# self-modification/ — the agent modifies its own runtime

English | [中文](README.zh.md)

Model-facing tools over the live cordis runtime the agent itself runs inside: inspect the loaded plugins and service API, mount model-written plugins, and dispose them again. The group is the landing zone for future self-modification packages. Design home: [the toolset Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-08-self-referential-cordis-toolset.md).
