Execution power
What can it do?
shell commands
broad execution
package + file ops
wide reach
The important question is what agents can do, not just what tools are registered.

Broad execution and file reach
Usually less urgent than broad tools

Meaning anchors
Anchor | Summary | Operator note |
|---|---|---|
Capabilities describe power, not inventory trivia | Security needs to see which tools widen leverage before looking at every schema row. | That is the value of a meaning layer here. |
Routine can still be the biggest risk multiplier | Bash matters because it is normal, broad, and frequently adjacent to sensitive context. | Normality is part of why it deserves stronger framing. |
Capability detail should explain leverage | The page should say what this tool changes in the story, not only how many times it ran. | That makes the tool catalog operationally useful. |
Priority queue
Story | Summary | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
tool:builtin:bash | Broad execution power reused across the most important recent sessions. | The best capability example for leverage and blast radius. |
Filesystem helper tools | Lower-level surfaces that often appear beside bash. | Useful follow-up once the main leverage lane is understood. |
Prompt-only skills | Less operationally urgent baseline. | Good contrast against broad execution tools. |

Representative detail
Bash should be treated as a high-leverage execution surface: broad power, shared reuse, and a short path into sensitive context.
