ToolFunnel Overview

ToolFunnel sits between an agent and local or attached MCP servers, exposing a lean register of tools and fetching full instructions on demand. It supports server-side pre- and post-use policy hooks, live configuration through files, a loopback UI, or in-band functions, and optional JSONL auditing. Use it to consolidate tools, reduce context usage, apply portable policies, or bridge MCP protocol eras.
