Daemon Tools

Tools are the daemon's hands — they let it interact with the world.

Tool Interface

All tools implement a common interface:

typescript

interface Tool {
  name: string;
  description: string;
  inputSchema: JSONSchema;

  execute(input: unknown): Promise<ToolResult>;
  isAvailable(): Promise<boolean>;
}

interface ToolResult {
  status: "success" | "error" | "needs_input";
  output: unknown;
  error?: string;
  artifacts?: Artifact[];
}

Adding New Tools

Tools are modular and can be added without modifying the core daemon:

Create tool class implementing Tool interface
Register tool in tool registry
Tool becomes available to agent loop

See individual tool docs for implementation details.
