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. Not an MCP server.
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)

Tool	Category	Danger (typical)	Description
file_read	filesystem	safe/read	Read a file from the local filesystem.
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 Begi
file_apply_patch_set	filesystem	danger	Apply several file_apply_patch edits as one HITL card. Optional verify=true runs nearby pytest after apply (TESTS PASSED / TESTS FAILED). Prefer this for a multi-file change.
file_append	filesystem	safe/read
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
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. m
codebase_status	filesystem	safe/read	Codebase index health: files/symbols indexed, whether ripgrep and tree-sitter are available. Read-only.
send_file	filesystem	safe/read
task_ledger_update	memory	safe/read	Update the DURABLE TASK LEDGER (goal, plan steps, declared next action, findings) — the structured task state the user’s short continuation replies (‘proceed’/‘next’/‘continue’) resolve against. Set goal when the mission is defined, next_action whenever you announce the next step, add_finding for durable results, mark_step_done (0-based) as steps complete, complete=true when finished.
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	safe/read	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=so
memory_merge_entities	memory	safe/read	WRITE: Merge memory entity source into target. Beliefs rewired; use for duplicate shells (mubder_kazma → kazma, kazma_framework → kazma). Protected: cannot merge away user. Prefer over memory_store fo
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
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_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_delete_entity	memory	safe/read	WRITE: Delete one memory entity by id (e.g. empty shell). Protected: user/assistant/kazma. Also memory_admin action=delete_entity.
memory_purge_empty_entities	memory	safe/read	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

knowledge_create_library	knowledge	safe/read	Create a Knowledge Library (empty corpus) for documentation RAG. library_id should be a short slug (e.g. smoke_realwork_kb). Then call knowledge_ingest_url to add pages. Search with knowledge_search.
knowledge_ingest_url	knowledge	safe/read	Ingest a single documentation page URL into a Knowledge Library (fetch → chunk → index). Creates the library if missing. For multi-page trees prefer knowledge_ingest_site with a small max_pages. Then
knowledge_ingest_site	knowledge	safe/read	Ingest a small documentation site tree into a Knowledge Library (sitemap/BFS discover + fetch + chunk + index). Caps max_pages (default 5, hard max 15) so agent turns stay bounded. Creates the library
knowledge_search	knowledge	safe/read	Search an ingested Knowledge Library (documentation corpus) for technical reference material — API endpoints, parameters, error codes, configuration, examples. Use this when the user asks about a docu

mcp_test_server	system	safe/read	Test a configured MCP server connection: runs the real initialize → tools/list handshake and reports tool count or the exact error (auth failure, spawn error, timeout). Use this when asked to test/che

spawn_agents	delegation	safe/read	Spawn multiple sub-agents in parallel for independent tasks. Use this when you have 2-3 unrelated tasks that can run concurrently. Returns a list of results, one per task.
dispatch_swarm	swarm	safe/read	Dispatch a research or analysis task to the Swarm engine. The task appears in the Swarm panel (/swarm) with full worker progress, results, cost, and traceability. Returns a task ID immediately — use c

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

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.
