I don't have a good answer for your immediate question, but your post made me think, "there must be a way to show all available binaries in the current PATH".

And, of course, there is.

  compgen -c | sort | less

Thanks. I hadnt thought of this. The problem is it returns everthing. Im wodering if there is some way to grep and identifier. I guess I should just keep a list in my notes app.
