 Global flags include `--help`, `--json`, `--plain`, `--agent`, `--no-interactive`, and `--no-check-updates`.
 
+## Toolchain Management
+
+`gitzone tools` replaces the former `gtools` command from `@git.zone/tools`. It manages globally installed `@git.zone` development tools through pnpm.
+
+```bash
+# Check installed @git.zone tools and update outdated packages
+gitzone tools update
+
+# Update without prompts
+gitzone tools update -y
+
+# Install missing managed @git.zone tools
+gitzone tools install
+```
+
+`gitzone tools update` checks `@git.zone/cli` first. If the CLI itself needs an update, it updates `@git.zone/cli` and asks you to rerun the command before updating the rest of the toolchain.
+
 ## Commit Workflow
 
 `gitzone commit` creates one semantic source commit. It does not bump versions, create tags, publish packages, or push Docker images.
