Teaches agents how to use SwarmClaw's 6 primitive tools, persistent memory, dreaming, delegation, connectors, credentials, and the skill system. Use when an agent is running on SwarmClaw and needs to understand the platform's capabilities. |

| files | Read, write, edit, list, search files | Any file operation on the workspace filesystem |
| execute | Run bash scripts (sandboxed or host) | Shell commands, curl, data processing, package management |
| memory | Store and retrieve persistent knowledge | Facts, preferences, decisions that should survive across sessions |
| platform | Tasks, communication, delegation, projects | Coordinating with humans and other agents |
| browser | Control a headless browser | Interactive web pages, JavaScript-rendered content |
| skills | Discover and load skill documentation | Learning how to use tools, APIs, or workflows |
Tool Selection Guide
