Tools & capabilities
AI Cli MCP tools 8
runExecutes a prompt using Claude CLI, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI (Gemini), OpenCode, Grok, or Pi. The appropriate CLI is automatically selected based on the model name.waitWaits for multiple AI agent processes to complete and returns their combined results. Blocks until all specified PIDs finish or a timeout occurs.peekStarts a one-shot short observation window for running child agents and returns structured events observed during that specific call. By default this includes only natural-language message events; pass `include_tool_calls` or `--include-tool-calls` to also include normalized tool-call events. It is…list_processesLists all running and completed AI agent processes with their status, PID, and basic info.doctorChecks supported AI CLI binary availability and path resolution from MCP clients. Like `ai-cli doctor`, it returns a `checks` block and does not verify login state or terms acceptance.modelsLists supported model names and aliases, including models discovered by running `pi --list-models` and `opencode models`. This returns the same structured payload as `ai-cli models`. The `pi` and `opencode` arrays retain their default keys and append names ready for `run`.get_resultGets the current output and status of an AI agent process by PID.kill_processTerminates a running AI agent process by PID.
