- Run ACT WebAssembly component tools via
act call. Use when the user asks to use an ACT component, run a .wasm tool, or needs sandboxed tools (SQLite, HTTP, filesystem, etc.) without system dependencies. Also use when you see references to ghcr.io/actpkg/ or .wasm component files. - license

ACT Tools
Run self-contained WebAssembly component tools via the act CLI. No system dependencies, no Docker, no language runtimes — just .wasm binaries in a sandbox.
Prerequisites
Check if act is available:
act --helpIf not installed:
npm i -g @actcore/actStep 1: Discover tools
act info --tools --format json <component><component> is one of:
- OCI registry ref:
ghcr.io/actpkg/sqlite:0.1.0 - HTTP URL:
https://example.com/component.wasm - Local file:
./component.wasm
The output contains:
metadata_schema— required configuration keys (pass via--metadata)tools— list of tool names, descriptions, andparameters_schema
Use --format text for a human-readable summary instead of JSON.
Step 2: Call a tool
act call <component> <tool-name> --args '<json>' [options]| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
--args '<json>' | Tool parameters (matches parameters_schema) |
--metadata '<json>' | Component config (matches metadata_schema) |
--allow-dir guest:host | Grant directory access to the sandbox |
--allow-fs | Grant full filesystem access |
Output is JSON on stdout. Logs go to stderr.
Remote components are cached locally after first download.
Example: SQLite
# Create a table
act call ghcr.io/actpkg/sqlite:0.1.0 execute-batch \
--args '{"sql":"CREATE TABLE notes (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, text TEXT, created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)"}' \
--metadata '{"database_path":"/data/notes.db"}' \
--allow-dir /data:/tmp/act-data
# Insert
act call ghcr.io/actpkg/sqlite:0.1.0 execute \
--args '{"sql":"INSERT INTO notes (text) VALUES (?1)","params":["Hello from ACT"]}' \
--metadata '{"database_path":"/data/notes.db"}' \
--allow-dir /data:/tmp/act-data
# Query
act call ghcr.io/actpkg/sqlite:0.1.0 query \
--args '{"sql":"SELECT * FROM notes"}' \
--metadata '{"database_path":"/data/notes.db"}' \
--allow-dir /data:/tmp/act-dataImportant
- Always run
act info --toolsfirst to discover tool names and schemas - Pass
--metadataon every call (stateless — no session) - Use
--allow-dir guest:hostonly when the component needs filesystem access - Components run sandboxed in WebAssembly — no host access unless explicitly granted
