Text tools for AI agents

Regular expressions, templates, statistics and chunking.

utilities.text_tools

What it does

Regular expressions, templates, statistics and chunking. It is one of the Core helpers tools in the Ahura Utilities catalogue: a ready-made MCP tool that an agent calls with a typed input and gets a structured result back, with no library to install and no sandbox to start.

How agents use it

Agents use text tools to prepare text for embedding and search. Because it is a plain tool call, it slots into a single agent turn or a step in an Ahura Workflow, and large inputs and outputs are passed by reference using a store:// address from Ahura Store.
