What your agent reads

The server's description of list_icon_libraries, one of the Icons tools. Your agent reads it to decide when to call the tool:

tools/listlist_icon_libraries.description

The icon sets, most used first: id, name, size, license, and the npm package of the sets that ship one (lucide-react…).

FAQ

Why does an icon set list an npm package?

Lucide, Tabler, Radix Icons, Heroicons and Phosphor ship one. From those, get_icon answers with the import, not a file: a project that has the package (most shadcn projects have lucide-react) adds nothing.
