This is a cool idea, can you write more about how your tools work or maybe short descriptions of a few of them? I’m interested in more rails for my bots.

I just made MCP servers that wrap the tools I need the agents to use, and give no-ask permissions to the specific tools the agents need in the agent definition.

Both OpenCode and VsCode support this. I think in ClaudeCode you can do it with skills now.

The other benefit is the MCP tool can mediate e.g. noisy build tool output, and reduce token usage by only showing errors or test failures, nothing else, or simply an ok response with the build run or test count.

So far, I have not needed to give them access to more than build tools, git, and a project/knowledge system (e.g. Obsidian) for the work I have them doing. Well and file read/write and web search.
