Summary

AI summary

The read tool now supports a path alias for file_path and resolves relative paths against the server CWD.

Full changelog

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

read tool improvements

  • path alias: accepts path as an alias for file_path -- compatible with agents that use the shorter parameter name
  • Relative path support: relative paths are now resolved against the server CWD instead of returning an error
