tool.io

An open-source library of functional software tools for people, their apps, and AI agents, aiming to be like a Wikipedia of tools so that small tools don't have to be recreated. Users can contribute and publish their own tools (via GitHub for now). Currently an alpha prerelease on GitHub, with a web app and CLI coming soon.

    “I'm working on a tool library for you, your apps and AI agents, it is on Github but super early though (alpha prerelease, web app and CLI etc coming very soon) https://github.com/tool-io/tools-ts The goal of https://tool.io is to be a Wikipedia but for functional software tools. Instead of recreating all kinds of small tools, use an open-source library instead, and you can contribute and create your own tools and publish them (by contributing on Github for now)”
