Native Tools Reference (gsv__*)

Native tools are built into the Gateway and available to agents without a connected node. All native tool names are prefixed with gsv__. Tool names are case-sensitive.

Native tools are defined in gateway/src/agents/tools/. The constant prefix is "gsv__" (defined in gateway/src/agents/tools/constants.ts).

All native tools return a result object with the shape:

{ ok: boolean; result?: unknown; error?: string }

Workspace Tools

Workspace tools operate on the agent's R2 workspace at agents/{agentId}/. Paths are relative to the workspace root unless otherwise noted. Path traversal (..) is rejected. Virtual skills/ paths resolve agent-local overrides first, then fall back to global skills.

gsv__ListFiles

List files and directories in the agent's workspace.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
path	string	No	Directory path relative to workspace root. "/" or omitted for root. "memory/" for memory directory. "skills/" for skill files.

Output: { path, files: string[], directories: string[] }

Side effects: None. Read-only.

Behavior: Lists objects and common prefixes in R2 under the resolved path. For skills/ paths, results are merged from agent-level (agents/{agentId}/skills/) and global (skills/) locations, with agent files taking precedence for deduplication.

---

gsv__ReadFile

Read a file from the agent's workspace.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
path	string	Yes	File path relative to workspace root. Examples: "SOUL.md", "memory/2024-01-15.md", "skills/summarize/SKILL.md".

Output: { path, content: string, size: number, lastModified?: string }

For skills/* paths, the output additionally includes:

• resolvedPath: The actual R2 key that was read.
• resolvedSource: "agent" or "global", indicating which copy was found.

Side effects: None. Read-only.

Behavior: For skills/* paths, checks agent-local override at agents/{agentId}/skills/* first, then falls back to the global skills/* path. Returns an error if the file is not found.

---

gsv__WriteFile

Write or create a file in the agent's workspace.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
path	string	Yes	File path relative to workspace root.
content	string	Yes	Content to write.

Output: { path, size: number, written: true }

Side effects: Creates or overwrites the file in R2. Parent directories are created implicitly (R2 has no directory concept). Sets Content-Type based on file extension: .md → text/markdown, .json → application/json, .yaml/.yml → text/yaml, all others → text/plain.

Behavior: Writes to skills/* paths always create or update agent-local overrides under agents/{agentId}/skills/*.

---

gsv__EditFile

Edit a file by replacing exact text matches.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
path	string	Yes	File path relative to workspace root.
oldString	string	Yes	Exact text to find. Must not be empty.
newString	string	Yes	Replacement text.
replaceAll	boolean	No	Replace all occurrences. Default false (requires oldString to match exactly once).

Output: { path, replacements: number, edited: true, resolvedSource?: string, resolvedPath?: string }

Side effects: Reads the file, performs the replacement, and writes the result back. For skills/* paths, reads from agent-local or global (with agent-local priority), but always writes the result to the agent-local path.

Error conditions:

• oldString not found → error.
• oldString found multiple times and replaceAll is not true → error with match count.

---

gsv__DeleteFile

Delete a file from the agent's workspace.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
path	string	Yes	File path relative to workspace root.

Output: { path, deleted: true }

Side effects: Permanently deletes the R2 object. Checks for existence first; returns an error if the file is not found.

---

Gateway Tools

Tools for inspecting Gateway state and connected node information.

gsv__ConfigGet

Inspect the Gateway configuration.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
path	string	No	Dotted path to a specific config value (e.g. "session.dmScope", "channels.whatsapp.allowFrom"). When omitted, returns the full config (with sensitive values masked).

Output (with path): { path, value }

Output (without path): { config: <masked config object> }

Side effects: None. Read-only.

Behavior: Requires Gateway context. Returns an error if the Gateway stub is unavailable.

---

gsv__LogsGet

Fetch recent log lines from a connected node.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
nodeId	string	No	Node ID to fetch logs from. Required when multiple nodes are connected. Auto-selects when exactly one node is connected.
lines	number	No	Number of lines to return. Default 100, maximum 5000.

Output: Node log payload (structure determined by Gateway).

Side effects: None. Read-only.

Behavior: Requires Gateway context. Returns an error if the Gateway stub is unavailable.

---

Cron Tools

gsv__Cron

Manage scheduled cron jobs. This is a single tool with an action discriminator.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
action	string	Yes	Action to execute. One of: "status", "list", "add", "update", "remove", "run", "runs".
id	string	No	Job ID. Required for "update", "remove", and "run" with mode: "force".
mode	"due" | "force"	No	Run mode for action: "run". "due" runs only due jobs. "force" runs a specific job immediately.
agentId	string	No	Agent filter for "list" and "status", or owner agent for "add".
includeDisabled	boolean	No	Whether disabled jobs are included for action: "list".
limit	number	No	Pagination limit for "list" and "runs".
offset	number	No	Pagination offset for "list" and "runs".
job	object	No	Job create payload for action: "add". See Job Object below.
patch	object	No	Job patch payload for action: "update". Same fields as job, all optional.
jobId	string	No	Job ID filter for action: "runs".

Side effects: "add" creates a new job. "update" modifies an existing job. "remove" deletes a job. "run" triggers job execution.

Behavior: Requires Gateway context. Delegates to gateway.executeCronTool().

Job Object

Used as the job parameter for action: "add".

Field	Type	Required	Description
name	string	Yes	Human-readable job name.
schedule	object	Yes	Schedule definition. See Schedule Object.
spec	object	Yes	Job spec. See Spec Object.
agentId	string	No	Agent that owns the job. Default "main".
description	string	No	Human-readable description.
enabled	boolean	No	Whether the job is active. Default true.
deleteAfterRun	boolean	No	Delete the job after a successful one-shot run.

Schedule Object

The schedule object requires a kind discriminator.

Kind	Fields	Description
"at"	at: string	One-shot schedule. at supports ISO datetime strings, relative strings (e.g. "in 2 hours"), and "today"/"tomorrow" forms. Interpreted in user timezone when no timezone is specified.
"at"	in: string	Relative one-shot shorthand (e.g. "in 30 minutes").
"every"	everyMinutes?: number, everyHours?: number, everyDays?: number, anchor?: string	Interval schedule. Specify one duration field. anchor is an optional datetime string; if omitted, the interval starts from now.
"cron"	expr: string, tz?: string	Cron expression schedule. expr is a 5-field cron expression. tz is an IANA timezone (defaults to user timezone).

Spec Object

The spec object requires a mode discriminator.

Mode	Fields	Description
"systemEvent"	text: string	Injects text into the agent's main session. The agent processes it in the existing conversation context. Response is delivered to the last active channel.
"task"	message: string, deliver?: boolean, channel?: string, to?: string, model?: string, thinking?: string, timeoutSeconds?: number, bestEffortDeliver?: boolean	Runs a full agent turn in an isolated session (clean conversation, no carry-over). Supports explicit delivery control.
