bgpt-paper-search: allowed-tools declares only Bash but workflow requires MCP search_papers #191

Description

@specterslient95-lgtm

Problem

The scientific-skills/bgpt-paper-search/SKILL.md frontmatter declares allowed-tools: Bash, but the body instructs the agent to use the BGPT MCP server's search_papers tool. No Bash command is shown for performing the actual paper search once the MCP server is configured.

Impact

An agent following the declared tool policy cannot invoke the advertised capability. The skill promises structured paper search through BGPT, but its tool declaration only permits Bash.

Suggested fix

Update the tool declaration or the workflow so the advertised action is executable:

  • Add the relevant MCP tool to allowed-tools, if the skill format supports MCP tool names.
  • Or document the exact Bash command that invokes the BGPT search path.
  • Or remove the misleading allowed-tools: Bash restriction if MCP usage is required.
