There is a meaning of 'good for' meaning it is a useful tool, but you never use it for a person except in a very insulting way.


He is good for carrying the luggage but little else. Don't trust him with anything more complicated.
There is even the adjective/noun - a good-for-nothing. But never use 'good for' about a person.




It works for inanimate objects.
This tool is good for picking up leaves.
This programme is the best for editing video.
That is one of its uses. I find it useful for that task.


But people are good at doing things, even if that skill is useful.
