I’ve had very good luck having my system search for available tool functions with natural language (ultimately against Qdrant). I’m surprised to hear that people are trying to grep files, instead.


People? No, that's what AI agents themselves do.

There are theoretical gains from using a vector search engine in an agentic loop, but grep is the lowest common denominator of agentic search.
