Your sandbox gives your agent MCP tools for interacting with Tembo, a `tembo` CLI for terminal operations, and skills that explain how to use those capabilities. This page lists Tembo's built-in capabilities. Your available tools and skills can also depend on your agent, organization settings, and connected integrations. Third-party MCP servers and custom skills can add to this list. ## MCP tools ### Tool discovery and execution Your agent uses these tools to discover and call the MCP tools connected to your session. | Tool | Description | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `search_mcp_tools` | Search connected servers for tools by capability or name. | | `list_mcp_servers` | List configured servers, connection status, discovered tool counts, and initialization errors. | | `get_mcp_tool_details` | Get the complete input schemas and metadata for selected tools. | | `call_mcp_tool` | Call a tool on a selected server with its arguments. | | `execute_mcp_code` | Run TypeScript that calls multiple MCP tools and returns a final result without placing intermediate results in the agent's context. | ### Sessions, repositories, and artifacts | Tool | Description | | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `list_repositories` | List your organization's enabled repositories, including IDs, URLs, owners, and base or target branches. | | `create_pull_request` | Open and record a pull request after changes have been committed and pushed. | | `setVmKeepAlive` | Set how many seconds your session VM should remain alive, starting when the tool is called. | | `createArtifact` | Create a shareable HTML, Markdown, CSV, JSON, or uploaded-file artifact. | | `uploadFile` | Prepare a direct file upload of up to 5 GiB and return the upload URL, required headers, asset ID, and download URL. | | `completeFileUpload` | Mark an upload as complete after the file bytes have been sent to the upload URL. | | `respond_to_user` | Send the final result for your session. | ### Agent state These tools are available when the session is associated with an agent. | Tool | Description | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `getAgentState` | Read a value from the current agent's state, or omit the key to read the full state object. | | `setAgentState` | Set a string value for a key in the current agent's state. | ### Slack These tools require a connected Slack workspace and the appropriate permissions for the requested action. | Tool | Description | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | `readSlackMessages` | Read a Slack thread using its channel and thread timestamp. | | `sendSlackMessage` | Send a message to a Slack channel. | | `sendSlackDirectMessage` | Send a direct message to a Slack user as the Tembo bot. | | `addTemboToChannel` | Add the Tembo bot to a Slack channel. | | `listSlackWorkspaceUsers` | List workspace users, including user IDs and display names. | | `add_slack_reaction` | Add an emoji reaction to a Slack message. | ## Tembo CLI commands You can inspect the installed CLI with `tembo --help`. Use `--help` on any command or subcommand for its arguments and options. Placeholders in the tables below, such as ``, represent values you supply; square brackets indicate optional arguments. ### Git and repositories | Command | Description | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `tembo list-repositories` | List repositories attached to your sandbox session. Alias: `tembo repositories`. | | `tembo commit` | Create and push a verified commit for your session. Use this instead of `git commit`. | | `tembo merge ` | Merge another branch into your current branch and finalize merge commits through Tembo. Use this instead of `git merge`. | | `tembo merge --continue` | Finish a merge after you resolve conflicts and stage the resolutions. | | `tembo merge --abort` | Abort an in-progress merge. | | `tembo pull-request create` | Open a pull request after your source branch has been pushed.

The tables below summarize their names and purposes without reproducing their contents. ### Built-in skills | Skill | Description | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `agent-browser` | Automate browser interactions, inspect pages, take screenshots, and test web applications. | | `aws` | Authenticate AWS CLI and SDK commands with short-lived credentials and work across enabled organization accounts. | | `generate-preview-url` | Expose local HTTP services and create shareable preview URLs. | | `install-custom-dependencies` | Install missing packages, CLI tools, or libraries using the sandbox's Nix-based environment. | | `tembo-artifact` | Create shareable reports, walkthroughs, diagrams, dashboards, structured exports, and uploaded-media artifacts. | | `tembo-cli` | Use the sandbox CLI for pull requests, service previews, uploads, and user responses. | | `tembo-file-upload` | Upload local sandbox files to Tembo assets. | | `tembo-git-instructions` | Follow your organization's commit-message and pull-request-title instructions. | ### Integration-provided skills These skills are added when you configure the corresponding integration. | Skill | Description | | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `tailscale` | Join your organization's tailnet and reach private databases, internal APIs, and other hosts. | | ` private network access` | Connect to the private network behind a configured OpenConnect VPN gateway. The skill name depends on your VPN's name. | Your organization, repositories, and selected agent can provide additional skills. Those skills are not part of Tembo's built-in set and vary between sessions.
