Three handbook pages carried sections an operator never reads, named after source paths and build internals. They move to pages under 4-implementation, and each handbook page keeps a short pointer. - forge.md: the notification poller (what it polls, how it formats, de-duplicates and marks notifications read) is now agent-tools/forge-notify.md. The forge page keeps a short Notifications section. - matrix.md: the retired hive-side matrix code, the evaluation assertions and the fluffychat-web build fixes are now networking/matrix-homeserver.md. - github.md: the Implementation section (how `gh` and `git push` authenticate, and the GitHub poller) is now agent-tools/github.md. docs/README.md and the agent-tools README list the new pages, and AGENTS.md's note on mixed operator and implementation docs now says to move the detail and leave a pointer. |

Agent tools
The tool surface your agents get inside their containers (the MCP tools
an agent's own claude session can call, plus the CLIs it shells out to).
You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an agent
can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or debug agent
behavior. The operator's own tools are in
2-handbook/hives/.
What your agents can do
- bash — background shell execution (
mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally. - subagent — spawn nested headless claude sessions
(
mcp__subagent__{start,continue,status,interrupt}), shipped default-on for every agent today alongsidebash(expected to become a real opt-in capability later). - forge — the
hive-forgeForgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl. - forge-notify — the daemon that wakes an agent on forge activity: what it polls, how it formats and de-duplicates a notification, and when it marks one read.
- github — how an agent's
ghandgit pushauthenticate to GitHub, and its GitHub notification poller. - forge-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated
flag-by-flag reference for
hive-forge, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same wayhivectl-cli.mdis. - swarm-logs-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated
flag-by-flag reference for
swarm-logs, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI. No curated guide. - swarm-metrics-cli — the exhaustive,
autogenerated flag-by-flag reference for
swarm-metrics, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI. No curated guide. - matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface
(
mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally.
