swarm-logs covers every host-tier unit this tool could reach, so the second, capability-gated path into host journald earns nothing and is removed outright rather than disabled behind a flag. Removed end to end: the MCP tool definition + handler, the GetHostJournal/HostJournal wire variants, hive-c0re's dispatch_host_journal handler, the ReadHostJournal capability, and the harness-side capability->--allowedTools gate. get_host_journal was the only capability that mapped to an MCP tool, so allowed_capability_tools could only ever return an empty vec; it goes too rather than linger as a function that provably does nothing. capabilities::has_cap/caps_for stay: #4624 gave ManageRootAgent's bind-mount enforcement (hive-c0re/src/lifecycle/host_config.rs) a second caller of has_cap, so they're no longer callerless once this lands on top of it. hive-sh4re's journal module (JournalPriority) had no consumer outside this tool and is deleted. An existing capabilities.json still naming read_host_journal does not error: capabilities::prune_unknown drops unrecognised names with a warn!, and an agent left with no capabilities has its entry removed. No migration step is needed. Untouched: hive-c0re/src/dashboard/journal.rs's read_host_journal_response, which matches the name but is the private helper behind the operator-only GET /api/journal-host dashboard route and carries no capability check.

Tools
hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything
else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their
containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call).
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.
For the operator
- hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
- hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.
For the swarm operator
- swarmctl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated
flag-by-flag reference for
swarmctl, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same wayhivectl-cli.mdis.swarmctlitself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not throughhivectl— seeswarmctl/README.mdfor why. Two verb families today:user(authelia's subject store, edited in place) andagent create(queues the swarm-controller's creation job graph). No curated guide yet; add one here if/when that grows.
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-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated
flag-by-flag reference for
hive-forge, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same wayhivectl-cli.mdis. - matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface
(
mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally. - scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator approval required).
