Tools Implemented

Tool Description
read_files Read one or multiple files with encoding detection
write Create or overwrite files
edit_file Make line-based edits to text files
directory_tree Get a recursive tree view of directories
get_file_info Get metadata about a file or directory
grep Fast pattern search in files with ripgrep integration for best performance (docs)
content_replace Replace patterns in file contents
grep_ast Search code with AST context showing matches within functions, classes, and other structures
run_command Execute shell commands (also used for directory creation, file moving, and directory listing)
run_script Execute scripts with specified interpreters
script_tool Execute scripts in specific programming languages
read_notebook Extract and read source code from all cells in a Jupyter notebook with outputs
edit_notebook Edit, insert, or delete cells in a Jupyter notebook
think Structured space for complex reasoning and analysis without making changes
dispatch_agent Launch one or more agents that can perform tasks using read-only tools concurrently

Getting Started

For detailed installation and configuration instructions, please refer to INSTALL.md.

For optimal performance, we recommend installing ripgrep to accelerate file content searches. See Grep migration docs for details.
