# Shipfox integration (https://www.shipfox.io/docs/integrations/shipfox)

Description: Start workflows and inspect workspace runs with the built-in Shipfox tool provider.

The built-in Shipfox tool provider lets workflow steps start other workflows.
It also lets agent steps inspect projects, workflow definitions, runs, logs, and
annotations.

## Authentication [#authentication]

Shipfox tools use the identity of the calling workflow. They require no external
account, credentials, or setup.

Shipfox tools can only access data in the same workspace as the workflow.

## Use Shipfox tools [#use-shipfox-tools]

Set `connection: shipfox` in a tool step or agent integration.
