Get a Skill with its files

Some Gateway deployments expose the Skill extension tool whose source name is get_skill. Use the exact namespaced name returned by authenticated tools/list.
This compatibility tool is not declared by the current Agent Gateway main branch. Call it only when it appears in your connected deployment’s tools/list result.
  • Inputs: required Skill id in skill_... form; plus any common fields added by Gateway, such as rationale or session_id.
  • Returns: the Skill view and a files object that maps each bundle path to its text content.
  • Effect: read only.
This tool is useful when the generic artifact read does not inline the Skill’s SKILL.md and supporting text files.
