# Swarm Apps

Swarm Apps are persistent, agent-authored internal applications: a schema-backed row store, named queries, custom script/task actions, and a validated json-render interface served at `/apps/<id>`. Use an app when people need to view and change live records; use `create_page` for a static snapshot.

> **Capability gate**: app tools are available when the server's `CAPABILITIES` includes `pages` (for example `CAPABILITIES=core,task-pool,pages`). There is no separate `apps` capability. If these tools are absent from your MCP list, this is why.

## Tools and iteration loop

| Tool | Use it for |
|---|---|
| `app-list` | Discover apps by id, name, description, and timestamps. Definitions are omitted. |
| `app-get` | Read one complete stored definition before changing it. |
| `app-upsert` | Create an app, or replace an existing app's entire definition when you intentionally have the full desired state. |
| `app-patch` | Make a focused change while preserving everything not mentioned in the patch. Prefer this for iteration. |
