Hi Kostas, I looked into this a bit and it turned out to be a little harder to resolve then I thought. All the tools we currently have with no inputs are external websites, and in fact have some hidden inputs. These are handled as a special case. It isn't clear what the behavior should be if the tool is not an external web tool. Thus, I think I need more information on what you are trying to do. Can you elaborate? Maybe with a sample config file.
