Conversation
Reshapes the rust-template checkout into the crate it was created to hold: the vocabulary an agent tool is written against. The template's two-crate contract+module split does not fit here. A `Tool` is an async trait returning `anyhow::Result`, so it cannot cross a TinyBus wire; the cdylib half and the vendored tinybus submodule would have been dead weight that also dragged a dlopen loader into every consumer's dependency floor. Both are removed, leaving one library crate. What the crate holds and, more importantly, what it refuses to hold is documented in README.md and src/lib.rs: it describes tools, it does not enforce policy on them. Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The descriptor is what tells a tool which filesystem root it may touch, so it belongs beside the trait that reads it rather than in the harness that happens to build it. ToolRunContext::workspace now hands it back whole; workspace_root and workspace_policy_id stay as conveniences over it for the common case. Only the pure half moves. The fail-closed enforce() gate needs an event sink and an error type, both of which are harness concerns, so it stays upstream as a free function over this type. Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Two failures found by running the CI gates locally rather than trusting them. The dependency gate grepped whole cargo tree lines, which include each package's checkout path. A consumer may vendor this repository underneath one of the forbidden crates -- tinyagents does exactly that, at vendor/tinyagents/vendor/tinytools -- so every line's path contained 'tinyagents' and the gate reported a dependency that is not there. It now cuts the version and path off and matches names exactly. Verified against the real tree: anyhow, async-trait, serde, serde_json and their proc-macro machinery, nothing else. The crate docs also linked to tinytools::ToolResult, which does not resolve from inside the crate itself. Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>

the four CI checks.
In `@crates/tinytools/Cargo.toml`:
- Line 10: Resolve the invalid readme declaration in the crate manifest: either
add the missing README.md at the manifest’s declared location or remove the
readme field, ensuring Cargo packaging no longer references an absent file.

- Line 19: Update ToolResult serialization to emit MCP-compatible isError and
map ToolContent::Json into structuredContent rather than a json content block,
using an adapter or custom representation as needed. Preserve standard
content-block serialization for other variants, and add interoperability tests
covering error results and structured JSON results.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 11: Update the README example’s dependency instructions to include
async-trait as a direct dependency, matching its use of
async_trait::async_trait; do not rely on tinytools to re-export the macro.

PermissionLevel (in both directions), not just a round-trip, so a
future serde rename fails the test instead of silently changing what
gets persisted in a transcript or RPC payload
- naming/types.rs: a zero (or otherwise degenerate) max_chars truncated
a genuinely present value down to an empty string and still returned
Some(""); treat an empty render the same as no detail and return None,
with a regression test
- README.md, lib.rs: replace the panicking args["text"] index in the

doesn't train tool authors toward indexing into untrusted JSON

Codex is right: the trait docs claimed the defaults were 'the conservative answer in every case except permission_level', and that is false in a way that matters. external_effect defaults to false, which means 'no approval needed' -- a tool that sends an email and forgets to override it is routed past the host's approval gate, and a missing override is indistinguishable from an honest false. Names the three defaults that are not cautious (external_effect, max_result_size_chars, permission_level), says which way each fails, and points a reviewer at what to check for absence in a Tool impl. Also repeats the warning on external_effect itself, where someone writing a tool will actually be looking. Documentation only; no behaviour change. Failing closed instead was considered and rejected: it would prompt on every file read, and this crate cannot tell a local tool from an effectful one. Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
- README.md, crates/tinytools/src/tool/README.md, docs/specs/tinytools-vocabulary.md: stop repeating the now-inaccurate 'every default is conservative except permission_level' claim in three more places after tool/types.rs's own doc comment was already corrected (487a87f); scope also defaults to the broad ToolScope::All, and external_effect/max_result_size_chars/permission_level are the three that actually fail open, not just permission_level - ci.yml: run the dependency-tree check with --all-features, matching the feature set every other CI job already validates with, so a future dependency gated behind a non-default feature can't bypass the allowlist unnoticed (currently a no-op: tinytools has no [features] table, verified with a diff against the non---all-features tree) - docs/specs/tinytools-vocabulary.md: point the README acceptance criterion at the actual packaged README.md (repo root), not an crates/tinytools/README.md that doesn't exist - docs/plans/tinytools-vocabulary.md: check off the verification checklist items that were actually run and passed, matching the Implemented status Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>

What this is
Reshapes this repository from the untouched
rust-templatecheckout into the crate it was created to hold: the vocabulary an agent tool is written against.That is a complete tool. Everything else on the trait has a default.
Why the crate exists
Two crates need these types and neither can own them. An agent harness has to name a tool's result to run a loop over it; a host application has to name the same result to implement one.
tinyagentsandopenhumaneach declared their own, and the seam between them was written by hand — which is how an error flag ends up inverted in one direction with nothing to catch it.Two duplications were already live when this landed, and both are now single definitions:
humanize_tool_name/context_detail_from_argsexisted in two copies. One of them carried a comment saying, in as many words, that two copies is how one silently stops stripping a prefix the other does.WorkspaceDescriptor/SandboxModecollapsed the same way.The template's module half is gone
crates/template(thecdylib) andvendor/tinybusare removed, leaving one library crate.A
Toolis anasynctrait returninganyhow::Result, so it cannot cross a TinyBus wire. Keeping the module half would have been dead weight that also dragged adlopenloader into every consumer's dependency floor. The module-packaging release workflow and its docs went with it rather than being left to fail on artifacts this repo no longer produces.Layout

The dependency edge points one way, and
ToolRunContextis what keeps it there.tinyagentsdepends on this crate, so this crate cannot nameToolExecutionContext— that would be a cycle. A tool that needs its isolated worktree root takesOption<&dyn ToolRunContext>, whichtinyagentsimplements for its own context type.The trait's width was chosen from measurement, not taste: across the 44 OpenHuman files touching the harness context, the only fields read were
.workspace(24 sites),.thread_id(1) and.max_turn_output_tokens(1). The run id, event sink and cancellation token are deliberately absent — a tool reaching for those is reaching into the run rather than doing its job.Nothing that decides anything lives here. The crate lets a tool declare the privilege it needs and whether it reaches outside the machine. What to do about those declarations stays with the host, whose threat model and configuration the decision depends on. Putting the check here would mean every host inherits one host's policy.
WorkspaceDescriptorfollows that line exactly: the type and its lexicalallows()gate are here, butenforce()— which needs an event sink and an error type — stays intinyagentsas a free function.#[non_exhaustive]was dropped from two structsToolCallOptionsandContextDetailOptionsare built with struct literals by consumers, whichnon_exhaustiveforbids outside the defining crate. Adding a field to either is a breaking change and should be visible as one.Verification
All CI steps run locally:
cargo fmt --all -- --checkcargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warningspedantic+ no-unwrap/expect/paniccargo test/--all-featuresRUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings cargo docThe whole dependency tree, verified rather than asserted:
anyhow,async-trait,serde,serde_json, and their proc-macro machinery. No transport, no runtime, notinyagents.Two CI bugs found by running the gates instead of trusting them
cargo treeprintsname vX.Y.Z (/path), and a consumer may vendor this repository underneath one of the forbidden crates —tinyagentsdoes exactly that, atvendor/tinyagents/vendor/tinytools— so every line's path containedtinyagentsand the gate reported a dependency that is not there. It now cuts the version and path off and matches names exactly.tinytools::ToolResult, which does not resolve from inside the crate.Consumers
tinyagentsvendors this repository atvendor/tinytoolsand re-exports it (tinyhumansai/tinyagents PR). OpenHuman reaches it through that same checkout — deliberately, because two path dependencies on one repository are two distinct cargo packages and two incompatibleToolResulttypes.Follow-up, not in this PR
There is no release workflow. Until one lands, consumers take this crate by path, which means
tinyagentscannot be published to crates.io while its dependency here is path-only. Publishing this crate is the prerequisite. Noted inAGENTS.mdrather than left to be rediscovered.Summary by CodeRabbit
