Toolport 1.18.0 adds a native GTK shell for Arch and other current-GTK Linux
distributions, makes the destructive-tool setting hide what it refuses, and
fixes catalog entries for servers you host yourself. The .deb and AppImage
builds are unchanged and remain the Linux download everywhere else.
Added
-
A native GTK shell for Arch, Omarchy, and other current-GTK distributions. Not a
rewrite of the Linux app for every distribution: this is a second Linux build,
packaged for Arch astoolport, and it needs GTK 4.10 or newer and libadwaita 1.4 or
newer. That rules out Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 12, which keep the existing.deband
AppImage, as does anywhere the native package is not available. Where it does run it
is GTK4/libadwaita rather than a web view: it follows the active Omarchy palette,
behaves as a regular Wayland window under Hyprland, and leaves tiling and geometry to
the compositor. Everything the cross-platform app does is here - servers, profiles and
secrets, client detection and connection, pending approvals with desktop
notifications, Activity, Catalog and starter stacks, Playground, Rules and project
rules, Teams, agent permissions and the activity recorder, the shared HTTP endpoint,
diagnostics, and first-run setup. Updates come from pacman or the Omarchy update
flow; there is no self-updater in this build.Only one Toolport should run at a time. Both builds read the same
~/.config/Toolport, and only one process can hold the approval broker's endpoint, so
the second to start shows an empty approval queue while prompts go to the first - it
now says so rather than looking idle. On Arch thetoolportpackage conflicts with
toolport-bin, so the two cannot be installed together there. Upgrading from the earlier preview package retires its
autostart entry and URL handler on first run, and carries launch-at-login across
rather than switching it off. -
Agent permissions has a "Never run sudo" preset. The other presets each block one
destructive act; none covered privilege escalation, which is the case where an agent
can perform any of them as root. Deniessudoandsudoedit. -
Activity says which part of a tool definition drifted. Pins now carry per-field
fingerprints alongside the whole-definition one, so a drift row can name the
description, the input schema, or the annotations instead of only reporting that
something changed. The whole-definition fingerprint is still what quarantine trusts. -
Server and client logos. Catalog entries, registry rows and client cards show the
real mark, with a clean fallback where there is no asset.
Changed
-
Blocking destructive tools now hides them from the catalog as well as refusing the
call. The setting has always promised to "hide and reject", and the call was always
refused, but the catalog kept listing the tools because it is served from a cache
written under whatever policy was in force at the time. If you run with that setting
on, expect those tools to disappear from what your agents can see. Blocking behaviour
is unchanged. -
Clients are grouped by whether they are connected. Available to connect sits above
Connected to Toolport, each with its own count, instead of one mixed list.
Fixed
-
Adding a self-hosted catalog entry created a server that could never connect.
n8nandLangfusedescribe an endpoint you host yourself, so the catalog carries a
hint rather than a URL. A one-click Add wrote an HTTP server with neither a command
nor a URL. Both Add paths now open the server editor prefilled, with the hint as the
URL placeholder rather than as text that could be saved as-is, and the underlying add
refuses an entry with no endpoint so no other caller can recreate it. -
A debug build reaped the production install's gateways. The stale-gateway sweep
did not tell a-devdata directory's processes from the real install's, so running a
development build killed gateways that were serving live clients mid-call. -
Agent rules: the "no rules file" line no longer lumps three different situations
together. Cursor and GitHub Copilot CLI have no global rules file but do read project
rules, so the Clients section now points them at the Projects section instead of calling
them unsupported; Claude Desktop is named as the chat app, with Claude Code inside it
covered by the Claude Code row; only clients with no rules file anywhere still say to
paste rules in by hand.
