# Meta tools

> Discover, schema, execute, connect, and sandbox tools exposed in MCP Smart mode

Toolkit slug: **`flowra`**.

Meta tools are the **orchestration layer** for MCP Smart mode and advanced agents. They call other tools and platform APIs on your behalf.

| Slug                         | Name                               | What it does                                                                                                                          |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `FLOWRA_DISCOVER_TOOLS`      | Discover Tools                     | Search the catalog for tools matching a task; returns slugs and a suggested plan. Call first when the user mentions an app or action. |
| `FLOWRA_GET_TOOL_SCHEMAS`    | Get Tool Schemas                   | Return full input/output JSON schemas for given tool slugs. Use before execute so arguments match the schema.                         |
| `FLOWRA_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL`  | Multi Execute Tool                 | Run multiple action tools in one call (often after discover).                                                                         |
| `FLOWRA_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS`  | Manage Connections                 | Create or manage [connected accounts](/guides/connected-accounts); returns OAuth link URLs when needed.                               |
| `FLOWRA_JS_REMOTE_WORKBENCH` | Execute Code remotely in workbench | Run JavaScript in a persistent remote sandbox (state kept across calls).                                                              |
| `FLOWRA_REMOTE_BASH`         | Remote Bash                        | Run shell commands in a remote sandbox; can load workbench JSON from multi-execute.                                                   |
