Hello. I noticed two different models, Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 pro used a tool `GenerateImage` and I’m wondering if there is a way to find more information about these tools and their capabilities. There have been a few similar questions here, but none is up to date and google search for “cursor list of tools” yields nothing useful.

Quoting a list of other tools from this post: [`Task` tool not found - #3 by Guillaume\_Costanza](https://forum.cursor.com/t/task-tool-not-found/149379/3)

> Shell, Grep, Glob, LS, Read, Delete, StrReplace, Write, EditNotebook, TodoWrite, ReadLints, SemanticSearch, WebSearch, WebFetch, GenerateImage, AskQuestion, CallMcpTool, ListMcpResources, FetchMcpResource, and SwitchMode.rite, ReadLints, SemanticSearch, WebSearch, WebFetch, **GenerateImage** , AskQuestion, CallMcpTool, ListMcpResources, FetchMcpResource, and SwitchMode.

Any insights into this would be appreciated.

Hey @Hunan_Rostomyan!

There’s currently no documented list of tools (except at a very high level, [here](https://cursor.com/docs/agent/overview#tools)), but you can simply ask the Agent what tools are available to it, and it will happily tell you! Most of the time, the Agent is able to pick and choose the right tools based on what you’ve asked for.
