# Tool Reference
|
||
|
||
> This reference covers all 45 orchestrator tools available when the ⚡ toggle is on.
|
||
> Tools are invoked automatically by the orchestrator — you don't call them directly.
|
||
|
||
¹ **Admin only** — requires the `admin` role. Invisible to regular users.
|
||
² **Confirmation required** — the orchestrator pauses and shows **Confirm / Deny** buttons before executing.
