DEFAULT TOOLS

First-Party Tools

These tools ship with Chalie and are invoked in-process via the ACT loop. The LLM discovers them through find_tools (semantic search) — they are not pre-loaded into context. A browser tool is also available when Playwright dependencies are installed.

Weather

Fetches current conditions and tomorrow’s forecast using Open-Meteo and wttr.in. No API key required. Results include temperature, precipitation, and wind at the user’s location when telemetry is available.

Searches across multiple sources — Wikipedia, GitHub, Reddit, arXiv, Google News, Stack Overflow, Open Library, and more — using plain natural language. Semantic routing selects the best provider(s) automatically. Returns results with titles, URLs, snippets, and provenance. No API key required.

News

Searches news articles across global sources including Google News and curated RSS feeds in seven categories: tech, business, sports, science, entertainment, US, UK. Use for current events, headlines, and what’s happening now. No API key required.

Code Eval

Executes Python snippets in a restricted sandbox. Used to verify formulas, test algorithms, or produce exact numerical results rather than approximations. Execution is isolated — no filesystem access, no network.

Searches and reads official documentation for 12 languages and 11 major frameworks. Languages: PHP, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, C#, Dart, C/C++, Bash, SQL. Frameworks: Django, Flask, NumPy, Pandas, Laravel, Node.js, React, Vue, Spring, Rails, Flutter. No API key required.
