Tool Repository

​

Overview

The Tool Repository is a package manager for CrewAI tools. It allows users to publish, install, and manage tools that integrate with CrewAI crews and flows.

Tools can be:

• Private: accessible only within your organization (default)
• Public: accessible to all CrewAI users if published with the --public flag

The repository is not a version control system. Use Git to track code changes and enable collaboration.

​

Prerequisites

Before using the Tool Repository, ensure you have:

• A CrewAI Enterprise account
• CrewAI CLI installed
• Git installed and configured
• Access permissions to publish or install tools in your CrewAI Enterprise organization

​

Installing Tools

To install a tool:

crewai tool install <tool-name>

This installs the tool and adds it to pyproject.toml.

​

Creating and Publishing Tools

To create a new tool project:

crewai tool create <tool-name>

This generates a scaffolded tool project locally.

After making changes, initialize a Git repository and commit the code:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial version"

To publish the tool:

crewai tool publish

By default, tools are published as private. To make a tool public:

crewai tool publish --public

For more details on how to build tools, see Creating your own tools.

​

Updating Tools

To update a published tool:

1. Modify the tool locally
2. Update the version in pyproject.toml (e.g., from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1)
3. Commit the changes and publish

git commit -m "Update version to 0.1.1"
crewai tool publish

​

Deleting Tools

To delete a tool:

1. Go to CrewAI Enterprise
2. Navigate to Tools
3. Select the tool
4. Click Delete

​

Security Checks

Every published version undergoes automated security checks, and are only available to install after they pass.

You can check the security check status of a tool at:

CrewAI Enterprise > Tools > Your Tool > Versions
