+## New Tools Policy
+
+**We are not accepting new tools into this repository.** Instead, we recommend publishing new tools as standalone community packages — this way you own your release cycle and can iterate independently.
+
+**What we accept:**
+- Bug fixes for existing tools
+- Documentation improvements
+- Performance enhancements to existing tools
+- Test coverage improvements
+
+**What we don't accept:**
+- New tool submissions (PRs adding new tools will be closed)
+- New tool feature requests (issues requesting new tools will be closed)
+
+**Want to build a tool?** Use our [extension template](https://github.com/strands-agents/extension-template-python) to scaffold your own tool package and publish it to PyPI. Once published, you can get it featured in our docs and community catalog:
+
+- Extension template: https://github.com/strands-agents/extension-template-python
+- Get featured in docs: https://strandsagents.com/docs/community/get-featured/
+- Contribution guide: https://strandsagents.com/docs/contribute/
