Forge a tool

The Tool Forge is where a new tool for the agent is built without writing code: it puts together capabilities TALOS already has, and decides what happens under which conditions. The agent can propose one with tool_create; you decide whether it runs.

The capabilities

There are eight, and a forged tool can use only these:

Capability	Does	Risk
List tasks	Reads	R1
Create a task	Writes	R2
Change a task	Writes	R2
List notes	Reads	R1
Write a note	Writes	R2
Change a note	Writes	R2
Search memory	Reads	R2
Write to memory	Writes	R3

A forged tool carries the risk of its riskiest capability. Searching memory only reads, yet it is R2: memory is read again by the model in every future conversation, so reading it is not as harmless as reading a note. A forged tool has no access to the disk, the network or the terminal.

Turn one on

1. Open Tool Forge in the sidebar.
2. Select a tool to see its detail: capabilities, risk and when it was installed.
3. Enable or disable it from the detail.

An enabled tool joins the agent’s tools and follows the rules of each tool like every other.

If something goes wrong

• A forged tool is never used — check that it is enabled, and that its rule is not set to deny.
• Unrecognized capability — the tool declares a capability this version does not know.
• No description, or no state — the row says so instead of guessing.
