Tools

MushroomAgent extends agent capabilities through tools and Skills. Tools are typed functions that agents can call, while Skills provide domain knowledge and operational guidance.

Tools, Skills

1. Tools are what agents call

   Tools are typed functions that agents can invoke (such as exec, read, write, web_fetch). MushroomAgent comes with built-in tools, and Skills can also provide additional tools and workflow guidance.

2. Skills provide domain knowledge

   A Skill is a directory containing SKILL.md that provides operational procedures, best practices, and scripts for specific domains. The agent automatically matches and loads relevant Skills based on request context.

Built-in Tools

Skills

Skills are stored in workspace.path/skills/ by default. For the local starter created by mushroom-agent init, that resolves to ~/.mushroom_agent/skills/.
