What is add-ollama-tool?

An integration that lets the container agent call Ollama, a tool for running AI models on your own computer. It can list and use local models, with optional tools for downloading, inspecting, running, and deleting them.

Use it to list local models, send them prompts, and optionally manage the Ollama model library and running models.

It lets the agent hand work to locally installed models instead of relying only on the main orchestrator.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00028	$0.01538
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.00769
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00308

Security

Grade A, and why

add-ollama-tool scanned grade A 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 10d 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.

Add Ollama Integration

This skill adds a stdio-based MCP server that exposes local Ollama models as tools for the container agent. Claude remains the orchestrator but can offload work to local models, and can optionally manage the model library directly.

Core tools (always available):

ollama_list_models — list installed Ollama models with name, size, and family
ollama_generate — send a prompt to a specified model and return the response

Management tools (opt-in via OLLAMA_ADMIN_TOOLS=true):

ollama_pull_model — pull (download) a model from the Ollama registry
ollama_delete_model — delete a locally installed model to free disk space
ollama_show_model — show model details: modelfile, parameters, and architecture info
ollama_list_running — list models currently loaded in memory with memory usage and processor type

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Check if container/agent-runner/src/ollama-mcp-stdio.ts exists. If it does, skip to Phase 3 (Configure).

Check prerequisites

Verify Ollama is installed and running on the host:

ollama list

If Ollama is not installed, direct the user to https://ollama.com/download.

If no models are installed, suggest pulling one:

You need at least one model. I recommend:

ollama pull gemma3:1b    # Small, fast (1GB)
ollama pull llama3.2     # Good general purpose (2GB)
ollama pull qwen3-coder:30b  # Best for code tasks (18GB)

Phase 2: Apply Code Changes

Ensure upstream remote

git remote -v

If upstream is missing, add it:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw.git

Merge the skill branch

git fetch upstream skill/ollama-tool
git merge upstream/skill/ollama-tool

This merges in:

container/agent-runner/src/ollama-mcp-stdio.ts (Ollama MCP server)
scripts/ollama-watch.sh (macOS notification watcher)
Ollama MCP config in container/agent-runner/src/index.ts (allowedTools + mcpServers)
[OLLAMA] log surfacing in src/container-runner.ts
OLLAMA_HOST in .env.example

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
