# Tool Schema Catalog

Every model-facing tool a shipped plugin contributes to `ctx.tools`: the `name`, `description`, and JSON-Schema `parameters` the model receives via the system-prompt assembly. It complements the [cordis events & services catalog](../cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md) (the wiring a plugin listens to and calls) and [core-data-structures/](../core-data-structures/core.md) (the types those signatures move) — this page is the *tools* the agent is offered.

This file is GENERATED and verified fresh by `pnpm run verify-tool-catalog` (part of `doc-sync`) — do not edit it by hand. Unlike the cordis catalog (a pure source-AST pass), this generator BOOTS each tool plugin on a real context and reads `ctx.tools.schemas()`, because a tool schema is not statically knowable (runtime-spread enums, concatenated descriptions, config-driven names, raw-JSON-Schema MCP tools). A completeness guard globs `packages/*/tool-*` and fails if any package is missing from the generator's boot manifest, so a new tool cannot be silently undocumented. See [the tool-schema-catalog RFC](../rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-02-tool-schema-catalog.md).

Scope: shipped product tools under `packages/*/tool-*`, each booted with its DEFAULT config. The registered tool NAME can be a load-time config (e.g. `tool-subagent`'s `toolName`), so a deployment may surface a package under a different or additional name — a per-package note records those shipped aliases where they exist. The `examples/` demo tools (e.g. `echo`) are excluded, matching the cordis catalog's packages-only scope.

## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash`

### `bash`

Execute a bash command (`bash -c`) and return its stdout/stderr. Each call runs in a fresh shell: no state (cwd, variables, functions) persists between calls — pass `workdir` instead of using `cd`. Non-zero exits are reported as `[exit code: N]`. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; poll it with `bash_output` and stop it with `bash_kill`.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "command": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The bash command to execute."
    },
    "description": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Clear, concise description of what this command does in active voice, 5-10 words (shown in the UI). Examples: \"ls\" → \"List files in current directory\"; \"git status\" → \"Show working tree status\"; \"npm install\" → \"Install package dependencies\"."
    },
    "timeoutMs": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Timeout in milliseconds. The executor applies its configured default and cap, and kills the command on expiry."
    },
    "workdir": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Working directory for this command. Defaults to the session workspace; a relative path is resolved against it."
    },
    "run_in_background": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "Run in the background and return a task id immediately. No timeout applies."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "command",
    "description"
  ]
}
```

Source: [`packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`](../../packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts)

### `bash_kill`

Ask the executor to kill a running background bash task by task id.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "task_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Task id returned by the bash tool."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "task_id"
  ]
}
```

Source: [`packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`](../../packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts)

### `bash_output`

Read new output from a background bash task started with `bash` + `run_in_background`. Returns only output produced since the previous bash_output call, plus the task status. Tasks keep running while you do other work; poll again later for more output.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "task_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Task id returned by the bash tool."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "task_id"
  ]
}
```

## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs`

### `edit`

Edit an existing UTF-8 text file by replacing literal text.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "file_path": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Path to edit, resolved by the filesystem backend."
    },
    "old_string": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Literal text to replace. Must match exactly."
    },
    "new_string": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Literal replacement text. Use an empty string to delete the match."
    },
    "replace_all": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "Replace all matches. Defaults to false; when false, old_string must appear exactly once."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "file_path",
    "old_string",
    "new_string"
  ]
}
```

Source: [`packages/fs/tool-fs/src/index.ts`](../../packages/fs/tool-fs/src/index.ts)

### `read`

Read a UTF-8 text file and return line-numbered content.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "file_path": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Path to read, resolved by the filesystem backend."
    },
    "offset": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "1-based first line to return. Defaults to 1."
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Maximum number of lines to return. Defaults to 2000."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "file_path"
  ]
}
```

Source: [`packages/fs/tool-fs/src/index.ts`](../../packages/fs/tool-fs/src/index.ts)

### `write`

Create or fully replace a UTF-8 text file.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "file_path": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Path to write, resolved by the filesystem backend."
    },
    "content": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Full UTF-8 text content to write."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "file_path",
    "content"
  ]
}
```

Source: [`packages/fs/tool-fs/src/index.ts`](../../packages/fs/tool-fs/src/index.ts)

The read-before-write/edit policy is added by `@deepseek-ai/dsh-fs-policy` (an `fs/*` event-gate plugin, no schema change); a deployment that loads these tools is expected to also load it. The tool schemas above are identical with or without the policy plugin.

## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-subagent`

### `subagent`

Delegate a self-contained task to a subagent (a separate agent that works in its own context) and return its final result. Use this to offload focused, independent work — research, a scoped implementation, an analysis — so it does not consume this conversation's context. The subagent runs to completion and you receive only its final answer, not its intermediate steps. Give it a complete, standalone prompt: it does not see this conversation.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "description": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "A short (3-5 word) description of the delegated task, for display."
    },
    "prompt": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The complete, self-contained task for the subagent. It does not share this conversation's context, so include everything it needs."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "description",
    "prompt"
  ]
}
```

Source: [`packages/subagent/tool-subagent/src/index.ts`](../../packages/subagent/tool-subagent/src/index.ts)

The registered tool name is the load-time `toolName` config (default `subagent`); the schema above is that default. The shipped example agents load this package once per subagent backend, so the model additionally sees `subagent_fork` (bound to the fork backend) with an identical schema — see `examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml` and `examples/acp-agent/cordis.yml`.

## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo`

### `todo_write`

Record and update a structured task list for the current work. Send the ENTIRE list every call — it REPLACES the previous list (there are no partial updates, no per-item edits). Use it to plan multi-step work and show progress: add one todo per concrete step before you start. Keep AT MOST ONE todo `in_progress` at a time; while work remains, exactly one active task should be `in_progress`. Mark a todo `completed` the moment it is done (do not batch completions), and allow no `in_progress` item only once all work is complete. Skip the list for trivial single-step tasks. Statuses: `pending` (not started), `in_progress` (being worked on now), `completed` (finished).

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "todos": {
      "type": "array",
      "description": "The COMPLETE task list, replacing any previous list.",
      "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "content": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "What the task is — a short imperative line."
          },
          "status": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "pending (not started) | in_progress (now) | completed (done).",
            "enum": [
              "pending",
              "in_progress",
              "completed"
            ]
          }
        },
        "required": [
          "content",
          "status"
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "todos"
  ]
}
```

## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-web`

### `web_fetch`

Fetch the content of a specific HTTP(S) URL and return it decoded to text.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "url": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The HTTP(S) URL to fetch."
    },
    "timeout_ms": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Optional fetch timeout in milliseconds (capped by the provider)."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "url"
  ]
}
```

Source: [`packages/web/tool-web/src/index.ts`](../../packages/web/tool-web/src/index.ts)

### `web_search`

Search the web for current information. Returns an optional summary answer and a list of source URLs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The search query."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "query"
  ]
}
```
