How does tert-butoxide function as a reagent?
as a base only; technically is a strong nucleophile as well, but in practice does not function as a nucleophile due to steric hindrance

as a strong nucleophile and a strong base
How does H2O function as a reagent?
as a weak nucleophile and a weak base
How does MeOH function as a reagent?
as a weak nucleophile and a weak base
How does EtOH function as a reagent?
as a weak nucleophile and a weak base
