Overview ​

Local tools let agents interact with the workspace, remote hosts, and external services across files, email, search, multimodal, and remote terminals. Each tool has its own page grouped by capability.

📂 Directory ​

  • File Tools: Create/read/move/delete files and folders; list directory trees.
  • Email Tools: Receive IMAP mail; send HTML mail with CC/BCC.
  • Search Tools: Local/AIDP/DataMate/Dify KB search plus Exa/Tavily/Linkup web search.
  • Multimodal Tools: Download/parse/analyze text files and images.
  • Terminal Tool: Persistent SSH sessions for remote commands.
  • SQL Tools: Connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server to execute SQL queries.
  • Skills: Nexent's built-in tool combinations or custom capability packs with NL generation and version management.

⚙️ Configuration Entry ​

  1. Go to Agent Development.
  2. In “Select Agent Tools,” find the tool and open configuration.
  3. Fill connection/auth parameters, save, and run a test connection first.

💡 Usage Tips ​

  • File paths must stay inside the workspace and use relative paths.
  • Set API keys for public search in the platform’s secure config.
  • Terminal access touches remote hosts—confirm network and account controls.
  • Delete/move operations are irreversible; double-check targets first.
