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

Description: Look up Shipfox tools for starting workflows and inspecting workspace runs.

This reference lists the built-in Shipfox tool catalog. See the [Shipfox
overview](https://www.shipfox.io/docs/integrations/shipfox) for its workspace access.

Set `connection: shipfox` when using these tools.

## Access and safety [#access-and-safety]

The six inspection tools are read-only. `start_workflow_run` is a write tool.
An agent step must set `allow_write: true` before it can use that tool.

Child runs are bounded by fixed [workflow chaining
limits](https://www.shipfox.io/docs/reference/limits#workflow-chaining). Limit failures return
`run-depth-exceeded` or `run-tree-limit-exceeded`.
