New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you know if AI agents will choose your tool?

Ask HN: How do you know if AI agents will choose your tool? 2 by dmpyatyi | 3 comments on Hacker News. YC recently put out a video about the agent economy - the idea that agents are becoming autonomous economic actors, choosing tools and services without human input. It got me thinking: how do you actually optimize for agent discovery? With humans you can do SEO, copywriting, word of mouth. But an agent just looks at available tools in context and picks one based on the description, schema, examples. Has anyone experimented with this? Does better documentation measurably increase how often agents call your tool? Does the wording of your tool description matter across different models (ZLM vs Claude vs Gemini)?
