System & Utilities

The agent needs to do more than think - it needs to do. These tools cover the outer loop of development and system operation.

Shell​

ToolWhat it does
bashRun a shell command

Process management​

ToolWhat it does
process_listList running processes
process_cancelKill a process by PID

Developer utilities​

ToolWhat it does
node_runRun a Node.js script inline
npm_listList installed npm packages
npm_checkCheck for outdated or security-vulnerable packages
scheduleSchedule a one-shot callback (one-off, not recurring)

What these cover that the coder tools don't​

The coder family is file-centric. System & Utilities covers everything around the files - running dev servers, tailing logs, killing a hung process, running one-off scripts.
