Tool trace
list_dir -> lists files in the working folder
read_file word_tools.py -> displays the 8-18 line Python exercise with word_count and longest_word functions
edit_file word_tools.py -> applies a diff to add a function longest_word(text)
Shell python word_tools.py -> returns the output of the two print lines with exit code 0Search documentation
Lockstep Desk runs tools like grep to search code and read_file to view content, which helps you understand specific functions for your best coding bootcamp project without guessing. It works locally. The interface supports 13 languages for clear communication with users around the world. You can use web_search to find official documentation pages for your specific needs. The agent uses http_get to read the page content and provide answers for your code. Many wonder about an apprenticeship after completing bootcamp, but this tool focuses on your immediate coding tasks.
