Use this tool to manage the full skill lifecycle for monday platform agents: create new skills in the account-wide catalog, attach skills to an agent, or detach them. Skills extend what an agent can do (e.g. sending emails, querying databases, posting to Slack).

🚧
This tool runs against the monday.com dev (preview) API schema. There is no action to list the skills currently attached to a specific agent — the platform does not yet expose that query. To browse all skills in the account catalog, use agent_catalog action: "list_skills".

Action	Required fields	Description
`create`	`name`, `content`	Creates a new custom skill in the account-wide catalog (available to all agents). No `agent_id` needed.
`add`	`agent_id`, `skill_id`	Attaches an existing skill to the agent.
`remove`	`agent_id`, `skill_id`	Detaches a skill from the agent.

To create a new skill and attach it: call action: "create" with name and content, note the returned id, then call action: "add" with the agent_id and that id.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
action	`enum`	Yes	One of `create`, `add`, `remove`.
agent_id	`string`	Conditional	Required for `add` and `remove`. Not used for `create` (an account-level operation).
name	`string`	Conditional	Required for `create`. Display name of the new skill.
content	`string`	Conditional	Required for `create`. Markdown instructions defining what the skill does and how to execute it — this is the skill's runtime behavior.
description	`string`	No	Used with `create`. Short description shown in the catalog.
skill_id	`string`	Conditional	Required for `add` and `remove`. The skill ID from agent_catalog `action: "list_skills"`, or the ID returned by `action: "create"`. Never guess a skill ID.

Examples

Create a custom skill in the catalog:

{
  "action": "create",
  "name": "Send Slack Message",
  "content": "## Instructions\nPost a message to a Slack channel.",
  "description": "Sends a message to Slack"
}

Attach an existing skill to an agent:

{
  "action": "add",
  "agent_id": "7",
  "skill_id": "skill-abc-123"
}
