 | Component | Name | Purpose |
 |---|---|---|
 | Agent (entry point) | `apify` | Routes each Apify request to the right MCP tool, CLI-based flow, or internal skill. **This is the one you should invoke.** |
-| Routing rule | `apify-routing` | Tells Copilot to send Apify-related requests through the `apify` agent first instead of calling `apify-*` skills directly. |
 | MCP server | `apify` (`https://mcp.apify.com/`) | Configured in `.vscode/mcp.json`; lets the agent search the Apify Store, fetch Actor details, run Actors, retrieve dataset items, and look up Apify docs when MCP is available. |
 | Skill | `apify-actor-development` | Create, debug, test, and deploy a new Apify Actor from scratch. |
 | Skill | `apify-actorization` | Convert an existing JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or CLI-based project into an Apify Actor. |

 ### Step 1: Understand goal and select Actor
 
 Identify the target platform and use case. Read `references/actor-index.md` to find the right Actor.
+Prefer `apify`-tier actors; use `community`-tier only when no `apify` actor covers the task.
