Tools - Know What You Can Do
List all available tools showing their parameters, capabilities, and typical use cases.
Format the output as TypeScript function signatures for clarity:
// Core File Operations
Read(file_path: string, offset?: number, limit?: number): string
Write(file_path: string, content: string): void
Edit(file_path: string, old_string: string, new_string: string): void
// Search Operations
Glob(pattern: string, path?: string): string[]
Grep(pattern: string, path?: string, options?: GrepOptions): string[]
// Execution
Bash(command: string, timeout?: number): { stdout: string, stderr: string }
// Web Operations
WebFetch(url: string, prompt: string): string
WebSearch(query: string): SearchResult[]
// Agent Operations
Task(prompt: string, subagent_type: string): string
// MCP Tools (if configured)
// List any available MCP server tools
After listing tools, note:
- Which tools require permission vs auto-allowed
- Any tool restrictions in current settings
- MCP servers available (if any)
This helps understand current capabilities before starting a task.
