Agent Tools

Five tools for managing agents on the host, called via bash.

agent_list

List available agents. Returns ID, name, description, and capabilities for each agent.

tai tool agent_list '{}'
tai tool agent_list '{"namespace": "smith"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-------------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------| | namespace | string | no | Filter by namespace (e.g. yao, smith). Omit for all. |

agent_download

Download a smith-namespace agent into the development directory for editing. Restricted to smith namespace only — for other agents, use agent_reference.

tai tool agent_download '{"id": "smith.weather"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------| | id | string | yes | Agent ID in dot notation. Must be smith.*. |

Downloaded code lands in agent-smith-dev/assistants/smith/<name>/.

agent_reference

Download agent source code from the host into .references/ for read-only study. Any agent across all namespaces can be referenced.

tai tool agent_reference '{"id": "yao.slides"}'
tai tool agent_reference '{"id": "yao.keeper"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------| | id | string | yes | Agent ID in dot notation (e.g. yao.slides) |

Referenced code lands in agent-smith-dev/.references/<namespace>/<name>/.

agent_deploy

Deploy agent source code from the sandbox development directory to the host. Restricted to the smith namespace only — attempts to deploy to other namespaces will be rejected.

tai tool agent_deploy '{"id": "smith.weather"}'
tai tool agent_deploy '{"id": "smith.weather", "message": "add SUI page"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------| | id | string | yes | Agent ID in dot notation. Must use smith namespace. | | message | string | no | Optional deploy message for logging. |

agent_connectors

Get the current user's LLM connector matrix. Returns metadata for each role (default, heavy, light, vision, etc.) without API keys. Use this to understand which models are available and their capabilities.

tai tool agent_connectors '{}'

No parameters required.

Guidelines

  • Use agent_list to discover agents before downloading or referencing
  • agent_download is for editing smith agents — code lands in agent-smith-dev/assistants/smith/<name>/
  • agent_reference is for studying any agent — code lands in agent-smith-dev/.references/<namespace>/<name>/
  • Deploy is restricted to the smith namespace for safety
  • Connector data never includes API keys, secrets, or tokens
  • All output is JSON
