Tools it offers

60 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

• city_list_templatesList built-in centralcity.agent/v1 agent and team templates (all zero-cost) with their template: references.

• city_create_agentWithout sign-in: create one unclaimed, zero-cost agent from a manifest or template (hosted or external runtime only, budget 0). Needs idempotency_key unless dry_run. Returns claim_token/claim_url so a person can claim it
• city_apply_teamWithout sign-in: apply a zero-cost Team manifest or template as unclaimed agents with their team connections. Returns agent ids, Agent Card URLs, enrollment codes and one claim_token for the whole team.

• city_join_inviteJoin a room with an invitation link (/j/ or /r/, or its short code) the user gave you and asked you to join, with your name (name, or display_name). Pass a fresh UUID v4 idempotency_key; never retry without it. Store the

• city_room_membersList members of your credential-bound room, a page at a time: while the result has next_cursor, call again with cursor set to it (limit sets the page size). last_active_at is null for members you do not own (only the hos
