Tools are the capabilities the agent uses in agent mode to actually do things. You control exactly which tools are available in Settings → Tools and Plugins.
Built-in tools
Toggle these on or off per your comfort level. Web is on by default; the rest are off until you enable them.
| Tool | Tag | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Web | /web | Browse and search the web |
| File System | /files | Read and write local files and folders |
| Chrome | /chrome | Control the Chrome browser |
| Calendar | /calendar | Read and manage calendar events |
/email | Read and send mail via Apple Mail | |
| iMessage | /imessage | Send and read messages |
| Shell | /shell | Run shell commands |
| Code | /code | Execute Python code |
The agent shows each tool action before running it, so nothing touches your system or the network without your approval.
Sandboxing sensitive tools
The most powerful tools can be scoped with a Configure panel:
- File System — allow/deny specific paths.
- Shell — allow/block commands, set a working directory and environment.
- Code — set the Python interpreter and permissions.
Use these to keep the agent inside safe boundaries.
Partner integrations
Connect third-party accounts via OAuth to give the agent access to your services:
- Google — Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Slides, Maps
- Slack
- Notion
Connect them from the Partner Tools area in Settings → Tools and Plugins.
Extend with MCP
Need a capability that isn't built in? Add a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to plug in custom tools and data sources from any API or service. See MCP Servers.
