Authentication

API key. Set this header on your connection to pick.tools:

X-Pick-Key-ref: <your Ref API key>

pick.tools passes the key to Ref in the header x-ref-api-key: … on each call, and never stores, logs or echoes it.

From an agent (picker mode): call_tool with server=ref; set header X-Pick-Key-ref to your Ref API key

Tools (0)

No tools cached yet. They appear after a caller lists them through pick.tools with a key.

One pick.tools connection reaches every keyless and API-key server in the catalog. For more keyed services, add one X-Pick-Key-<slug> header each.
