The Thread Protocol does not inherently provide a device/endpoint discovery service. It is possible to use something like multicast ping to solicit responses from all devices in the network, but that is not ideal if you are looking for select endpoints or want additional control over the discovery protocol. As is typical with IP-based protocols, device/endpoint discovery is often provided by a higher-layer service (e.g. DNS, application, etc.).
