John, Is there a way to hide an entire section (not just make it greyed out) using the most recent galaxy-dist? I'm investigating the pull request you linked to, and it looks interesting, but is it compatible with galaxy-dist (it's on the bitbucket page for galaxy-central)? Thanks! Sincerely, Michael E.

Add workflow_ compatible ="false" to the tool XML element to hide it in the workflow editor. Check the tools/data_source/upload.xml for an example of this.
If you would like to hide it both in the workflow editor and the side bar but still allow for other direct links to it you can setup dynamic toolbox filters (you will need to manually pull in the pull request changes as this has not been merged by the Galaxy team):
https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/pull-request/160/implement-dynam...
These can even let you show it to your admins in their side panel, but not to other users. This way you don't have to hack up the admin section of the UI.
Additionally, you may want to go one step further and prevent others from using the tool (not just preventing them from seeing it). To do this, you can use dynamic job destinations and prevent these tools from running for non-admins:

Peter,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm working on an existing project where my predecessors have added a tool that enables a user to add REST and SOAP Web services as usable tools within Galaxy by providing their WSDL or WADL URLs. It makes sense that the tools that are added should show up in both the "Analyze" page and the Workflow editor, but the actual tool for adding Web services is not intended to be used in workflows.
I understand that this tool should probably (more appropriately) be located on the "Admin" page, but in the short run, I'd like to hide this tool from showing up in the list of tools available in the Workflow editor (admittedly, this is the opposite of my original question). In the long run, is there an API for adding plugins (or similar) to the admin page? I ask because this particular tool is not designed to be used in a workflow, but rather, it is designed to add tools to Galaxy itself.
Perhaps there is a way to work this into the Toolshed stuff you guys are working on?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Suppose a tool didn't have any kind of configuration and therefore didn't need to be displayed in the "Analyze Data" part of Galaxy. Is there a way to modify tool_conf.xml so that a particular tool is only displayed in the Workflow editor?
Thanks!

Any ideas?
Thanks!
The only way this makes sense to me if is you have a tool with no inputs at all (not even an input data file), but it produces one or more output files. e.g. "Fetch the human genome as FASTA file, version hg18". But in that case you'd be better off just defining the file within a shared data library.
Perhaps you could give an example of the kind of tool you are interested in?
Thanks,
Peter
