  • Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1511 tokens (~167/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management90
  • Stability observed for 27 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

MCP tools · 9 exposed · ~1,511 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
cleanup_processes ~24

Remove all completed and failed processes from the process list to free up memory.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

doctor ~26

Check supported AI CLI binary availability and path resolution. Does not verify login state or terms acceptance.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_result ~88

Get the current output and status of an AI agent process by PID. Defaults to a compact result shape; set verbose to true for full metadata and detailed parsed output.

NameTypeReqDescription
pidnumberyesThe process ID returned by run tool.
verbosebooleanOptional: If true, returns the full result shape including metadata fields and detailed parsed output such as tool usage history. Defaults to false.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

kill_process ~30

Terminate a running AI agent process by PID.

NameTypeReqDescription
pidnumberyesThe process ID to terminate.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

models ~21

List supported model names, model aliases, and dynamic backend discovery hints.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

peek ~197

One-shot short observation window for running child agents. Returns only natural-language message events, and optionally normalized tool_call events, observed during this call; not a history API, not gapless streaming, and not stdout/stderr tailing. In v1, message extraction is supported for Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Gemini, and best-effort Forge Summary/Completed successfully lines. Forge tool calls are low-precision Execute/Finished markers and never include command output. Tool calls exclude raw tool output.

NameTypeReqDescription
include_tool_callsbooleanOptional: include normalized tool_call events without raw tool output. Defaults to false.
peek_time_secnumberOptional positive integer observation window in seconds. Defaults to 10; maximum is 60.
pidsarrayyesProcess IDs returned by run. Duplicates are deduplicated server-side, preserving first occurrence order. Unknown PIDs are returned per process as not_found.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

run ~978

AI Agent Runner: Starts a Claude, Codex, Gemini, Forge, or OpenCode CLI process in the background and returns a PID immediately. Use list_processes and get_result to monitor progress. • File ops: Create, read, (fuzzy) edit, move, copy, delete, list files, analyze/ocr images, file content analysis • Code: Generate / analyse / refactor / fix • Git: Stage ▸ commit ▸ push ▸ tag (any workflow) • Terminal: Run any CLI cmd or open URLs • Web search + summarise content on-the-fly • Multi-step workflows & GitHub integration **IMPORTANT**: This tool now returns immediately with a PID. Use other tools to check status and get results. **Supported models**: "claude-ultra", "codex-ultra", "gemini-ultra", "sonnet", "sonnet[1m]", "opus", "opusplan", "fable", "haiku", "gpt-6-astra", "gpt-5.4", "gpt-5.6-sol", "gpt-5.6-terra", "gpt-5.6-luna", "gpt-5.5", "gpt-5.4-mini", "gpt-5.3-codex", "gpt-5.3-codex-spark", "gpt-5.2", "gemini-2.5-pro", "gemini-2.5-flash", "gemini-3.1-pro-preview", "gemini-3-pro-preview", "gemini-3-flash-preview", "forge", "opencode", "oc-<provider/model>" **Prompt input**: You must provide EITHER prompt (string) OR prompt_file (file path), but not both. **Prompt tips** 1. Be concise, explicit & step-by-step for complex tasks. 2. Check process status with list_processes 3. Get results with get_result using the returned PID 4. Kill long-running processes with kill_process if needed

prompt_filestringPath to a file containing the prompt. Either this or prompt is required. Must be an absolute path or relative to workFolder.
reasoning_effortstringReasoning control for Claude and Codex. Claude uses --effort with "low", "medium", "high", "xhigh", "max". Codex uses model_reasoning_effort with "low", "medium", "high", "xhigh"; GPT-6 Astra and GPT…
session_idstringOptional session ID to resume a previous session. Supported for Claude, Codex, Gemini, Forge, and OpenCode. OpenCode resumes in-place via --session and may also be combined with explicit oc-<provider…
workFolderstringyesThe working directory for the agent execution. Must be an absolute path.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

wait ~113

Wait for multiple AI agent processes to complete and return their results. Defaults to compact result items; set verbose to true for full metadata and detailed parsed output.
