|
|
|
+description: Manage the tools an LLM can use.
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tools allow the LLM to perform actions in your codebase. OpenCode comes with a set of built-in tools, but you can extend it with [custom tools](/docs/custom-tools) or [MCP servers](/docs/mcp-servers).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+By default, all tools are **enabled** and don't need permission to run. But you can configure this and control the [permissions](/docs/permissions) through your config.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Configure
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can configure tools globally or per agent. Agent-specific configs override global settings.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+By default, all tools are set to `true`. To disable a tool, set it to `false`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Global
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Disable or enable tools globally using the `tools` option.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```json title="opencode.json"
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
|
|
|
+ "tools": {
|
|
|
+ "write": false,
|
|
|
+ "bash": false,
|
|
|
+ "webfetch": true
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can also use wildcards to control multiple tools at once. For example, to disable all tools from an MCP server:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```json title="opencode.json"
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
|
|
|
+ "tools": {
|
|
|
+ "mymcp_*": false
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Per agent
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Override global tool settings for specific agents using the `tools` config in the agent definition.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```json title="opencode.json" {3-6,9-12}
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
|
|
|
+ "tools": {
|
|
|
+ "write": true,
|
|
|
+ "bash": true
|
|
|
+ },
|
|
|
+ "agent": {
|
|
|
+ "plan": {
|
|
|
+ "tools": {
|
|
|
+ "write": false,
|
|
|
+ "bash": false
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For example, here the `plan` agent overrides the global config to disable `write` and `bash` tools.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can also configure tools for agents in Markdown.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```markdown title="~/.config/opencode/agent/readonly.md"
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+description: Read-only analysis agent
|
|
|
+mode: subagent
|
|
|
+tools:
|
|
|
+ write: false
|
|
|
+ edit: false
|
|
|
+ bash: false
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Analyze code without making any modifications.
|
|
|
+```

|
|
|
+## Built-in
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Here are all the built-in tools available in OpenCode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### bash
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Execute shell commands in your project environment.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```json title="opencode.json" {4}
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
|
|
|
+ "tools": {
|
|
|
+ "bash": true
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This tool allows the LLM to run terminal commands like `npm install`, `git status`, or any other shell command.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### edit
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Modify existing files using exact string replacements.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```json title="opencode.json" {4}
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
|
|
|
+ "tools": {
|
|
|
+ "edit": true
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This tool performs precise edits to files by replacing exact text matches. It's the primary way the LLM modifies code.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### write
|
|

|
+ "tools": {
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|

|
+## Custom tools
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Custom tools let you define your own functions that the LLM can call. These are defined in your config file and can execute arbitrary code.

|
+## MCP servers
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers allow you to integrate external tools and services. This includes database access, API integrations, and third-party services.

|
|
|
+## Internals
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Internally, tools like `grep`, `glob`, and `list` use [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) under the hood. By default, ripgrep respects `.gitignore` patterns, which means files and directories listed in your `.gitignore` will be excluded from searches and listings.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Override ignore patterns
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To include files that would normally be ignored, create a `.ignore` file in your project root. This file can explicitly allow certain paths.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```text title=".ignore"
|
|
|
+!node_modules/
|
|
|
+!dist/
|
|
|
+!build/
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For example, this `.ignore` file allows ripgrep to search within `node_modules/`, `dist/`, and `build/` directories even if they're listed in `.gitignore`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The `.ignore` file follows ripgrep's ignore file syntax. Patterns prefixed with `!` negate the ignore rules from `.gitignore`.
