The thirteen tools
The full reference for the thirteen MCP tools a connected AI can call - what each does, whether it reads or writes, and the OAuth scope it requires.
A connected AI sees exactly thirteen tools. Twelve are reads; the single write tool only files a pending suggestion for you to review. Two of the reads, search and fetch, are thin aliases of search_files and get_file, added for ChatGPT deep-research compatibility - the same data and permissions, returned in the result shape that surface requires.

search_files |
Search your files | Finds your documents by filename or metadata. | Read | files:read |

Read shared context | Reads context others deliberately shared with you: a share, a public or network @handle, or a teammate on an active team plan. | Read | shared:read |
Every tool call requires an OAuth token carrying the matching scope, so a connection can be narrowed to exactly what a client needs. The scopes and the rest of the access model are covered in Security.
