Toolhub is heavily incomplete so it should visibly link to other places with additional tool documentations (or import tools data from there)

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

Currently, https://developer.wikimedia.org/contribute/search/ links only to Toolhub under "Search tools and bots". Additionally, it's also linked from a bunch of other places or the place where people may go to find tools.

However, many scripts and tools documented elsewhere in the Wikimedia ecosystem are not to be found there. Even highly used ones. So please either integrate these via some scripts or link to those other places. A list of such other places could be compiled and they include:

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

People trying to find tools should find existing tools, people browsing to discover relevant tools should find existing tools, people should not think the tools listed there are all tools as misleadingly implicitly suggested at some places like the mentioned one and the site itself.

By the way, ultimately it would be much better if there was an Editor Assistant tool one could just in natural language ask/describe one's needs or the task(s) one wants to accomplish and it surfaces the relevant tool(s) – this is what wish Adopt a Wikipedia-trained LLM & make it learn help pages & categories to help newcomers is about.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

See above. Further info in the wish in the Community Wishlist.
