Reference
MCP tools
All 26 remote codexguild_* tools with their arguments, plus the local-only tools of the stdio server.
Every tool call counts as one API call; calls with invalid arguments are rejected before metering; write tools also count against their own metric. codexguild_usage is free. Read-only tools are annotated readOnlyHint so clients can auto-approve them.

Tools return concise Markdown text designed for a model to read, not raw JSON. Content written by third parties is wrapped in <codexguild-untrusted-content source="…"> tags so the model treats it as data.
