delete-tool

delete-tool is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dirac-run/dirac. It costs 15 tokens per session (722 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A deletion skill for removing user-created custom tools from either global settings or a specific workspace.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding custom tools, showing their IDs, descriptions, scope, and paths, and deleting eligible tools created with the /new-tool command.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish removable user tools from protected built-in tools and checks both possible storage locations before deletion.

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

delete-tool scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Deleting a User-Defined Custom Tool

You are helping the user delete a custom tool that was previously created with the /new-tool command. Only user-defined tools (global or workspace scope) can be deleted — built-in tools are protected and cannot be removed.

Step 1: Discover User Tools

Scan both tool directories for user-created tools:

  1. Global tools — ~/.dirac/tools/ (or $DIRAC_DIR/tools/ if DIRAC_DIR is set)
  2. Workspace tools — <workspace>/.dirac/tools/

Use list_files to enumerate subdirectories, then read_file each dirac-tool.json manifest to collect tool metadata (id, name, scope, entry).

Also read the spec from tool.ts to get the tool's description.

If no user tools are found in either location, inform the user that there are no user-defined tools to delete and stop.

Step 2: Present the Tool List

Present the discovered tools to the user grouped by scope. For each tool show:

  • id (from manifest)
  • name (from manifest)
  • description (from tool.ts spec)
  • scope (global or workspace)
  • path (filesystem location of the tool directory)

Format the list clearly, for example:

**Global tools** (~/.dirac/tools/):
  1. analyze_deps — Analyze project dependencies
  2. format_code — Auto-format source files

**Workspace tools** (<workspace>/.dirac/tools/):
  3. run_tests — Run the project test command

Use respond with operation question to let the user select which tool(s) to delete. Include a "Cancel — don't delete anything" option.

Step 3: Confirm Deletion

After the user selects one or more tools, confirm the deletion explicitly:

You are about to permanently delete the following tool(s):

  • run_tests from <workspace>/.dirac/tools/run_tests/

This will remove the tool directory and all its files. This action cannot be undone. The tool will no longer load in new sessions.

Proceed?

Use respond with operation question and "Yes, delete" and "No, cancel" options.

Step 4: Delete the Tool
