Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_torrentsA | List torrents with compact per-torrent info. Filters: label (exact match), status. Sorted by sort_by (name ascending,
numeric keys descending). Returns at most |
| get_torrentC | Full details for one torrent by info-hash. |
| global_statsA | Global transfer rates, throttle limits, torrent count, and disk space. |
| add_torrentA | Add a torrent from a magnet link / URL, or upload a local .torrent file. Provide exactly one of magnet_or_url or file_path. Optional label and download directory. start=False adds it stopped. Addition is not verified by rTorrent; check with list_torrents afterwards. |
| remove_torrentA | Remove torrents. delete_data=True also erases downloaded files (requires ruTorrent's erasedata plugin; otherwise files remain on disk). |
| start_torrentC | Start (resume) torrents by info-hash. |
| stop_torrentA | Stop torrents (closes them; no seeding, no connections). |
| pause_torrentB | Pause torrents (stays open, transfers halt; resume with start_torrent). |
| recheck_torrentC | Force a hash re-check of downloaded data. |
| set_labelB | Set the ruTorrent label on torrents. Empty string clears the label. |
| set_priorityA | Set torrent bandwidth priority: off (do not transfer), low, normal, or high. |
| move_torrentA | Move a torrent to another download directory. Stops the torrent, optionally moves its data on the seedbox (requires rTorrent's execute permission, standard on seedboxes), points rTorrent at the new location, and restarts it if it was running. |
| set_throttleA | Set global download/upload speed limits in KB/s. 0 means unlimited. |
