# The agent builder's tool picker now matches the runtime

> The agent builder lists the runtime's real tools, core tools are always available, and sub-agents now inherit their parent's tool gating.

The tool picker in the [agent builder](/products/dino-ai/programmable-agents/creating-agents-in-the-app) previously offered the web copilot's tool names, which do not always match what the agent runtime runs, so an allowlist built in the UI could silently ship an agent without the tools you picked. The picker now reads the runtime's actual tool catalogue, grouped by area and limited to the integrations your workspace has connected.

Tool gating itself also got simpler and safer:

* Nine core tools (file reading, code search, skills, sub-agents, plan mode, and the Paradime docs tools) are now [always available](/products/dino-ai/programmable-agents/tools-reference#always-available-tools): an allowlist no longer needs to name them, and a denylist cannot remove them. Previously an allowlist could strand an agent in plan mode or silently disable Agent Skills.
* Sub-agents now inherit the parent agent's tool gating, so a tightly allowlisted agent can no longer reach extra tools by delegating.

Shipped in Paradime v6.7.0.
