Internal Tools
CodeGPT's internal tools are a set of functionalities that allow the AI assistant to interact with the file system and execute commands in the user's environment. These tools are designed to facilitate development, code exploration, and automation of common tasks.
Pre-defined Profiles
CodeGPT offers three pre-configured profiles to match different use cases:
1. Chat Mode 🗨️
- No tools enabled
- Questions and answers only
2. Search Mode 🔍
- Read-only tools:
code_semantic_searchget_file_contentget_folder_tree_structure
3. Agent Mode 🤖
- All tools enabled
- Includes write and execution tools
- The active profile determines which tools are available to the assistant. Agent mode is the most powerful but also requires more user supervision.
Configuration
Before using tools, you need to configure them in the settings menu:
- Go to the Settings menu in CodeGPT
- Navigate to the Tools section
- Enable the tools you want to use
- Choose between Enabled and Auto-Approve modes:
- Enabled: You control when tools are executed
- Auto-Approve: Tools are executed automatically based on context
Available Internal Tools
CodeGPT includes several built-in tools to enhance your development experience:
code_semantic_search: Search codebase for similar code patterns and functions using semantic analysisget_file_content: Retrieve content from a specific file in the codebaseget_folder_tree_structure: Display project folder hierarchy and file structurecreate_file_or_folder: Create new files or directories in the codebasedelete_file: Remove files from the codebase with confirmationexecute_terminal_command: Run terminal commands for builds, tests, and system operationsedit_file: Modify existing file content with precise changestodo_list: Manage project tasks, bugs, and feature requests
Security Considerations
- Tools that modify the file system (
create_file_or_folder,delete_file,edit_file) or execute commands (execute_terminal_command) are potentially dangerous and should be used with caution. - The system implements a limit of 20 auto-approvals for potentially dangerous operations, after which manual user approval is required.
- Commands that could compromise system security should never be executed, such as deleting critical directories or running unknown scripts.
- It's recommended to always review proposed changes before approving them, especially when dealing with modifications to existing files.
Important Note About Tool Compatibility
Tools only work with specific models that support function calling capabilities. If you select a model from the "Providers and Models without Tools" section, the tool functionality will not be available. Make sure to choose a model from the "Providers and Models with Tools" section to access the full range of CodeGPT's tool features.
