How tools run
Section titled “How tools run”| Layer | Module | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in registry | kazma_core/agent/tool_registry.py | Supervisor SoT; HITL in execute() |
| Schema | kazma_core/agent/tool_schema.py | Closed JSON Schema (additionalProperties: false). KAZMA_STRICT_TOOLS=1 adds OpenAI function.strict. |
| Structured JSON | LLMProvider.chat(..., response_format=) | Opt-in per call (json_schema / json_object). Not on every supervisor turn. |
| Hooks | kazma_core/agent/tool_hooks.py | PreToolUse (deny/rewrite) + PostToolUse (observe). Not HITL. KAZMA_TOOL_HOOKS=0. |
| Unified executor | MCP + local | MCP non-allowlist tools force danger under production |
| IDE path | IdeService._call_tool | Same registry — no bypass |
| Native skills | kazma-skills/kazma_skills/native/* | Loaded via skill manifests |
| MCP spec (client) | mcp_list_resources / mcp_read_resource / mcp_list_prompts / mcp_get_prompt | Resources fenced; prompts user-visible; sampling HITL. Kazma is also an MCP server: kazma mcp. |
| Computer use | computer_use | Screenshot→action (Playwright). Native Anthropic CUA / Gemini function when that model is active; else vision-JSON. HITL danger. KAZMA_COMPUTER_USE=0. KAZMA_CUA_PLANNER=0. |
Built-in tools (LocalToolRegistry)
Section titled “Built-in tools (LocalToolRegistry)”| Tool | Category | Danger (typical) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
file_read | filesystem | safe/read | Read a file from the local filesystem. Returns line-numbered text. Supports line range slicing via start_line/end_line or offset/limit. |
file_write | filesystem | danger | Write content to a local file (full overwrite). Creates parent directories if needed. Prefer file_apply_patch for edits to files that already exist. |
file_apply_patch | filesystem | danger | Surgically edit an existing workspace file. Prefer this over file_write for changes to files that already exist — send a unique old_string plus new_string (Aider-style), or a unified diff / Morph Begin Patch in patch=. HITL danger-tier like file_write. |
file_apply_patch_set | filesystem | danger | Apply several surgical edits in one step (one HITL card). Each item is {path, old_string, new_string} or {path, patch}; a top-level path is the file of every patch that names none. Prefer this over N× file_apply_patch / file_write for a multi-file fix. Max 20 hunks. Failed hunks restore a workspace… |
file_append | filesystem | danger | Append content to the end of a local file. Creates the file and parent directories if needed. Use this to build LARGE files in chunks — one file_write to create, then file_append for each subsequent section — instead of one giant write that can exceed the model’s output limit. |
file_delete | filesystem | danger | Delete a file or directory. Directories are removed recursively. Restricted to the workspace. Danger-tier (requires HITL approval). |
file_list | filesystem | safe/read | List files and directories at a path. Returns names sorted alphabetically. |
request_path_access | filesystem | danger | Request permission to read or write a path OUTSIDE the active workspace. Requires human approval (HITL). On approve, grants session access to that folder (or parent of a file) so file_read/file_list/file_search (and write tools if mode=write) can use it. Prefer durable Extra folders in Settings for… |
file_search | filesystem | safe/read | Search for text inside files using regex. Returns matching lines with file paths and line numbers. |
codebase_search | filesystem | safe/read | Search the workspace codebase by symbol name and/or text. Uses a tree-sitter/regex definition index plus live ripgrep. Prefer this over file_search when looking for a function, class, or identifier. mode: auto | symbol | text. |
codebase_status | filesystem | safe/read | Codebase index health: files/symbols indexed, whether ripgrep and tree-sitter are available. Read-only. |
send_file | filesystem | danger | Send a file from the workspace to the user’s chat (Telegram/Discord/Slack), or show it in the web chat. Use this when the user asks for a file, document, PDF, or download. The file is delivered as an attachment alongside the text caption; in the web chat the result gives a line to put in your answe… |
memory_search | memory | safe/read | Search long-term memory for relevant past conversations, facts, or preferences. Use this before answering questions that may require context from earlier sessions. |
memory_admin | memory | danger | MEMORY ADMIN (read+write). Prefer this over SQL for all memory maintenance. action=list_beliefs|list_entities|invalidate|delete_entity|purge_empty_entities|merge|link|help. Graph cleanup: merge (id=source, target=keep), link (subject, predicate, object). Example hierarchy: link subject=user predica… |
memory_merge_entities | memory | danger | WRITE: Merge memory entity source into target. Beliefs rewired; use for duplicate shells (kazma_app → kazma, acme_project → acme). Protected: cannot merge away the hub (user), the agent, the owner’s own names or an entity the operator protected. Prefer over memory_store for cleanup. |
memory_link_entities | memory | safe/read | WRITE: Link two entities with a belief edge subject—predicate—>object. Use for graph hierarchy e.g. user has_project kazma; kazma has_part kazma_file_index. Creates missing entity rows. Not for free-text notes (use memory_store for notes). |
memory_list_beliefs | memory | safe/read | List active long-term memory beliefs (V2). Optional q filter. For deletes use memory_admin action=invalidate. Not SQL. |
memory_invalidate | memory | danger | WRITE: Soft-invalidate one belief by id (from memory_list_beliefs). Removes stale/duplicate facts. Also: memory_admin action=invalidate id=… When the USER asks you to forget something they told you, pass forget_source_turn=true: the conversation turn the fact came from is forgotten too (as the Memo… |
memory_forget_mentions | memory | danger | WRITE: Forget EVERY memory of a conversation and every current fact that contains this exact text (any case, at least 4 characters). Use when the user asks to forget everything that mentions something (a codeword, a number, a name): memory_search shows only the best few matches, so forgetting its h… |
memory_list_entities | memory | safe/read | List memory entities with belief counts. To delete empty shells: memory_admin action=purge_empty_entities confirm=true. To delete one: memory_delete_entity or memory_admin action=delete_entity. |

memory_purge_empty_entities | memory | danger | WRITE: Purge entity shells with zero active beliefs (safe clutter cleanup). Dry-run by default (confirm=false). Set confirm=true to delete. Also: memory_admin action=purge_empty_entities confirm=true. |
memory_store | memory | safe/read | Store a fact, preference, or conversation fragment in long-term memory. Use when the user shares personal info, preferences, or important context that should be remembered across sessions.

Common keys: connectors.telegram.allowed_users (comma-separated user IDs), connectors.discord.allowed_… |
config_read | system | safe/read | Read a configuration setting from the persistent settings store. Returns a structured status so you can tell missing vs unset vs set: status=missing (key never stored), unset (key present but empty), set (has a value), or secret (value exists but is hidden). Use for allowed users, agent.personality… |
shell_exec | system | danger | Execute a shell command (allowlisted binaries only) and return stdout+stderr. Prefer native tools first: file_list/file_read/file_search/file_write, git_status/git_*, python_exec/code_exec, install_agent_skill. Do NOT use shell for: cd (not allowed — cwd is already the workspace), cat/ls (use file_… |

check_swarm_task | swarm | safe/read | Wait for a dispatched Swarm task and return its result. Waits up to wait_seconds (default 60, at most 90) for the task to finish and returns the full result as soon as it does; if it is still running then, says so — call again with the same id to keep waiting (a research task takes one to three mi… |
python_exec | code | danger | Execute Python code in a sandboxed subprocess. Returns stdout + stderr. Max 30s timeout, 512MB memory, isolated mode (no site-packages). Use for calculations, data processing, prototyping. |
repository_metrics | diagnostics | safe/read | Get fresh verified metrics for the installed Kazma source repository. Use FIRST for Kazma metrics posts, LOC/files/package/test-function counts; never substitute cached METRICS.md. Reuses the official generator without writes, shell interpreters or live pytest execution. Returns the verified runtim… |

Maintaining it is how you make ‘next’ unambiguous. Set goal when the mission is defined, next_act… |
Swarm worker tools
Section titled “Swarm worker tools”A swarm worker offers these to its model itself, only while the swarm engine dispatches it; they are not in the registry, so the main agent, the MCP server and scheduled tasks never see them. The tools a worker reaches through them keep their own approval rules. See Swarm orchestration.
| Tool | Category | Danger (typical) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
handoff_to_worker | swarm | safe/read | Hand the rest of this task to another swarm worker whose role or tools fit it better. You stop when you call this: the worker you name continues the task with what you pass in context, and its answer becomes the result. Call it on its own, not together with other tools. |

OCR tak… |
convert_document | document-processor | document | safe/read | TRANSIENT, PATH-BASED. Converts an EXISTING file at a workspace path. HTML to PDF comes out in Kazma’s house style (brand fonts, headings, tables, bilingual direction); keep_source_style=true keeps the file’s own design, only when the user asks for that. To MAKE a report or document, use generate_p… |
pdf_fill_form | document-processor | document | danger | Fill only known AcroForm fields in an isolated worker after rejecting scripts/actions. Output fields may remain editable and this limitation is reported. |
pdf_redact | document-processor | document | danger | TRANSIENT, PATH-BASED. Redacts a file at a workspace path.

x_post | x-publisher | social | danger | Post one tweet via official POST /2/tweets (OAuth 1.0a). CONTRACT: persist drafts with save_proposal FIRST, then call this ONCE PER ITEM with proposal_id=<that item’s id> — the commitment gate refuses without it and rewrites text from the stored proposal (the id wins).

Manifest-only coding skills
Section titled “Manifest-only coding skills”Some native folders ship manifests without a tools map (prompt/workflow skills): code-review, fix-lint, refactor-file, write-tests. They appear in the hub/skills UI but do not register discrete tool functions like the rows above.
MCP tools
Section titled “MCP tools”MCP servers configured under mcp.servers in kazma.yaml contribute tools at runtime. Classification:
- Name patterns containing write/exec/delete → danger
- read/list/get → often safe
- Unknown → danger (fail-closed)
- Production may force HITL for non-allowlisted MCP tools
See Skills, MCP & Tools.
Tools that need approval (HITL)
