tooluniverse-publish-tool

Help the user publish one tool from their shared computer to ToolUniverse so other scientists' AI scientists can find and run it, choosing whether only they, specific colleagues, or everyone can use it. Prepares and tests the tool for them; the user makes the final Publish click. Use when the user says "publish my tool", "put my model in Discover", "let anyone use this tool", "let only my collaborators use this tool", or "unpublish my tool".

# Publish one tool to ToolUniverse

Publishing puts **one** tool from a computer the user already shares into ToolUniverse, with a page in Discover if they make it public. People can run that one tool; they cannot see the computer's other tools or anything else on it.

The person you are helping is usually a scientist, not a programmer. You do the preparation; the final choice of who can use it, and the Publish click, are the user's on the website. Never ask for passwords, keys or tokens in the chat.

## 1. Make sure the tool is shared first

Publishing needs the tool to be running on a computer connected to ToolUniverse.

- If you are connected to the hosted ToolUniverse (you have `list_remote_tools`), call it and look for the user's computer ("your computer ...") and the tool.
- Otherwise ask the user whether https://connect.aiscientist.tools/remote-servers shows the computer **online** with the tool listed.

If it is not shared yet, do that first with the skill `tooluniverse-share-computer`, then come back.
