# Tool Selection
## Overview
Select the optimal MCP tool by evaluating task complexity, accuracy needs, and performance trade-offs.
## When to Use
- Choosing between Codanna and Morphllm
- Routing tasks based on complexity
- Explaining tool selection rationale
Avoid when:
- The tool is explicitly specified by the user
## Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
| --- | --- |
| Tool selection | `skills/tool-selection/references/select.md` |
## Workflow
1. Parse the operation requirements.
2. Load the tool selection reference.
3. Apply the scoring and decision matrix.
4. Report the chosen tool and rationale.
## Output
- Selected tool and confidence
- Rationale and trade-offs
## Common Mistakes
- Ignoring explicit user tool preferences
- Overweighting speed vs accuracy without justification
