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.

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:
| Tool | What it does | Plans |
|---|---|---|
| Web search & extract | Search and read pages (self-hosted) | Pro and up |
| Image generation | Fast, high-quality images | Pro and up |
| Premium TTS | Studio-quality voices for voice replies | Pro and up |
| Cloud browser | Hosted browser sessions for automation | Pro and up |
| Video generation | Text/image-to-video | Max & Max 10x |
| Music generation | Text-to-music, extend, cover, stems (Suno V5.5) | Max & Max 10x |
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.
