#1 merged at 6b922f7 while the last two review rounds were still in flight, so these two commits never made it into main. They are the fixes for those rounds.

ToolScope::All is a permissive default, not a cautious one

#1 added a section naming the Tool trait defaults that fail open, after Codex correctly pointed out that calling them all "conservative" was false — external_effect defaults to false, meaning no approval needed, so an effectful tool that omits the override is routed past a host's approval gate.

That section then made the same mistake once more, listing scope among the cautious defaults. ToolScope::All is the widest setting there is: it offers the tool to the autonomous agent loop, the CLI and RPC alike. A tool that should only ever be driven deliberately by a human has to say CliRpcOnly; leaving the default hands it to the loop.

So three permissive defaults become four (external_effect, max_result_size_chars, permission_level, scope), and the two that genuinely are cautious are now named rather than implied:

  • is_concurrency_safefalse, so nothing is dispatched in parallel unless a tool opts in
  • timeout_policy — inherits the host's bound rather than opting out of it

The heading no longer claims "two of them fail OPEN", which was stale by the same count.

README: the workspace module was missing from the public-surface table

WorkspaceDescriptor and SandboxMode were exported when that module landed, but the table predates it. Its absence was actively misleading rather than merely incomplete: WorkspaceDescriptor is the type ToolRunContext::workspace hands back, so a reader working out how a tool discovers its allowed root had no entry pointing at it.

CI: say why the checkouts take no submodules

The template's checkout steps carried submodules: recursive for the vendored tinybus the module half needed. Both went away together in #1, but a removed line explains nothing to the next reader — and a reviewer flagged exactly that, asking for either the option back or a comment confirming none is needed.

The comment is the accurate answer. This repository has no .gitmodules and no gitlink in its tree; restoring the option would fetch nothing and imply a dependency the crate does not have.

Verification

cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings, cargo test --all-features (59 tests + doctest) and RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings cargo doc all clean.

Documentation and a CI comment only — no behaviour change.

Blocks tinyhumansai/tinyagents#127, whose vendor/tinytools gitlink points at 3fe4511 and cannot be re-pointed at main until this lands.

The template's checkout steps carried 'submodules: recursive' for the
vendored tinybus the module half needed. Both went away together, so
the option was dropped -- but a removed line explains nothing to the
next reader, and a reviewer flagged exactly that.

This repository has no .gitmodules and no gitlink in its tree. Says so
at the first checkout step.

Codex again, and again correct. The section added in the previous
commit listed scope() among the cautious defaults, but ToolScope::All
is the widest setting there is -- it offers the tool to the autonomous
agent loop, the CLI and RPC alike. A tool that should only ever be
driven deliberately by a human has to say CliRpcOnly; leaving the
default hands it to the loop.

Three permissive defaults became four, and the two that are genuinely
cautious are now named as such rather than implied.

Also adds the workspace module to the README's public-surface table.
WorkspaceDescriptor and SandboxMode were exported when that module
landed, but the table predates it.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates Tool safety documentation, documents workspace types in the README, and explains the CI checkout configuration. No code behavior or public declarations change.

Changes

Documentation and CI clarification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool and workspace documentation
crates/tinytools/src/tool/types.rs, README.md
The Tool documentation now identifies cautious and permissive defaults, including scope. The README lists WorkspaceDescriptor and SandboxMode.
CI checkout rationale
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The checkout step documents why no submodule configuration is present.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3fe45

The PR corrects the documented default scope behavior, but the README still presents scope as cautious and omits it from the permissive-default list, which could mislead tool authors about autonomous exposure. This is a localized documentation issue and the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit hops through docs so clear

Tool defaults now have names to hear
Workspace bounds sit in the chart
CI knows why submodules stay apart
Neat little notes make reviews start

Align the README safety summary with this classification.

README.md still describes scope as a cautious default and lists only three permissive defaults at Lines 90-96. This change correctly classifies ToolScope::All as permissive. Update that README paragraph so the safety guidance is consistent.

P2 Badge Keep the README defaults summary aligned

This correction now conflicts with README.md:90-96, which still describes scope = All as cautious and says only three defaults fail open. Readers following the README will therefore receive exactly the guidance this rustdoc change is intended to correct; update that summary to count scope among the four permissive defaults.
