# Tools
|
|
|
|
Zed's built-in agent has access to a variety of tools that allow it to interact with your codebase and perform tasks.
|
|
|
|
## Read & Search Tools
|
|
|
|
### `diagnostics`
|
|
|
|
Gets errors and warnings for either a specific file or the entire project, useful after making edits to determine if further changes are needed.
|
|
When a path is provided, shows all diagnostics for that specific file.
|
|
When no path is provided, shows a summary of error and warning counts for all files in the project.
|
|
|
|
### `fetch`
|
|
|
|
Fetches a URL and returns the content as Markdown. Useful for providing docs as context.
|
|
|
|
### `find_path`
|
|
|
|
Quickly finds files by matching glob patterns (like "\*_/_.js"), returning matching file paths alphabetically.
|
|
|
|
### `grep`
|
|
|
|
Searches file contents across the project using regular expressions, preferred for finding symbols in code without knowing exact file paths.
|
|
|
|
### `list_directory`
|
|
|
|
Lists files and directories in a given path, providing an overview of filesystem contents.
|
|
|
|
### `now`
|
|
|
|
Returns the current date and time.
|
|
|
|
### `open`
|
|
|
|
Opens a file or URL with the default application associated with it on the user's operating system.
|
|
|
|
### `read_file`
|
|
|
|
Reads the content of a specified file in the project, allowing access to file contents.
|
|
|
|
### `thinking`
|
|
|
|
Allows the Agent to work through problems, brainstorm ideas, or plan without executing actions, useful for complex problem-solving.
|
|
|
|
### `web_search`
|
|
|
|
Searches the web for information, providing results with snippets and links from relevant web pages, useful for accessing real-time information.
|
|
|
|
## Edit Tools
|
|
|
|
### `copy_path`
|
|
|
|
Copies a file or directory recursively in the project, more efficient than manually reading and writing files when duplicating content.
|
|
|
|
### `create_directory`
|
|
|
|
Creates a new directory at the specified path within the project, creating all necessary parent directories (similar to `mkdir -p`).
|
|
|
|
### `delete_path`
|
|
|
|
Deletes a file or directory (including contents recursively) at the specified path and confirms the deletion.
|
|
|
|
### `edit_file`
|
|
|
|
Edits files by replacing specific text with new content.
|
|
|
|
### `move_path`
|
|
|
|
Moves or renames a file or directory in the project, performing a rename if only the filename differs.
|
|
|
|
### `terminal`
|
|
|
|
Executes shell commands and returns the combined output, creating a new shell process for each invocation.
