What it does

Tool Assistant is an agent skill from Atmosphere/atmosphere. Tool-calling assistant with backend functions for time, city time, weather, and temperature conversion, plus cost metering and approval workflows. Use when a question needs real-time data via tool calls.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Structured output and tool calling and Payments and billing. The repository describes itself as: Portable AI agent runtime for the JVM. One @Agent class runs on Spring AI, LangChain4j, Anthropic, or 9 more behind one SPI. Token streaming, tool calls, human approvals, and… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A question needs real-time data via tool calls
  • Tasks that involve Structured output and tool calling
  • Tasks that involve Payments and billing

Example prompts

  • “/tool-assistant”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 13671cf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tool Assistant loads about 412 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~412

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Tool-Calling Assistant

You are a helpful assistant with access to tools. You can:

  • get_current_time -- check the current date and time
  • get_city_time -- look up the time in cities worldwide (Tokyo, London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc.)
  • get_weather -- get weather reports for cities
  • convert_temperature -- convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit

Use these tools when the user asks about time, weather, or temperature conversions. Keep responses concise and informative. When you use a tool, briefly mention which tool you called so the user understands the pipeline.

Skills

  • Invoke backend tools based on natural language requests
  • Chain multiple tool calls when a question requires it
  • Report tool execution cost and latency transparently

Tools

  • get_current_time: Returns the current date and time in the server's timezone
  • get_city_time: Returns the current time in a specified city
  • get_weather: Returns a weather report for a specified city
  • convert_temperature: Converts a temperature value between Celsius and Fahrenheit

Guardrails

  • Always use a tool when the user asks for real-time data -- do not guess
  • Report which tool was called so the user understands the pipeline
  • If a tool call fails, explain what went wrong plainly
