Code Mode is a method of interacting with MCP tools programmatically instead of calling them directly. Code Mode is particularly useful when working with many enabled extensions, as it can help manage context window usage more efficiently.

## How Code Mode Works
The [Code Execution extension](/docs/mcp/code-execution-mcp) is an MCP server that uses the MCP protocol to expose three foundational meta-tools. When Code Execution is enabled, goose switches to Code Mode. For every request, the LLM writes JavaScript code that goose runs in a sandbox environment to:
The [Code Mode extension](/docs/mcp/code-mode-mcp) is an MCP server that uses the MCP protocol to expose three foundational meta-tools. When Code Mode is enabled, goose switches to Code Mode. For every request, the LLM writes JavaScript code that goose executes using [pctx (Port of Context)](https://github.com/AdrianCole/pctx), a custom Deno-based runtime, to:
- Discover available tools from your enabled extensions (if needed)
- Learn how to work with the tools it needs for the current task
- Call those tools programmatically to complete the task

| **Tool Calling** | • Sequential tool calls<br/>• Each result sent to the LLM before the next call | • May require tool discovery calls<br/>• Multiple tool calls batched in one execution<br/>• Intermediate results are chained and processed locally |
| **Context Window** | Every LLM call includes all tool definitions from enabled extensions | Every LLM call includes the 3 meta-tool definitions, plus any tool definitions previously discovered in the session |
| **Best For** | • 1-3 enabled extensions<br/>• Simple tasks using 1-2 tools | • 5+ extensions<br/>• Well-defined multi-step workflows |
