Pi clean-launch flags
Focus 3:
--tools
Choose exactly which Pi work tools are available to the model.
The allow list
Only the listed work tools are available.
Available
A tool named after --tools is available to the model.
Unavailable
A tool omitted from the list does not exist in the model's available work-tool set.
Example launch
read is the only allowed Pi work tool.
pi --tools readPi can inspect an existing file. It cannot edit or write a file, and it cannot use bash.
Names the model may show
One work tool and one helper.
functions.readPi work tool
This is the read tool with a technical prefix.
multi_tool_use.parallelHelper only
It can group calls to tools that are already allowed. It does not add editing, writing, or terminal capabilities.
Observed proof
The session read an existing file through functions.read.
No editing or terminal tool was available. The parallel helper could organize allowed reads, but it could not create a missing capability.
Understanding check
Why can Pi inspect a file but not change it in a session started with pi --tools read, even when multi_tool_use.parallel appears?
