+### h. Action capabilities (2.4.0+)
+
+The runtime reasons about *what a task needs to be able to do*, not just which provider to call. Ask what
+a goal would require, or list the curated action vocabulary:
+
+```bash
+ai-runtime capabilities --actions           # the curated capability catalog
+ai-runtime capabilities "refactor the auth module"   # the actions this goal implies
+```
+
+Config (`runtime.capabilities`): `catalog` enriches the planner's catalog and is **ON by default since
+3.0.0** (set `catalog: false` to remove it); `planning` (default OFF) derives a goal's required
+capabilities before planning and reports gaps — it is advisory and never blocks a run or grants anything.
+In the terminal, `/capabilities <goal>` does the same.
+
+### i. MCP servers (2.5.0+)
+
+Attach tools from external [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) servers. They are added locally (your
+config file is never edited), credentials are named by env var (never inlined), and each server's tools
+are permission-gated like any other:
+
+```bash
+ai-runtime mcp add docs --command "npx -y @some/docs-mcp" --token-env DOCS_TOKEN
+ai-runtime mcp test docs        # connect, handshake, list tools, ping
+ai-runtime mcp                  # list servers;  mcp show <id> for one in detail
+```
+
+```yaml
+# .ai-runtime/config.yaml
+mcp:
+  servers:
+    docs: { transport: stdio, command: "npx -y @some/docs-mcp", tokenEnv: DOCS_TOKEN }
+permissions:
+  mcp: { servers: { docs: read } }   # off | read | full
+```
+
+Then pass `mcp: true` on a run (needs a tool-calling model). Server-supplied text is treated as untrusted
+data, never instructions. In the terminal: `/mcp` and `/mcp <id>`.
+
+### j. Agents (2.7.0+)
+
+A goal can delegate bounded, read-shaped sub-work to an agent (a third kind of plan step). Agents run
+inside an explicit envelope — a ceiling of tools, permissions, and call/time budgets — and their findings
+are admitted only after passing an output-contract and a validation gate.
+
+```yaml
+# .ai-runtime/config.yaml
+runtime:
+  agents:
+    enabled: true       # default OFF
+    decompose: true     # allow a goal to delegate to a derived, read-only agent nobody configured (default OFF)
+```
+
+A derived agent's permissions are a **ceiling, never a default**, and no model-authored string ever
+becomes a tool id, objective, or permission (the `auto_` id prefix is reserved). In the terminal,
+`/agents` lists agent tasks with progress and `/agents stop <id>` stops one.
