While going through this pipeline documentation section https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#tools - how can one know possible pre-configured tools if he is not a Jenkins admin? (I suppose only Jenkins admin can manage Global Tool Configuration)

Yes, you must be able to access that area to see a list.

Yes, but what I found is that you would need Overall/Administer permission to see that. Is it common that a user who can create a pipeline job is also an administrator? Isn't it a drawback of Jenkins system?

Hi,

did you try the snippet generator (or the declarative directive generator)? They both list available tools and generate the correct syntax.

I have tried /directive-generator but it doesn't show tools version. Neither for example agents' labels.
