At some point, you run into the problem of having many tools that can accomplish the same task. Then you need a tool search engine, which helps you find the most relevant tool for your search keywords. But tool makers start to abuse Tool Engine Optimization (TEO) techniques to push their tools to the top of the tool rankings

Soon we will get promoted tools who want to show their brand to the human and agent. Pay a little extra and you can have your promotion retained in context!
I would argue that lot of the tools will be hosted on GitHub - infact, most of the existing repos are potentially a tool (in future). And the discovery is just a GitHub search
btw gh repos are already part of training the llm
So you don't even need internet to search for tools, let alone TEO
Just wait for the people to update their LinkedIn titles to TEO expert. :)
Don't give anyone any ideas. We now have SEO, GEO, AEO and now TEO? :-p
We just need another tool for ranking tools via ToolRank. We'll crowdsource the ranking from a combination of user responses to the agents themselves as well as a council of LLM tool rankers.
