# Networking - MCP Tool Specification

This document outlines the specification for tools within the Networking module that are intended to be integrated with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

## Current Status: No MCP Tools Defined

The Networking module provides HTTP client utilities, WebSocket support, SSH/SFTP connectivity, raw TCP/UDP socket operations, and port scanning capabilities for internal use by other Codomyrmex modules. These functions are primarily for programmatic integration within the application lifecycle and are not suited for exposure as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools.

MCP tools are typically designed for discrete, invocable actions or queries that an external agent (like an LLM) would trigger. The internal networking, socket management, and connection lifecycle mechanisms do not fit this paradigm.

If future enhancements to this module introduce features that are appropriate for MCP (e.g., performing a connectivity health check against a list of endpoints, or scanning ports on a target host and returning structured results), this document will be updated accordingly.

For details on how to use the networking functionalities within your Python code, please refer to the module's `README.md` and `API_SPECIFICATION.md`.
