT_TOOL_RESULT_MAX_CHARS | 1800 |
AGENT_TOOL_RESULT_ARRAY_ITEMS | 3 |
AGENT_TOOL_RESULT_OBJECT_KEYS | 12 |
AGENT_TOOL_RESULT_STRING_CHARS | 240 |
AGENT_TOOL_RESULT_MAX_DEPTH | 5 |
__compose_truncated metadata so the model knows the result was compacted.
Comparison
| System | Discovery style | Manowar style |
|---|
| OpenAI Agents SDK | Tools are supplied by the app in code. | Default tools discover service-owned catalogs on demand. |
| OpenClaw | Gateway and plugins expose channel and capability surfaces. | Manowar exposes Compose services through compact runtime tools. |
| LangGraph | Nodes choose from state and tool bindings defined by the graph. | The native loop keeps a small tool surface and lets ranked services expand it. |
