Toolsets

About Toolsets

Toolsets are MCP servers that you can use as tools in Quick Apps 2.0.

Toolsets Main Screen

On the main screen, you can find all publicly-available Toolsets that have either been published by DIAL users or added via a direct modification to DIAL Core's dynamic settings.

Refer to Access Control to lean more about Private and Public logical spaces for objects storage in DIAL.

Folders Structure

Objects in the Public space are arranged hierarchically, similar to a file system. In this part of the screen, you can see the hierarchical structure of folders in the Public space.

Sub-folders	Toolsets can be placed in a specific sub-folder for logical organization purposes.
Actions	Hover over any folder to view a context menu icon with actions you can perform in relation to the selected folder. - Rename: Use to rename the selected folder. - Move to: Use to select a target location in the hierarchy to move the selected folder. - Manage permissions: Redirects to Folder Storage to manage access to the folder. - Delete: Use to delete the folder with Toolsets inside it.

Tools Overview

Tools in toolsets are functionalities supported by a corresponding MCP server that can be used to extend the capabilities of your toolset. In this tab, you can find all tools included in the toolset and add more tools.

Add

You can add a tool manually only if Use all available tools toggle is Off.

1. Click + Add on the top-right.
2. Click + Add in the modal and give names to the tools that will be added.
3. Add to add tools to the toolset.

Remove

You can remove a tool only if Use all available tools toggle is Off.

1. Hover the tool by the pointer to see Delete button.
2. Click Delete to remove a tool.

JSON Editor

Use the JSON Editor toggle to switch between the form-based UI and raw JSON view of the toolset’s configuration. It is useful for advanced scenarios of bulk updates, copy/paste between environments, or tweaking settings not exposed in the form UI—you can switch to the JSON Editor on any toolset configuration page.

Switching to the JSON Editor

1. Navigate to Assets → Toolsets, then select the toolset you want to edit.
2. Click the JSON Editor toggle (top-right). The UI reveals the raw JSON.

TIP: You can switch between UI and JSON only if there are no unsaved changes.

Delete

Use the Delete button in the Configuration screen toolbar to permanently remove the selected toolset. To remove several toolsets, use the Bulk Actions option on the main screen.
