# Tools in Shell runs an agent's tools from Bashkit scripts > The tools_in_shell capability moves most tools into one tools shell command, so a script can chain calls, preview them with tools plan and ask approval first. Source: Date: 2026-10-10 Products: Platform, Cloud Category: Feature Pull request: everruns/everruns#4385 Pull request: everruns/everruns#4386 Pull request: everruns/everruns#4388 Pull request: everruns/everruns#4435 Pull request: everruns/everruns#4439 Pull request: everruns/everruns#4443 Pull request: everruns/everruns#4454 Pull request: everruns/everruns#4501 The **Tools in Shell** capability (`tools_in_shell`) moves most of an agent’s tools, MCP servers included, from the model’s tool list into one `tools` command in the Bashkit shell. One script can call several tools and filter results with `jq` before the model sees them: ```bash tools github list-pulls '{"repo":"acme/api","state":"open"}' | jq -r '.[].number' ``` Every call goes through the turn’s tool policy. A script that would make a call needing approval is held before it starts. `tools plan` lists a script’s calls and their risk without running anything. Tools with no risk hints are rated once, which **Rate unlabeled tools** can turn off. Each call shows in the session timeline under its shell call.
