When does this happen?

IF Autonomous sessions carry too many tools and schemas into context upfront, causing agent sprawl.

How others solved it

THEN Use 1MCP CLI mode with `1mcp serve` running in the background. In the agent, progressively discover tools using `1mcp instructions`, `1mcp inspect <server>`, `1mcp inspect <server>/<tool>`, and `1mcp run <server>/<tool> --args '<json>'` to reduce the working surface per step.

1mcp instructions
1mcp inspect context7
1mcp inspect context7/query-docs
1mcp run context7/query-docs --args '{"libraryId":"/mongodb/docs","query":"aggregation pipeline"}'
