albert-tools

Tool execution layer for Albert CLI — part of the Ternary Intelligence Stack.

What this crate provides

The tool execution layer Albert uses to interact with the local environment:

Tool	What it does
`read_file`	Read file contents with line ranges
`write_file`	Write or overwrite files
`edit_file`	Targeted string replacement in files
`bash`	Execute shell commands in a sandboxed subprocess
`glob`	Pattern-based file discovery
`grep`	Regex search across the codebase
`web_fetch`	Fetch URLs and extract content
MCP dispatch	Forward tool calls to connected MCP servers

All tools go through the albert-runtime permission layer before execution — dangerous operations are blocked by policy before they reach the OS.

Crate	Role
`albert-runtime`	Session, MCP, auth, bash
`albert-api`	Multi-provider LLM client
`albert-commands`	Slash command library
`albert-tools`	This crate — tool execution
`albert-compat`	Manifest extraction harness
`albert-cli`	Binary (`albert`)
