Correction, 26 July 2026. This post described per-agent tool filtering as controlling which tools an agent can access. That was wrong when we wrote it, not just out of date. The switches change what an agent is told about in its instructions, so it stops reaching for those tools, but they never took a tool out of an agent's reach: the feature was built on a misreading of an SDK option that auto-approves tools rather than restricting them. If you turned a group off expecting a lock, you did not have one. The wording below is left as published; this note is the correction. Details in Action Approvals and the Threat Model.

DorkOS 0.8.0 brings meaningful control back to you: define exactly which tools each agent can access, discover and navigate agents faster with a rebuilt command palette, and rely on a hardened relay pipeline that just works.

Highlights

🎛️ Per-agent tool filtering — Configure which capabilities each agent can access, with cascade disable when an agent is unregistered. No more one-size-fits-all tool exposure.

🔍 Command palette redesign — Fuzzy search, live preview panels, and sub-menu navigation make finding and launching agents intuitive. The sidebar gets an agent-centric layout to match.

🚀 Critical routing fix — Resolved a CWD mismatch bug in agent-to-agent messaging and hardened the entire CCA pipeline for production reliability.
