Features — > tool

> tool_os is a browser-based operating system with a spatial window manager. Every app runs as a floating window inside the workspace. The AI agent can interact with all of them. Apps are organized into two groups: Workstation for your daily development work, and Mission Control for governance, auditing, and administration.

The tools you use every day. Chat with AI, browse the web, write code, design interfaces, run notebooks, and manage tasks — all in one workspace with shared context.

Dashboard with activity feed, system status, and quick-launch tiles. Your starting point after login.

Conversational AI with any provider. SSE streaming, syntax-highlighted code blocks, tool call indicators. The primary interface for agent interaction.

Integrated code environment. Write, edit, and run code with the agent's assistance. Syntax highlighting, multi-file support, and direct agent access to the same files.

File browser with syntax highlighting, directory tree navigation, and file operations. The agent can read and write to the same file system.

Visual design surface with the Canvas/Slab/Block composition model. Drag blocks, arrange layouts, and build apps from prompts. The agent can create and modify canvas content.

Computational notebooks with code cells, live output, and markdown. Data exploration, prototyping, and documentation in one surface.

Built-in web browser with server-side proxy at /api/browse. The agent can navigate, read page content, take screenshots, and extract data from any website.

Kanban-style task management. Create, organize, and track work items. Drag cards between columns. The agent can create and update tasks.

Architecture visualization. See system components, their relationships, and data flows as an interactive diagram.

Agent memory browser. See what the agent remembers across sessions — project context, user preferences, and learned patterns.

Schedule agent tasks to run on a recurring basis. Cron-style scheduling for automated workflows, reports, and maintenance.

Prompt-driven SVG wallpaper generator. Describe a visual theme and the agent generates a workspace background.

Provider selection, API key configuration, theme preferences, and workspace settings.

Shared knowledge base for your workspace. Documents, references, and context the agent can draw on across conversations.

Browse and manage available tools, skills, and MCP servers the agent can use. See what capabilities are loaded and their permission status.

The governance layer that makes AI agent access safe for production use. Access control, cost tracking, quarantine gates, audit trails, and organizational administration.

RBAC entity management. Create and manage roles, assign permissions, and test access policies for humans, agents, pipelines, and service accounts.

Real-time session cost tracking by provider and model. See exactly what each agent session costs. Per-task cost averages and budget alerts.

AI-generated code review gate. When the policy engine quarantines a tool call, it lands here for human review. Approve or reject with full context.

Performance testing and profiling. Measure response times, tool execution latency, and provider throughput.

Configuration drift detection. Monitors for differences between expected and actual state across infrastructure, settings, and policies.

Git-backed change provenance. Every modification traces back to who made it, when, and why. Full audit trail for compliance.

Session replay. Reconstruct any agent session step by step — every tool call, every response, every policy decision. Full timeline view.

Plugin and tool marketplace. Browse, search, and install tools, skills, plugins, and MCP servers. Governed by default — every package ships with an opentool.json manifest.

Mission Control dashboard. Organization management, user administration, invite links, and membership management. The control center for your workspace.

Policy violation alerts and notifications. Get notified when agents hit guardrails, costs exceed thresholds, or anomalous behavior is detected.

Compliance dashboard showing policy adherence across all entities. Track which agents follow which rules, export audit reports for review.

Searchable log of every action taken by every entity. Filter by user, agent, time range, or action type. Full provenance chain for every event.
