These tools are registered in code but intentionally excluded from the packaged YAML surfaces. They remain reachable for custom builds, tests, or future packaging decisions.
create_category, create_knowledge_base, get_developer_daily_summary, get_repo_file_last_modifier, get_repo_recent_commits, get_repo_working_tree_status, get_uncommitted_changes, manage_epic, manage_project, manage_scrum_task, manage_story
The R/W column is the tool’s full capability when unrestricted. A package shown as pkg (actions…) exposes ONLY those actions of that tool — e.g. manage_script_include is registered R/W but the read-only packages (core, standard) expose it as standard (get, list). Packages listed without parentheses expose the tool at its full R/W capability.
