So I take it the name is fine?

It could use a good redirect, maybe simply "Everything Is Multipurpose"? but honestly I think that the name is fine. It's not really about phlebotinum (that's "the versatile substance that may be rubbed on almost anything to cause an effect needed by a plot.")

I can get behind Everything is Multipurpose
also in my defense: phlebotinum - "the versatile substance that may be rubbed on almost anything to cause an effect needed by a plot." in my mind was translated as "the versatile machine that may be rubbed on almost anything to cause an effect needed by a plot." but in retrospect that's a bit too much like Green Lantern Ring But More Specific and less powerful

Hello,
I was brain storming ideas to make the trope more search-able, perhaps multi-purpose phlebotinum, anyone want to help brainstorm?
