It is a mercy that this bot can't remember me asking the same question over and over. But I got the bot to suggest a pypi package *name* and then use a tool to check pypi if the package already exists.

Next I guess I can do the flip side, 'Suggest a package' and combine with a tool that checks if it exists.

One pattern is you have to strategically hide tools. If I ask it to search pypi, screw that, I can do that directly. But if I ask it to suggest a package without tools, it will give me a mix of real and hallucinated packages. I have it use a tool to check if they really exist and then I get a good result.
