> Roadstar docs for agents. Every page, as markdown: https://docs.roadstar.app/llms.txt

Every agent has the same tools. What changes is where it is: a chat sends work and answers, and holds no work tools; a thread does the work with every group. A Mac program or outside AI app works like a thread, and keeps its own conversation. See [chats and threads](/how-it-works/chats-and-threads/).

## Tool groups

In a thread, or a Mac program or outside app, every agent has every group. Browse a group with `browse_tools`, load tools with `find_tools`, run one with `use_tool`.

| Group | What's in it | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Contacts](/tools/contacts/) `contacts` | the people the business deals with | 11 |
| [Companies](/tools/companies/) `companies` | the businesses the owner deals with: clients, suppliers, their conversations | 11 |
| [Web](/tools/web/) `web` | search the web and read pages | 2 |
| [Projects](/tools/projects/) `projects` | projects that hold docs, pages and tables | 4 |
| [Docs](/tools/docs/) `docs` | the business's docs: proposals, briefs, checklists | 5 |
| [Files](/tools/files/) `files` | the owner's Drive: files, Google Docs and Sheets | 15 |
| [Mail](/tools/mail/) `mail` | the owner's Gmail | 4 |
| [Calendar](/tools/calendar/) `calendar` | the owner's calendar: meetings and time held | 2 |
| [Books](/tools/books/) `books` | invoices and what customers owe, from the owner's accounting app | 2 |
| [Workspace](/tools/workspace/) `workspace` | your own folder: files, spreadsheets and code | 5 |
| [Templates](/tools/templates/) `templates` | agents, teams, departments and skills shared in the workspace | 4 |
| [Help](/tools/help/) `help` | these docs: how Roadstar works, and every tool | 2 |
| [Search](/tools/search/) `search` | Search | 2 |
| [Connected apps](/tools/integrations/) `integrations` | the apps the owner has connected or could connect | 2 |
