Tools & the tool gateway

Clioloop's power comes from its tools. The agent reads and writes files, runs commands, browses the web, generates images and speech, executes code and connects to any MCP server — and several of those tools route through the Omni Loop Portal tool gateway, billed against your subscription instead of four separate vendor accounts.

Built-in tools

  • Filesread_file, write_file, patch, search_files
  • Terminalterminal and background process management
  • Webweb_search and web_extract
  • Browser — a full CDP-driven browser: navigate, click, type, scroll, screenshot, read console
  • Vision & mediavision_analyze, image_generate, video_generate, music_generate, text_to_speech
  • Code & planningexecute_code (Python/JS/bash), todo, memory, delegate_task
  • Messaging & moresend_message, Home Assistant control, Kanban, scheduled jobs

The Omni Loop tool gateway

These hosted tools are entitlements of your plan — there's nothing to configure. Once a device is connected, entitled tools route through the portal, which swaps your token for the house upstream key and meters the call:

ToolWhat it doesPlans

Free plan: no hosted tools. The Free tier is for trying a single model — web, image, TTS, browser and video all unlock on Pro and up. A free local TTS voice is always available regardless of plan.
