Here’s the full tool inventory available in this session.

Built-in tools

Filesystem & code

Tool	Purpose

`enter_plan_mode` / `exit_plan_mode`	Plan before coding, then present for approval
`ask_user_question`	Ask you multiple-choice questions
`update_goal`	Report progress on an active goal

Scheduling

Tool	Purpose

`tasks__list`	List active scheduled tasks
`tasks__update`	Update name, prompt, schedule, notifications
`tasks__pause`	Pause or resume a schedule
`tasks__delete`	Archive/deactivate a task
`tasks__get_results`	Get recent execution results

`traces` and `vercel`

Still connecting (or not yet exposing tools). Their tools will show up via search_tool once ready.

Render components (UI only)

Inline citation — cite web/X/document search results in replies

Skills (loaded on demand)

Not tools themselves, but instruction packs I can load for specialized work — e.g. pptx, docx, xlsx, review, design, shadcn, Vercel/Next.js skills, check-work, imagine, etc.

Summary: ~35 built-in tools + 6 MCP tools from tasks. Want a deep dive on any category (e.g. media, agents, scheduling)?

Run a test that demonstrates all these tools reversibily

I'll run a reversible end-to-end demo: use a temp sandbox, exercise each tool category, then clean up everything we create.

Reversible tool demo — results

Sandbox: /tmp/grok-tool-demo.nhtuB3 (created → exercised → fully removed).

Filesystem & shell

Tool	Result
`run_terminal_command`	Created sandbox + sample files
`list_dir`	Listed `src/`, `out/`
`read_file`	Read `sample.txt`
`write`	Created `src/notes.md`
`search_replace`	Appended line 3 to `sample.txt`
`grep`	Found `hello` / `function` matches
Cleanup	`rm -rf` sandbox → `SANDBOX_REMOVED=ok`

Web & X (read-only)

Tool	Result
`web_search`	Found grok.com / x.ai
`open_page`	Fetched example.com
`open_page_with_find`	Pattern-matched “Example\|documentation”
`web_fetch`	Markdown for example.com
`x_user_search`	Returned a user result
`x_keyword_search`	Latest post related to xAI ecosystem
`x_semantic_search`	Semantic hit on Grok announcement topic
`x_thread_fetch`	Thread + replies for post `2072738598663946648`

Process control

Tool	Result
Background bash	5-tick loop → completed, output retrieved
`get_command_or_subagent_output`	Read ticks 1–5 + DONE
Infinite loop + `kill_command_or_subagent`	Killed successfully
`monitor`	Streamed `monitor-event-1..3` + complete

Scheduling (create → delete)

Tool	Result
`scheduler_create`	ID `019f6898f505` (one-shot, non-durable)
`scheduler_list`	Showed the demo task
`scheduler_delete`	Cancelled
`scheduler_list` again	No scheduled tasks

Agents & todos

Tool	Result
`todo_write`	Tracked 5 demo steps (all completed)
`spawn_subagent` (explore, read-only)	Confirmed tree, file contents, `add()` in math.js

MCP

Tool	Result
`search_tool`	Discovered tasks + traces schemas
`tasks__create`	Created `tool-demo-reversible-test`
`tasks__update`	Renamed + updated prompt
`tasks__pause`	Failed: “User does not own schedule” (gateway quirk)
`tasks__get_results`	Failed: team ID mismatch
`tasks__delete`	Archived successfully
`tasks__list`	Empty after delete
`traces__traces_search`	2 recent traces (7d)
`traces__traces_read`	Wrote markdown under sandbox `out/` (removed with sandbox)
vercel	Not available (auth required)

Media

Tool	Result
`image_gen`	`images/1.jpg` (session)
`image_edit`	`images/2.jpg` (session)
`image_to_video`	`videos/1.mp4` (session)
`reference_to_video`	`videos/2.mp4` (session)

Intentionally skipped (not reversible / would change session mode)

Tool	Why skipped
`enter_plan_mode` / `exit_plan_mode`	Switches the whole session into plan mode
`ask_user_question`	Blocks for interactive input
`update_goal`	Mutates goal-mode state

What remains (session artifacts only)

Media lives under this session folder (not in your home/project tree):

images/1.jpg, images/2.jpg
videos/1.mp4, videos/2.mp4

No scheduled tasks, no MCP demo task, no /tmp sandbox. Safe leftover only if you want to inspect the generated media.

Bottom line: Most tools exercised end-to-end with create→use→undo where applicable. Two MCP task APIs (pause, get_results) hit ownership/team errors; Vercel MCP needs auth.

System Reminder

Monitor "019f6899-4d24-7df1-9513-ca6a8de2c131" ended: [monitor ended: exited (code 0)].
Description: Short monitor event stream demo
Command: for i in 1 2 3; do echo "monitor-event-$i"; sleep 0.3; done; echo "monitor-complete"
Duration: 1.0s
Use get_command_or_subagent_output("019f6899-4d24-7df1-9513-ca6a8de2c131") for full output.

Monitor demo also finished cleanly (monitor-event-1..3 → monitor-complete, exit 0). That closes the last background piece from the reversible tool test — nothing else left running.
