ToolFS is a unified virtual filesystem framework for LLM agents that provides access to files, memory, RAG systems, skills, and snapshots through a single /toolfs namespace.
ToolFS integrates multiple data sources and operations into one virtual filesystem:
- Memory: Persistent key-value storage for session data and context
- RAG: Semantic search over vector databases for document retrieval
- Filesystem: Access to mounted local directories
- Skills: Execute WASM-based skills mounted to virtual paths
- Snapshots: Create point-in-time snapshots and restore previous states
All operations respect session isolation, permission control, and audit logging for safe execution in sandboxed environments.
ToolFS is organized into functional modules. Each module provides specific capabilities:
| Module | Path | Description | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory | /toolfs/memory |
Persistent storage for session data and context | Memory Skill |
| RAG | /toolfs/rag |
Semantic search over vector databases | RAG Skill |
| Filesystem | /toolfs/<mount> |
Access to mounted local directories | Filesystem Skill |
| Code | /toolfs/<skill> |
Execute WASM or native skills | Code Skill |
| Snapshots | /toolfs/snapshots |
Filesystem state snapshots and rollback | Snapshot Skill |
# Read memory entry
GET /toolfs/memory/<entry_id>
# Write memory entry
PUT /toolfs/memory/<entry_id>
# List memory entries
LIST /toolfs/memorySee Memory Skill for details.
# Semantic search
GET /toolfs/rag/query?text=<query>&top_k=<number>See RAG Skill for details.
# Read file
GET /toolfs/<mount_point>/<relative_path>
# Write file
PUT /toolfs/<mount_point>/<relative_path>
# List directory
LIST /toolfs/<mount_point>/<relative_path>See Filesystem Skill for details.
# Execute skill
GET /toolfs/<skill_mount_path>?text=<query>See Skill Skill for details.
# Create snapshot
POST /toolfs/snapshots/create
# Rollback snapshot
POST /toolfs/snapshots/rollback
# List snapshots
GET /toolfs/snapshotsSee Snapshot Skill for details.
Chain multiple operations in a single request:
POST /toolfs/skills/chain
Content-Type: application/json
{
"operations": [
{
"type": "search_memory",
"query": "user preferences"
},
{
"type": "search_rag",
"query": "ToolFS configuration",
"top_k": 5
},
{
"type": "read_file",
"path": "/toolfs/data/config/settings.json"
}
]
}- File Operations: "Read the config file from the project directory"
- Memory Persistence: "Store this conversation summary in memory"
- Semantic Search: "Search documents for information about X"
- Skill Execution: "Execute the RAG skill to find relevant content"
- State Management: "Create a snapshot before making changes"
- Recovery: "Restore the previous state"
All operations return standardized result structures:
{
"type": "memory|rag|file|skill|snapshot",
"source": "identifier (ID, path, command, skill_name)",
"content": "string content or data",
"metadata": {},
"success": true|false,
"error": "error message if failed"
}Errors are returned with structured responses:
{
"success": false,
"error": "Detailed error message",
"type": "error_type",
"source": "operation_identifier"
}Common error types:
access_denied: Session does not have permissionnot_found: Resource not foundskill_error: Skill execution failedvalidation_error: Invalid input parametersfilesystem_error: Filesystem operation failed
- Use Sessions: Always create sessions with appropriate
allowed_pathsfor security - Chain Operations: Use
ChainOperationsto minimize round trips - Snapshot Before Changes: Create snapshots before major filesystem modifications
- Handle Errors: Check
successfield in results and provide fallback strategies - Leverage Metadata: Use metadata fields to pass context between operations
