iagctl mcp tool list

Gateway 5.5+

List tools available from an MCP server.

The iagctl mcp tool list command connects to a registered MCP server and displays all tools it exposes. For each tool, the output includes its name and description. Use the --raw flag to return full tool schema information, including input and output parameters.

For more information, see Register and manage MCP servers.

Syntax

$ iagctl mcp tool list <mcp_server> [flags]

Available tools

The following tables list the tools available from two commonly used MCP servers. The tools available on any given MCP server depend on its implementation.

Filesystem server tools

Tools provided by the filesystem MCP server (@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem). All tools operate only within the directories the server is configured to allow.

Tool	Description
`create_directory`	Create a new directory, including any intermediate parent directories, in a single operation. Succeeds silently if the directory already exists.
`directory_tree`	Return a recursive JSON tree of files and directories. Each entry includes `name`, `type` (`file` or `directory`), and `children` for directories.
`edit_file`	Make line-based edits to a text file by replacing exact line sequences with new content. Returns a git-style diff of the changes.
`get_file_info`	Return metadata for a file or directory, including size, creation time, last modified time, permissions, and type.
`list_allowed_directories`	Return the list of directories the server is allowed to access, including their subdirectories.
`list_directory`	Return a listing of all files and directories at a specified path. Entries are prefixed with `[FILE]` or `[DIR]`.
`list_directory_with_sizes`	Return a listing of all files and directories at a specified path, including size information. Entries are prefixed with `[FILE]` or `[DIR]`.
`move_file`	Move or rename a file or directory. Fails if the destination already exists. Both source and destination must be within allowed directories.
`read_file`	Read the complete contents of a file as text. Deprecated—use `read_text_file` instead.
`read_media_file`	Read an image or audio file and return its base64-encoded content and MIME type.
`read_multiple_files`	Read the contents of multiple files simultaneously. Returns each file’s content with its path. Individual read failures don’t stop the operation.
`read_text_file`	Read the complete contents of a text file. Supports `head` and `tail` parameters to return only the first or last N lines.
`search_files`	Recursively search for files and directories matching a glob-style pattern. Returns full paths to all matching items.
`write_file`	Create a new file or overwrite an existing file with the provided text content. Overwrites without warning.

Context7 server tools

Tools provided by the Context7 MCP server (https://mcp.context7.com/mcp). Use these tools to retrieve up-to-date library documentation and code examples during automation development.

Tool	Description
`resolve-library-id`	Resolve a package or product name to a Context7-compatible library ID. Returns a list of matching libraries.
`query-docs`	Retrieve documentation and code examples from Context7 for a specified library or framework.
