title: Custom Tools
description: Create tools the LLM can call in opencode.
---
Custom tools are functions you create that the LLM can call during conversations. They work alongside opencode's built-in tools like `read`, `write`, and `bash`.
---
## Tool structure
## Creating a tool
Tools are defined as `.ts/.js` files in the `.opencode/tool/` directory. They
can also be defined globally in `~/.config/opencode/tool/`.
Tools are defined as **TypeScript** or **JavaScript** files.
The easiest way to create tools is using the `tool()` helper which provides type safety and validation. Use `tool.schema` (which is just [Zod](https://zod.dev)) to define argument types:
---
```ts title=".opencode/tool/database.ts"
### Location
They can defined:
- Locally by placing them in the `.opencode/tool/` directory of your project.
- Or globally, by placing them in `~/.config/opencode/tool/`.

### Structure
The easiest way to create tools is using the `tool()` helper which provides type-safety and validation.
```ts title=".opencode/tool/database.ts" {1}
import { tool } from "@opencode-ai/plugin"
export default tool({
description: "Query the project database",
args: {
query: tool.schema.string().describe("SQL query to execute"),
query: tool.schema.string().describe("SQL query to execute")
},
async execute(args) {
// Your database logic here
return `Executed query: ${args.query}`
},
}
})
```
The **filename** becomes the **tool name**. The above creates a `database` tool.
---
### Arguments
You can use `tool.schema`, which is just [Zod](https://zod.dev), to define argument types.
```ts "tool.schema"
args: {
query: tool.schema.string().describe("SQL query to execute")
}
```
You can also import [Zod](https://zod.dev) directly and return a plain object:
```ts
```ts {6}
import { z } from "zod"
export default {
description: "Tool description",
args: {
param: z.string().describe("Parameter description"),
param: z.string().describe("Parameter description")
},
async execute(args, context) {
// Tool implementation

The filename becomes the tool name. This creates a `database` tool.

## Multiple tools per file
You can export multiple tools from a single file. Each export becomes a separate tool with the name `<filename>_<exportname>`:
```ts title=".opencode/tool/math.ts"
import { tool } from "@opencode-ai/plugin"
export const add = tool({
description: "Add two numbers",
args: {
a: tool.schema.number().describe("First number"),
b: tool.schema.number().describe("Second number"),
},
async execute(args) {
return args.a + args.b
},
})
export const multiply = tool({
description: "Multiply two numbers",
args: {
a: tool.schema.number().describe("First number"),
b: tool.schema.number().describe("Second number"),
},
async execute(args) {
return args.a * args.b
},
})
```
This creates two tools: `math_add` and `math_multiply`.
---
## Arguments
Use `tool.schema` (which is just [Zod](https://zod.dev)) to define tool arguments with validation and descriptions:
```ts title=".opencode/tool/calculator.ts"
import { tool } from "@opencode-ai/plugin"
export default tool({
description: "Perform mathematical calculations",
args: {
expression: tool.schema.string().describe("Mathematical expression to evaluate"),
precision: tool.schema.number().optional().describe("Decimal precision"),
},
async execute(args) {
// Your calculation logic here
return `Result: ${eval(args.expression).toFixed(args.precision || 2)}`
},
})
```
---
## Context
Tools receive context about the current session:
```ts title=".opencode/tool/project.ts"
```ts title=".opencode/tool/project.ts" {8}
import { tool } from "@opencode-ai/plugin"
export default tool({

},
async execute(args) {

})
