-# Tools (Symi)
-
-Symi exposes **first-class agent tools** for browser, canvas, nodes, and cron.
-These replace the old `symi-*` skills: the tools are typed, no shelling,
-and the agent should rely on them directly.
-
-## Disabling tools
-
-You can globally allow/deny tools via `tools.allow` / `tools.deny` in `symi.json`
-(deny wins). This prevents disallowed tools from being sent to model providers.
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: { deny: ["browser"] },
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Matching is case-insensitive.
-- `*` wildcards are supported (`"*"` means all tools).
-- If `tools.allow` only references unknown or unloaded plugin tool names, Symi logs a warning and ignores the allowlist so core tools stay available.
-
-## Tool profiles (base allowlist)
-
-`tools.profile` sets a **base tool allowlist** before `tools.allow`/`tools.deny`.
-Per-agent override: `agents.list[].tools.profile`.
-
-Profiles:
-
-- `minimal`: `session_status` only
-- `coding`: `group:fs`, `group:runtime`, `group:sessions`, `group:memory`, `image`
-- `messaging`: `group:messaging`, `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `session_status`
-- `full`: no restriction (same as unset)
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    profile: "messaging",
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example (coding profile, but deny exec/process everywhere):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    profile: "coding",
-    deny: ["group:runtime"],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example (global coding profile, messaging-only support agent):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: { profile: "coding" },
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "support",
-        tools: { profile: "messaging", allow: ["slack"] },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Provider-specific tool policy
-
-Use `tools.byProvider` to **further restrict** tools for specific providers
-(or a single `provider/model`) without changing your global defaults.
-Per-agent override: `agents.list[].tools.byProvider`.
-
-This is applied **after** the base tool profile and **before** allow/deny lists,
-so it can only narrow the tool set.
-Provider keys accept either `provider` (e.g. `google-antigravity`) or
-`provider/model` (e.g. `openai/gpt-5.2`).
-
-Example (keep global coding profile, but minimal tools for Google Antigravity):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    profile: "coding",
-    byProvider: {
-      "google-antigravity": { profile: "minimal" },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example (provider/model-specific allowlist for a flaky endpoint):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    allow: ["group:fs", "group:runtime", "sessions_list"],
-    byProvider: {
-      "openai/gpt-5.2": { allow: ["group:fs", "sessions_list"] },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Example (agent-specific override for a single provider):
-
-```json5
-{
-  agents: {
-    list: [
-      {
-        id: "support",
-        tools: {
-          byProvider: {
-            "google-antigravity": { allow: ["message", "sessions_list"] },
-          },
-        },
-      },
-    ],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Tool groups (shorthands)
-
-Tool policies (global, agent, sandbox) support `group:*` entries that expand to multiple tools.
-Use these in `tools.allow` / `tools.deny`.
-
-Available groups:
-
-- `group:runtime`: `exec`, `bash`, `process`
-- `group:fs`: `read`, `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch`
-- `group:sessions`: `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `sessions_spawn`, `session_status`
-- `group:memory`: `memory_search`, `memory_get`
-- `group:web`: `web_search`, `web_fetch`
-- `group:ui`: `browser`, `canvas`
-- `group:automation`: `cron`, `gateway`
-- `group:messaging`: `message`
-- `group:nodes`: `nodes`
-- `group:symi`: all built-in Symi tools (excludes provider plugins)
-
-Example (allow only file tools + browser):
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    allow: ["group:fs", "browser"],
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Plugins + tools
-
-Plugins can register **additional tools** (and CLI commands) beyond the core set.
-See [Plugins](/tools/plugin) for install + config, and [Skills](/tools/skills) for how
-tool usage guidance is injected into prompts. Some plugins ship their own skills
-alongside tools (for example, the voice-call plugin).
-
-Optional plugin tools:
-
-- [Pipeline](/tools/pipeline): typed workflow runtime with resumable approvals (requires the Pipeline CLI on the gateway host).
-- [LLM Task](/tools/llm-task): JSON-only LLM step for structured workflow output (optional schema validation).
-
-## Tool inventory
-
-### `apply_patch`
-
-Apply structured patches across one or more files. Use for multi-hunk edits.
-Experimental: enable via `tools.exec.applyPatch.enabled` (OpenAI models only).
-`tools.exec.applyPatch.workspaceOnly` defaults to `true` (workspace-contained). Set it to `false` only if you intentionally want `apply_patch` to write/delete outside the workspace directory.
-
-### `exec`
-
-Run shell commands in the workspace.
-
-Core parameters:
-
-- `command` (required)
-- `yieldMs` (auto-background after timeout, default 10000)
-- `background` (immediate background)
-- `timeout` (seconds; kills the process if exceeded, default 1800)
-- `elevated` (bool; run on host if elevated mode is enabled/allowed; only changes behavior when the agent is sandboxed)
-- `host` (`sandbox | gateway | node`)
-- `security` (`deny | allowlist | full`)
-- `ask` (`off | on-miss | always`)
-- `node` (node id/name for `host=node`)
-- Need a real TTY? Set `pty: true`.
-
-Notes:
-
-- Returns `status: "running"` with a `sessionId` when backgrounded.
-- Use `process` to poll/log/write/kill/clear background sessions.
-- If `process` is disallowed, `exec` runs synchronously and ignores `yieldMs`/`background`.
-- `elevated` is gated by `tools.elevated` plus any `agents.list[].tools.elevated` override (both must allow) and is an alias for `host=gateway` + `security=full`.
-- `elevated` only changes behavior when the agent is sandboxed (otherwise it’s a no-op).
-- `host=node` can target a macOS companion app or a headless node host (`symi node run`).
-- gateway/node approvals and allowlists: [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals).
-
-### `process`
-
-Manage background exec sessions.
-
-Core actions:
-
-- `list`, `poll`, `log`, `write`, `kill`, `clear`, `remove`
-
-Notes:
-
-- `poll` returns new output and exit status when complete.
-- `log` supports line-based `offset`/`limit` (omit `offset` to grab the last N lines).
-- `process` is scoped per agent; sessions from other agents are not visible.
-
-### `loop-detection` (tool-call loop guardrails)
-
-Symi tracks recent tool-call history and blocks or warns when it detects repetitive no-progress loops.
-Enable with `tools.loopDetection.enabled: true` (default is `false`).
-
-```json5
-{
-  tools: {
-    loopDetection: {
-      enabled: true,
-      warningThreshold: 10,
-      criticalThreshold: 20,
-      globalCircuitBreakerThreshold: 30,
-      historySize: 30,
-      detectors: {
-        genericRepeat: true,
-        knownPollNoProgress: true,
-        pingPong: true,
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-- `genericRepeat`: repeated same tool + same params call pattern.
-- `knownPollNoProgress`: repeating poll-like tools with identical outputs.
-- `pingPong`: alternating `A/B/A/B` no-progress patterns.
-- Per-agent override: `agents.list[].tools.loopDetection`.
-
-### `web_search`
-
-Search the web using Brave Search API.
-
-Core parameters:
-
-- `query` (required)
-- `count` (1–10; default from `tools.web.search.maxResults`)
-
-Notes:
-
-- Requires a Brave API key (recommended: `symi configure --section web`, or set `BRAVE_API_KEY`).
-- Enable via `tools.web.search.enabled`.
-- Responses are cached (default 15 min).
-- See [Web tools](/tools/web) for setup.
-
-### `web_fetch`
-
-Fetch and extract readable content from a URL (HTML → markdown/text).
-
-Core parameters:
-
-- `url` (required)
-- `extractMode` (`markdown` | `text`)
-- `maxChars` (truncate long pages)
-
-Notes:
-
-- Enable via `tools.web.fetch.enabled`.
-- `maxChars` is clamped by `tools.web.fetch.maxCharsCap` (default 50000).
-- Responses are cached (default 15 min).
-- For JS-heavy sites, prefer the browser tool.
-- See [Web tools](/tools/web) for setup.
-- See [Firecrawl](/tools/firecrawl) for the optional anti-bot fallback.
-
-### `browser`
-
-Control the dedicated Symi-managed browser.
-
-Core actions:
-
-- `status`, `start`, `stop`, `tabs`, `open`, `focus`, `close`
-- `snapshot` (aria/ai)
-- `screenshot` (returns image block + `MEDIA:<path>`)
-- `act` (UI actions: click/type/press/hover/drag/select/fill/resize/wait/evaluate)
-- `navigate`, `console`, `pdf`, `upload`, `dialog`
-
-Profile management:
-
-- `profiles` — list all browser profiles with status
-- `create-profile` — create new profile with auto-allocated port (or `cdpUrl`)
-- `delete-profile` — stop browser, delete user data, remove from config (local only)
-- `reset-profile` — kill orphan process on profile's port (local only)
-
-Common parameters:
-
-- `profile` (optional; defaults to `browser.defaultProfile`)
-- `target` (`sandbox` | `host` | `node`)
-- `node` (optional; picks a specific node id/name)
-  Notes:
-- Requires `browser.enabled=true` (default is `true`; set `false` to disable).
-- All actions accept optional `profile` parameter for multi-instance support.
-- When `profile` is omitted, uses `browser.defaultProfile` (defaults to "chrome").
-- Profile names: lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens only (max 64 chars).
-- Port range: 18800-18899 (~100 profiles max).
-- Remote profiles are attach-only (no start/stop/reset).
-- If a browser-capable node is connected, the tool may auto-route to it (unless you pin `target`).
-- `snapshot` defaults to `ai` when Playwright is installed; use `aria` for the accessibility tree.
-- `snapshot` also supports role-snapshot options (`interactive`, `compact`, `depth`, `selector`) which return refs like `e12`.
-- `act` requires `ref` from `snapshot` (numeric `12` from AI snapshots, or `e12` from role snapshots); use `evaluate` for rare CSS selector needs.
-- Avoid `act` → `wait` by default; use it only in exceptional cases (no reliable UI state to wait on).
-- `upload` can optionally pass a `ref` to auto-click after arming.
-- `upload` also supports `inputRef` (aria ref) or `element` (CSS selector) to set `<input type="file">` directly.
-
-### `canvas`
-
-Drive the node Canvas (present, eval, snapshot, A2UI).
-
-Core actions:
-
-- `present`, `hide`, `navigate`, `eval`
-- `snapshot` (returns image block + `MEDIA:<path>`)
-- `a2ui_push`, `a2ui_reset`
-
-Notes:
-
-- Uses gateway `node.invoke` under the hood.
-- If no `node` is provided, the tool picks a default (single connected node or local mac node).
-- A2UI is v0.8 only (no `createSurface`); the CLI rejects v0.9 JSONL with line errors.
-- Quick smoke: `symi nodes canvas a2ui push --node <id> --text "Hello from A2UI"`.
-
-### `nodes`
-
-Discover and target paired nodes; send notifications; capture camera/screen.
-
-Core actions:
-
-- `status`, `describe`
-- `pending`, `approve`, `reject` (pairing)
-- `notify` (macOS `system.notify`)
-- `run` (macOS `system.run`)
-- `camera_snap`, `camera_clip`, `screen_record`
-- `location_get`
-
-Notes:
-
-- Camera/screen commands require the node app to be foregrounded.
-- Images return image blocks + `MEDIA:<path>`.
-- Videos return `FILE:<path>` (mp4).
-- Location returns a JSON payload (lat/lon/accuracy/timestamp).
-- `run` params: `command` argv array; optional `cwd`, `env` (`KEY=VAL`), `commandTimeoutMs`, `invokeTimeoutMs`, `needsScreenRecording`.
-
-Example (`run`):
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "run",
-  "node": "office-mac",
-  "command": ["echo", "Hello"],
-  "env": ["FOO=bar"],
-  "commandTimeoutMs": 12000,
-  "invokeTimeoutMs": 45000,
-  "needsScreenRecording": false
-}
-```
-
-### `image`
-
-Analyze an image with the configured image model.
-
-Core parameters:
-
-- `image` (required path or URL)
-- `prompt` (optional; defaults to "Describe the image.")
-- `model` (optional override)
-- `maxBytesMb` (optional size cap)
-
-Notes:
-
-- Only available when `agents.defaults.imageModel` is configured (primary or fallbacks), or when an implicit image model can be inferred from your default model + configured auth (best-effort pairing).
-- Uses the image model directly (independent of the main chat model).
-
-### `message`
-
-Core actions:
-
-- `send` (text + optional media; MS Teams also supports `card` for Adaptive Cards)
-- `react` / `reactions` / `read` / `edit` / `delete`
-- `pin` / `unpin` / `list-pins`
-- `permissions`
-- `thread-create` / `thread-list` / `thread-reply`
-- `search`
-- `sticker`
-- `member-info` / `role-info`
-- `emoji-list` / `emoji-upload` / `sticker-upload`
-- `role-add` / `role-remove`
-- `channel-info` / `channel-list`
-- `voice-status`
-- `event-list` / `event-create`
-- `timeout` / `kick` / `ban`
-
-Notes:
-
-- `send` routes WhatsApp via the Gateway; other channels go direct.
-- When a message tool call is bound to an active chat session, sends are constrained to that session’s target to avoid cross-context leaks.
-
-### `cron`
-
-Manage Gateway cron jobs and wakeups.
-
-Core actions:
-
-- `status`, `list`
-- `add`, `update`, `remove`, `run`, `runs`
-- `wake` (enqueue system event + optional immediate heartbeat)
-
-Notes:
-
-- `add` expects a full cron job object (same schema as `cron.add` RPC).
-- `update` uses `{ jobId, patch }` (`id` accepted for compatibility).
-
-### `gateway`
-
-Restart or apply updates to the running Gateway process (in-place).
-
-Core actions:
-
-- `restart` (authorizes + sends `SIGUSR1` for in-process restart; `symi gateway` restart in-place)
-- `config.get` / `config.schema`
-- `config.apply` (validate + write config + restart + wake)
-- `config.patch` (merge partial update + restart + wake)
-- `update.run` (run update + restart + wake)
-
-Notes:
-
-- Use `delayMs` (defaults to 2000) to avoid interrupting an in-flight reply.
-- `restart` is enabled by default; set `commands.restart: false` to disable it.
-
-### `sessions_list` / `sessions_history` / `sessions_send` / `sessions_spawn` / `session_status`
-
-List sessions, inspect transcript history, or send to another session.
-
-Core parameters:
-
-- `sessions_list`: `kinds?`, `limit?`, `activeMinutes?`, `messageLimit?` (0 = none)
-- `sessions_history`: `sessionKey` (or `sessionId`), `limit?`, `includeTools?`
-- `sessions_send`: `sessionKey` (or `sessionId`), `message`, `timeoutSeconds?` (0 = fire-and-forget)
-- `sessions_spawn`: `task`, `label?`, `agentId?`, `model?`, `runTimeoutSeconds?`, `cleanup?`
-- `session_status`: `sessionKey?` (default current; accepts `sessionId`), `model?` (`default` clears override)
-
-Notes:
-
-- `main` is the canonical direct-chat key; global/unknown are hidden.
-- `messageLimit > 0` fetches last N messages per session (tool messages filtered).
-- Session targeting is controlled by `tools.sessions.visibility` (default `tree`: current session + spawned subagent sessions). If you run a shared agent for multiple users, consider setting `tools.sessions.visibility: "self"` to prevent cross-session browsing.
-- `sessions_send` waits for final completion when `timeoutSeconds > 0`.
-- Delivery/announce happens after completion and is best-effort; `status: "ok"` confirms the agent run finished, not that the announce was delivered.
-- `sessions_spawn` starts a sub-agent run and posts an announce reply back to the requester chat.
-  - Reply format includes `Status`, `Result`, and compact stats.
-  - `Result` is the assistant completion text; if missing, the latest `toolResult` is used as fallback.
-- Manual completion-mode spawns send directly first, with queue fallback and retry on transient failures (`status: "ok"` means run finished, not that announce delivered).
-- `sessions_spawn` is non-blocking and returns `status: "accepted"` immediately.
-- `sessions_send` runs a reply‑back ping‑pong (reply `REPLY_SKIP` to stop; max turns via `session.agentToAgent.maxPingPongTurns`, 0–5).
-- After the ping‑pong, the target agent runs an **announce step**; reply `ANNOUNCE_SKIP` to suppress the announcement.
-- Sandbox clamp: when the current session is sandboxed and `agents.defaults.sandbox.sessionToolsVisibility: "spawned"`, Symi clamps `tools.sessions.visibility` to `tree`.
-
-### `agents_list`
-
-List agent ids that the current session may target with `sessions_spawn`.
-
-Notes:
-
-- Result is restricted to per-agent allowlists (`agents.list[].subagents.allowAgents`).
-- When `["*"]` is configured, the tool includes all configured agents and marks `allowAny: true`.
-
-## Parameters (common)
-
-Gateway-backed tools (`canvas`, `nodes`, `cron`):
-
-- `gatewayUrl` (default `ws://127.0.0.1:18789`)
-- `gatewayToken` (if auth enabled)
-- `timeoutMs`
-
-Note: when `gatewayUrl` is set, include `gatewayToken` explicitly. Tools do not inherit config
-or environment credentials for overrides, and missing explicit credentials is an error.
-
-Browser tool:
-
-- `profile` (optional; defaults to `browser.defaultProfile`)
-- `target` (`sandbox` | `host` | `node`)
-- `node` (optional; pin a specific node id/name)
-
-## Recommended agent flows
-
-Browser automation:
-
-1. `browser` → `status` / `start`
-2. `snapshot` (ai or aria)
-3. `act` (click/type/press)
-4. `screenshot` if you need visual confirmation
-
-Canvas render:
-
-1. `canvas` → `present`
-2. `a2ui_push` (optional)
-3. `snapshot`
-
-Node targeting:
-
-1. `nodes` → `status`
-2. `describe` on the chosen node
-3. `notify` / `run` / `camera_snap` / `screen_record`
-
-## Safety
-
-- Avoid direct `system.run`; use `nodes` → `run` only with explicit user consent.
-- Respect user consent for camera/screen capture.
-- Use `status/describe` to ensure permissions before invoking media commands.
-
-## How tools are presented to the agent
-
-Tools are exposed in two parallel channels:
-
-1. **System prompt text**: a human-readable list + guidance.
-2. **Tool schema**: the structured function definitions sent to the model API.
-
-That means the agent sees both “what tools exist” and “how to call them.” If a tool
-doesn’t appear in the system prompt or the schema, the model cannot call it.

----
-
-# LLM Task
-
-`llm-task` is an **optional plugin tool** that runs a JSON-only LLM task and
-returns structured output (optionally validated against JSON Schema).
-
-This is ideal for workflow engines like Pipeline: you can add a single LLM step
-without writing custom Symi code for each workflow.
-
-## Enable the plugin
-
-1. Enable the plugin:
-
-```json
-{
-  "plugins": {
-    "entries": {
-      "llm-task": { "enabled": true }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-2. Allowlist the tool (it is registered with `optional: true`):
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "list": [
-      {
-        "id": "main",
-        "tools": { "allow": ["llm-task"] }
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```

-## Config (optional)
-
-```json
-{
-  "plugins": {
-    "entries": {
-      "llm-task": {
-        "enabled": true,
-        "config": {
-          "defaultProvider": "openai-codex",
-          "defaultModel": "gpt-5.2",

-          "timeoutMs": 30000
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`allowedModels` is an allowlist of `provider/model` strings. If set, any request
-outside the list is rejected.
-
-## Tool parameters
-
-- `prompt` (string, required)
-- `input` (any, optional)
-- `schema` (object, optional JSON Schema)
-- `provider` (string, optional)
-- `model` (string, optional)
-- `authProfileId` (string, optional)
-- `temperature` (number, optional)
-- `maxTokens` (number, optional)
-- `timeoutMs` (number, optional)
-
-## Output
-
-Returns `details.json` containing the parsed JSON (and validates against
-`schema` when provided).
-
-## Example: Pipeline workflow step
-
-```pipeline
-symi.invoke --tool llm-task --action json --args-json '{
-  "prompt": "Given the input email, return intent and draft.",
-  "input": {
-    "subject": "Hello",
-    "body": "Can you help?"
-  },
-  "schema": {
-    "type": "object",
-    "properties": {
-      "intent": { "type": "string" },
-      "draft": { "type": "string" }
-    },
-    "required": ["intent", "draft"],
-    "additionalProperties": false
-  }
-}'
-```
-
-## Safety notes
-
-- The tool is **JSON-only** and instructs the model to output only JSON (no
-  code fences, no commentary).
-- No tools are exposed to the model for this run.
-- Treat output as untrusted unless you validate with `schema`.
-- Put approvals before any side-effecting step (send, post, exec).
