Built-in tools

OtoDock ships with a set of tools out of the box. Some are core — on by default for every agent, powering the platform's own features (a manager can still turn one off for a specific agent) — and some are optional, ready to enable per agent. This is in addition to the service integrations and the community catalog.

Core tools — on by default

These power the features described elsewhere in these docs and are added to every agent automatically. An admin can't remove them platform-wide, but a manager can turn any of them off for a specific agent:

ToolWhat it does
MemoryLong-term notes an agent keeps across conversations. See Memory.
TasksSchedule work — recurring, one-off, and trigger-fired. See Tasks.
TriggersReact to external events. See Triggers.
NotificationsAlert you in the dashboard and on your devices. See Notifications.
MeetingsBring several agents together to collaborate. See Meetings.
DisplayShow images, audio, video, links, and downloadable files inline in chat.
Files & documentsRead and write Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files, convert between formats, edit and analyze images, and preview documents live in chat.
Agent self-configurationLets an agent inspect and adjust its own settings (manager sessions only).
Catalog browserLets an agent browse the community catalog.

Optional tools — ready to enable

These ship with the platform and can be turned on per agent:

ToolWhat it does
Image generationCreate images from a text prompt.
Image searchFind images on the web, including reverse image search.
SSH hostsReach the servers an admin has configured, straight from the agent's shell.

Connecting services and adding more

Beyond these, agents connect to services like GitHub and Notion (Integrations), and you can install additional tools from the community catalog or build your own.
