Tools Reference

Every id below is a function id valid in the tools.list field of an agent YAML (the standalone agent runtime that powers Slack Bot, Programmable, and Bolt Pipeline agents). Use allowlist mode to restrict an agent to only what it needs, or denylist to remove tools from the default set. See YAML Configuration for syntax.

No tools block = full tool access. Side-effectful tools (for example trigger_bolt_schedule_run and the Bolt retries) are never available unless named explicitly in an allowlist. Overriding a schedule’s commands or branch is a separate tool, trigger_bolt_schedule_run_with_overrides: an agent that allowlists only trigger_bolt_schedule_run and passes commands to it is refused. Some tools are Copilot-only (Catalog, Column Lineage, DuckDB, GitHub PR) and are not available to agents, so they do not appear here.

Always-available tools

Nine core tools are available to every agent regardless of its tools block: an allowlist does not need to name them, and a denylist cannot remove them. This means an allowlist can no longer strand an agent in plan mode or silently disable Agent Skills.

Id	Description
`read_file`	Read a file in the repo
`search_files_and_directories`	List and navigate the repo file structure
`ripgrep_search`	Search code patterns across files with ripgrep
`enter_plan_mode` / `exit_plan_mode`	Enter and leave plan mode
`load_skill_instructions`	Load instructions for a named skill
`run_subagent`	Run a lightweight sub-task without a full agent pod
`search_paradime_docs` / `get_paradime_doc_page`	Search and read the Paradime help docs

Sub-agents started with run_subagent inherit the parent agent’s tool gating, so a tightly allowlisted agent cannot reach extra tools by delegating. The explicit-allowlist-only tools (the Bolt trigger and retry tools, and the Slack thread tools) are never available to sub-agents, even when the parent allowlists them.

Filesystem & code

File System Tool

Id	Description
`read_file`	Read a file in the repo, up to 2,000 line-numbered lines per call, with `offset` and `limit` to page through a large file
`edit_file`	Replace an exact string in a file, so an edit costs the size of the change rather than the size of the file
`write_file`	Create or overwrite a file
`search_files_and_directories`	List and navigate the repo file structure

edit_file comes with write_file. An agent that allowlists write_file is offered edit_file too, and denying write_file removes both, so existing agents get surgical edits without an allowlist change. An edit is refused unless the agent has already read the current version of the file in that run.
