Claude Managed Agents provides a set of built-in tools that Claude can use autonomously within a session. You control which tools are available by specifying them in the agent configuration.
Claude Managed Agents also supports custom, user-defined tools. Your application executes these tools separately and returns the results to Claude, which uses them to continue the task. To give the agent tools from an MCP server, use the MCP connector instead.
The agent toolset includes the following tools. All are enabled by default when you include the toolset in your agent configuration. Use the values in the Name column to reference tools in the configs array.

| Glob | glob | Fast file pattern matching using glob patterns |
| Grep | grep | Text search using regex patterns |
