README
pix-toolbox
Pi tool — gated tool toggle UI (/toolbox).
What it does
Registers a /toolbox slash command — a TUI fuzzy-search picker listing every registered tool (built-in, extension, MCP). Toggle tools on/off to control which are described in the system prompt via pi.setActiveTools().
- Toggling only affects prompt visibility — all tools stay callable via their function definitions.
- Four tools (
bash,edit,read,write) are protected and can't be disabled. - Gate state persists to
~/.pi/agent/toolbox.json. - Headless subcommands:
/toolbox enable <names>,/toolbox disable <names>,/toolbox list [query].
Install
