Voice tools

Every tool Pix uses on a call, grouped by what it does, with whether it only reads or changes something and what confirmation it needs.

Updated 28 Oct 2026Checked against website@a31d470

Pix answers and acts through tools. Each one calls the console’s own API as you, so it can see and do only what you can. Reads run freely. Tools that start or stop work need your yes to a read-back first. See Calling Pix.

Factory figures

Tool Answers
factory_stats Headline numbers: agents working, cards done, draft pull requests, gates holding, tokens and spend, what needs you

host_workload Online hosts, sessions against slots, full and offline hosts, budget used per host, and how often hosts went offline
friction Where sessions hit trouble: tool errors, failed or interrupted turns and denied permissions, by tool, model and host, and hosts on an older Belai

Rules every tool keeps

  • Arguments are checked. A stage or a checkpoint kind that is not valid makes Pix ask again; a range a tool does not know falls back to that tool’s default.
  • A route an older server lacks is said as “not available from this server yet”.
  • Spoken answers never name a model. Model names appear only in the tables on screen.
  • Each tool shows its full table on screen and speaks a short summary.

The voice tools reference lists every tool with the description the model sees.
