I’ve been building tooler, an open-source runtime written in Rust designed to give developers, DevOps workflows, and AI agents a consistent set of real-world tools.

Instead of letting an agent rely on arbitrary shell commands, tooler provides structured capabilities for HTTP requests, databases, filesystems, processes, logs, Git/GitHub, deployments, health checks, systemd, cron, remote hosts, and reusable playbooks.

It also exposes its capabilities through MCP, making them directly accessible to AI agents.

The idea is simple:

LLM → reasoning and planning → tooler → deterministic execution
