Reference

Tools

The tools LoopCode's agent works with — files, search, shell, git, web, browser, Office documents, code intelligence, subagents, tasks and memory. Use these names in permission rules and hooks.

These are the names the agent and your permission rules and hook matchers use. Tools from MCP servers are added as mcp__<server>__<tool>.

Files

Tool	Does
`Read`	Read a file, or a line range: text, or the text of a PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel or OpenDocument file
`Write`	Create or replace a file. An existing file must be read first in the session
`Edit`	Replace one unique block of text with new text
`MultiEdit`	Several replacements in one file, as one reviewed diff
`ApplyPatch`	Add, update, move or delete several files in one call, all or nothing
`ListFiles`	List files recursively, skipping dependency, version-control and sensitive folders
`Glob`	Find files by a pattern such as `*/.ts`
`Grep`	Search files with a regular expression (ripgrep when available)
`ViewImage`	Look at an image in the project: a screenshot, a diagram, a design mock

Commands

Tool	Does
`Bash`	Run a shell command in the project, in the sandbox when it is on
`Terminal`	Run a command in a pseudo-terminal; long-lived ones (dev servers, watchers) keep running
`Terminals`	List the running terminals, or read one's output
`Monitor`	Watch something in the background and react as it changes: a log, CI, a deploy
`TaskOutput`	Read the output of a background task
`TaskStop`	Stop a background task

Git

Tool	Does
`Git`	Read git state: status, diffs, logs, branches
`GitWrite`	Add, commit, restore, stash or check out. Always asks, except when permissions are skipped. Never pushes or changes remotes

Code intelligence

Tool	Does
`Lsp`	Definition, references, callers and callees, implementations, hover, outline, workspace symbols and diagnostics
`LspRename`	Rename a symbol everywhere it is used, as one reviewed diff

Web and browser

Tool	Does
`WebSearch`	Search the public web for docs and references
`WebFetch`	Fetch a public URL as text. Private, loopback and metadata addresses are refused
`Browser`	Drive the browser: open pages, click, type, scroll, take screenshots
`BrowserRead`	Read what is on the page
`BrowserScript`	Run a script in the page

Office documents

Tool	Does
`OfficeScript`	Run a builder script that writes Word, PowerPoint or Excel files, and check what it wrote

LoopCode also checks existing documents, lists the available styles, and looks at pages as images. See Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

Subagents

Tool	Does
`Explore`	A read-only subagent that answers a question about the code
`Agent`	A subagent that makes a bounded change and runs the checks that cover it (optionally in its own worktree)
`Verify`	A subagent that runs tests, builds, typechecks and the app, and reports
`SendInput`	Send a follow-up to a subagent, keeping what it has done
`WaitAgent`	Wait for subagents and get their reports
`CloseAgent`	Close a subagent no longer needed

Your custom subagents appear as tools too.

Planning, questions and proof

Tool	Does
`TodoWrite`	Keep the task checklist you see during a turn
`SubmitPlan`	Submit a plan for your approval (Plan mode)
`AskUser`	Ask you a question, with options
`Prove`	Cite evidence for each acceptance criterion before finishing. See Proof of done
`SubmitFindings`	Submit the structured result of a review
`UpdateGoal`	Mark the active goal complete, blocked or paused

Memory and context

Tool	Does
`Remember`	Save a lasting preference or correction to memory
`Recall`, `MemoryRead`, `MemorySearch`, `TaskHistory`	Read memory, this conversation's notes, and earlier conversations in the project
`LogWrite`	Append a durable note to the conversation
`ContextStatus`	How full the context window is
`NewContext`	Start a fresh context window at a natural boundary
`RetrieveOutput`	Read a tool result that was cleared from context
`Skill`	Load a skill
`SearchTools`	Load tools that are listed but not loaded yet (MCP tools load on demand)

Scheduling

Tool	Does
`CronCreate`	Schedule a prompt: a recurring job or a one-off reminder
`CronList`	List the scheduled jobs
`CronDelete`	Cancel a scheduled job
`ScheduleWakeup`	For a self-paced `/loop`: end this turn and come back later

MCP

Tool	Does
`ListMcpResources`	List the resources connected MCP servers offer
`ReadMcpResource`	Read one by its URI
`mcp__<server>__<tool>`	A connected server's tools
