How OpenSmartRoute helps
The router treats agents, tools and skills as targets in the same catalogue as models. An MCP tool or an A2A agent is one entry; the router picks it when it fits the request and learns from how it performs. The same guard and resource limits apply to a tool's arguments as to a prompt.
