Kimi Code registers 18 tools, covering 4 of 6 compared capabilities. It registers no built-in tool for browser or long-term memory.

Surface size

tools registered, across the 13 harnesses here

Surface size, not quality. Every registered tool spends context on every request, so a longer bar is a cost as much as a capability — and a harness that reaches a capability through a general tool may register fewer.

Where its tools differ from the rest

  • read · Default line cap1000vs 2000 in 6 of 7
  • read · Byte / char cap100 KBvs 50 KB in 3 of 5

Derived by comparing every recorded value against the other implementations of the same capability. Differing is not a defect unless the row is marked an invariant.

Not yet compared means registered by Kimi Code but with no comparison page here — todo lists, subagent spawning, approval flows. They become capabilities the day there is a comparison worth reading, and the data does not have to change for that to happen.
