knewstimek/agent-tool

Quick Start

1. Download the binary for your OS below
2. Run agent-tool install (or agent-tool install claude)
3. Restart your IDE
4. Done - all tools work immediately, no permission popups

Or just ask your AI agent:

"Download agent-tool from https://github.com/knewstimek/agent-tool/releases/latest and run agent-tool install"

Any capable AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) can handle the full download - install - restart flow automatically.

Tip: Add this to your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md so your agent prefers agent-tool over built-in tools:

Strict mode:

ALWAYS use agent-tool MCP tools (mcp__agent-tool__*) instead of built-in file tools. agent-tool preserves file encoding and respects .editorconfig indentation settings.

Soft mode:

Prefer agent-tool MCP tools (mcp__agent-tool__*) over built-in file tools when available.

What's New

multiread: per-file offset/limit

• New files parameter accepts an array of {path, offset, limit} objects
• Each file can have its own line range instead of sharing a global offset/limit
• Existing file_paths with global offset/limit still works as before

edit: expanded brute-force indent matching

• Indent size brute-force range expanded from {2, 3, 4, 8} to {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
• Covers non-standard indent sizes that LLMs occasionally produce
• Reduces "old_string not found" errors when editing tab-indented files
