Tools
Tools are executable capabilities discovered from the workspace, MCP servers, and connected apps. The Studio catalog is intentionally read-only.

- 19.01Tools overview
- 19.02Built-in tool catalogWorkspace built-ins can include file, shell, browser, and other Runtime capabilities. The live catalog is the authority; a fixed documentation list would become stale.
- 19.03How agents select toolsAn agent can request only capabilities it can discover from its configuration and the active Runtime. Relevance does not override authority.
- 19.04Tool inputs and resultsTool calls stay visible in the task transcript so you can inspect what was requested and what the Runtime returned.
- 19.05Tool permissions and approvalsTool access is layered: agent assignment, task mode, operating-system permission, connected-account scope, and hard Runtime policy all apply.
- 19.06Handle tool failuresA failed tool row is evidence about one action, not proof that the whole task or connection is broken.
- 19.07Connect additional toolsStudio does not author executable tools. Add capability by connecting an app or MCP integration, or by changing the workspace Runtime outside this catalog.
