Reference for the Paseo tools agents use to manage agents, workspaces, terminals, and schedules.

Orchestration
MCP reference
This is the complete catalog behind the workflows in Orchestration and Common workflows. You normally ask for an outcome in natural language and let the agent choose the tools.
Paseo can inject these tools into every new agent it launches. Open Settings → your host → Agents and turn on Enable Paseo tools, or set daemon.mcp.injectIntoAgents to true.
Depending on the provider, Paseo delivers the catalog through its native tool interface or MCP. The capabilities are the same either way.
The MCP server itself is controlled by daemon.mcp.enabled. Existing agents may need a reload.
