Is Agentic Tool Metadata (ATM) the same thing as Skills (SKILL.md)?

No. Skills (SKILL.md) teach the agent how to perform a task or workflow. Agentic Tool Metadata (ATM) makes the tools themselves reliable, safe, and production-ready.

Skills focus on process. ATM focuses on resilience, validation, policy, observability, and supply-chain trust. The two are highly complementary, great skills need hardened tools underneath them.
