Custom tools are functions you create that the LLM can call during conversations. They work alongside opencode's built-in tools like `read`, `write`, and `bash`.

-## Tool structure
+## Creating a tool
-Tools are defined as `.ts/.js` files in the `.opencode/tool/` directory. They
-can also be defined globally in `~/.config/opencode/tool/`.
+Tools are defined as **TypeScript** or **JavaScript** files.
-The easiest way to create tools is using the `tool()` helper which provides type safety and validation. Use `tool.schema` (which is just [Zod](https://zod.dev)) to define argument types:

You can also import [Zod](https://zod.dev) directly and return a plain object:

import { z } from "zod"
export default {
description: "Tool description",
args: {
