# RFC: Generated tool-schema catalog (boot-and-harvest)
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-07-02)
## Context
A reader — a plugin author, a prompt engineer, someone auditing what the agent can do — has no single place that lists the model-facing tools the harness ships. The `name` / `description` / JSON-Schema `parameters` a tool contributes are what the model actually receives (via `ctx.systemPrompt.tools()` off `ctx.tools.schemas()`), but they are scattered across each `defineTool` call in each `packages/*/tool-*` package, buried in string concatenation and runtime spreads. The [cordis events & services catalog](../../../cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md) ([its RFC](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md)) documents the *wiring* a plugin works against and the [core-data-structures catalog](../../../core-data-structures/core.md) documents the *vocabulary* those signatures move — but neither documents the *tools* the agent is offered. This RFC adds that third reference surface, `docs/tool-catalog/tools.md`, and a freshness gate so it cannot drift.
## Decision
Generate the catalog by **booting each tool plugin and reading its registered schemas**, not by parsing source. `scripts/gen-tool-catalog.ts` mounts each shipped tool package on a fresh cordis `Context` (with `SystemPrompt` + `ToolRegistry` and the injected seams the plugin's `apply` reads), calls `ctx.tools.schemas()` — exactly the `ToolSchema[]` the model is sent — disposes the context, and renders one `## <package>` section per package with a ` ```json ` `parameters` block per tool. It mirrors the `gen-cordis-catalog` / `gen-module-graph` CLI shape: default `--write` regenerates, `--check` fails if the committed copy is stale, output is deterministic (manifest-ordered, tools sorted by name). `verify-tool-catalog` (the `--check`) runs inside `doc-sync`, so the freshness gate fires in the same lefthook pre-push and CI paths as every other doc gate.
### Why boot, not parse (the crux)
The cordis catalog is a pure TypeScript-AST pass because every event/service name is a string literal that round-trips to a static declaration — the AST is the whole truth. **Tool schemas are not statically knowable**, so the same technique would produce a doc that lies:
- `tool-todo` writes `enum: [...STATUSES]` — a spread of a runtime `const`. The AST sees the spread expression, not `["pending","in_progress","completed"]`.
- Every description is built by string **concatenation** (`'…' + '…'`). The AST sees concatenation nodes, not the final prose the model reads.
- `tool-subagent`'s tool name is `config.toolName ?? 'subagent'` — chosen at load, not a literal.
- An MCP plugin can register **raw JSON Schema** directly via `ctx.tools.register()` without `defineTool` at all, so enumerating `defineTool(` call sites structurally under-counts.
The only faithful source of truth is the schema the registry actually holds after the plugin loads. Booting is the [unit-test discipline](../../../../AGENTS.md) "verify the world, not a synthetic stand-in" applied to a doc generator: read the shipped artifact, not a re-derivation of it.
### Restoring "nothing silently omitted"
Booting has a cost the AST pass did not: there is no source declaration set to enumerate, so a new tool package could simply be forgotten. A **completeness guard** restores the guarantee — `assertManifestComplete` globs every `tool-*` package under `packages/` and hard-errors if any is absent from the generator's boot manifest. A new tool package fails the generator, and therefore `doc-sync`, until it is registered. This is the same structural property the cordis generator gets for free from enumerating source, re-created for a boot-based generator.
### A hand-maintained boot manifest is the irreducible policy
The boot manifest (`TOOL_PACKAGES`) is a hand-written list — in tension with the proposed [Discover package inventories instead of maintaining static lists](../../proposed/process/2026-06-20-discover-package-inventory.md). The tension is deliberate and resolved as follows: the *inventory* is discovered (the glob guard means no one maintains "the list of tool packages" — the filesystem is the source of truth, and drift fails the gate), but the *boot recipe* per package — which seams to plug (`bash-local` for `ctx.bash`, `subagent` + `subagent-mock` for `ctx.subagents`) and with what config (`{ provider: 'mock' }`) — is genuine policy that no layout fact encodes. Per that RFC's own "what we give up" ("stay boring: read manifests, filter on explicit fields, print the resolved list, and fail loud"), a recipe closure is the boring, explicit form; inferring seam wiring from injects would be the "too clever" path it warns against. So: discovered inventory, hand-written recipe, gate on completeness.
### Scope
Shipped product tool PACKAGES under `packages/*/tool-*`, each booted with its default config: `dsh-tool-bash` (`bash`, `bash_output`, `bash_kill`), `dsh-tool-todo` (`todo_write`), `dsh-tool-subagent` (`subagent`). The `examples/` demo tools (`echo`) are excluded, matching the cordis catalog's packages-only scope — a demo tool is not part of the product surface a reader is cataloguing.
The unit is the PACKAGE, not the deployed tool instance. A package's registered tool name can be a load-time config — `tool-subagent`'s `toolName` — so the same package surfaces as `subagent` (spawn backend) AND `subagent_fork` (fork backend) in the shipped `coding-agent` / `acp-agent` configs, with an identical schema. The generator boots each package once at its default and records such shipped aliases in a per-package note, rather than enumerating every deployment permutation. Cataloguing at the package level keeps the source of truth the package (what a plugin author reads) and avoids leaking example-app `cordis.yml` config into a packages-scoped generator; the note keeps the doc honest about the names a reader will actually see the model receive. The design deliberately does not attempt to catalog "every configured tool instance across every leaf config" — that is a deployment inventory, a different (and unbounded) surface.
### A plain `json` fence
Schema blocks use ` ```json `, not a bespoke `ts`-family fence. `doc-typecheck` only extracts `ts*` fences, so a JSON block is invisible to it — no `BlockKind` wiring is needed (unlike the cordis catalog's `ts cordis-catalog` fence, which had to be allowlisted so a bare signature fragment isn't compiled).
## Consequences
- The catalog cannot drift: a tool schema change the committed file doesn't reflect fails `verify-tool-catalog` in the pre-push hook and CI. A new `tool-*` package not added to the manifest fails the completeness guard outright.
- Tool description prose has a single home — the `defineTool` `description` at the source — and the generated entry is only as good as it, the same forcing function the cordis catalog applies to event JSDoc.
- The generator imports and executes workspace packages (the first repo script to do so; the others only read text). It runs under `tsx` via the root `tsconfig` `paths` map, the same unbuilt-source path the demos and tests use, so it needs no build step.
- A new capability seam behind a future tool means a new manifest recipe entry (which seams to mount). This is the deliberate hand-written cost called out above; it changes only when a tool package is added.

# Tool Schema Catalog
Every model-facing tool a shipped plugin contributes to `ctx.tools`: the `name`, `description`, and JSON-Schema `parameters` the model receives via the system-prompt assembly. It complements the [cordis events & services catalog](../cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md) (the wiring a plugin listens to and calls) and [core-data-structures/](../core-data-structures/core.md) (the types those signatures move) — this page is the *tools* the agent is offered.
This file is GENERATED and verified fresh by `pnpm run verify-tool-catalog` (part of `doc-sync`) — do not edit it by hand. Unlike the cordis catalog (a pure source-AST pass), this generator BOOTS each tool plugin on a real context and reads `ctx.tools.schemas()`, because a tool schema is not statically knowable (runtime-spread enums, concatenated descriptions, config-driven names, raw-JSON-Schema MCP tools). A completeness guard globs `packages/*/tool-*` and fails if any package is missing from the generator's boot manifest, so a new tool cannot be silently undocumented. See [the tool-schema-catalog RFC](../rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-02-tool-schema-catalog.md).
Scope: shipped product tools under `packages/*/tool-*`, each booted with its DEFAULT config. The registered tool NAME can be a load-time config (e.g. `tool-subagent`'s `toolName`), so a deployment may surface a package under a different or additional name — a per-package note records those shipped aliases where they exist. The `examples/` demo tools (e.g. `echo`) are excluded, matching the cordis catalog's packages-only scope.
## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash`
### `bash`
Execute a bash command (`bash -c`) and return its stdout/stderr. Each call runs in a fresh shell: no state (cwd, variables, functions) persists between calls — pass `workdir` instead of using `cd`. Non-zero exits are reported as `[exit code: N]`. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; poll it with `bash_output` and stop it with `bash_kill`.
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"command": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The bash command to execute."
},
"description": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Clear, concise description of what this command does in active voice, 5-10 words (shown in the UI). Examples: \"ls\" → \"List files in current directory\"; \"git status\" → \"Show working tree status\"; \"npm install\" → \"Install package dependencies\"."
},
"timeoutMs": {
"type": "number",
"description": "Timeout in milliseconds. The executor applies its configured default and cap, and kills the command on expiry."
},
"workdir": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Working directory for this command. Defaults to the session workspace; a relative path is resolved against it."
},
"run_in_background": {
"type": "boolean",
"description": "Run in the background and return a task id immediately. No timeout applies."
}
},
"required": [
"command",
"description"
]
}
```
Source: [`packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`](../../packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts)
### `bash_kill`
Ask the executor to kill a running background bash task by task id.
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"task_id": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Task id returned by the bash tool."
}
},
"required": [
"task_id"
]
}
```
Source: [`packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`](../../packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts)
### `bash_output`
Read new output from a background bash task started with `bash` + `run_in_background`. Returns only output produced since the previous bash_output call, plus the task status. Tasks keep running while you do other work; poll again later for more output.
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"task_id": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Task id returned by the bash tool."
}
},
"required": [
"task_id"
]
}
```
Source: [`packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`](../../packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts)
## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-subagent`
### `subagent`
Delegate a self-contained task to a subagent (a separate agent that works in its own context) and return its final result. Use this to offload focused, independent work — research, a scoped implementation, an analysis — so it does not consume this conversation's context. The subagent runs to completion and you receive only its final answer, not its intermediate steps. Give it a complete, standalone prompt: it does not see this conversation.
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"description": {
"type": "string",
"description": "A short (3-5 word) description of the delegated task, for display."
},
"prompt": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The complete, self-contained task for the subagent. It does not share this conversation's context, so include everything it needs."
}
},
"required": [
"description",
"prompt"
]
}
```
Source: [`packages/subagent/tool-subagent/src/index.ts`](../../packages/subagent/tool-subagent/src/index.ts)
The registered tool name is the load-time `toolName` config (default `subagent`); the schema above is that default. The shipped example agents load this package once per subagent backend, so the model additionally sees `subagent_fork` (bound to the fork backend) with an identical schema — see `examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml` and `examples/acp-agent/cordis.yml`.
## `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo`
### `todo_write`
Record and update a structured task list for the current work. Send the ENTIRE list every call — it REPLACES the previous list (there are no partial updates, no per-item edits). Use it to plan multi-step work and show progress: add one todo per concrete step before you start. Keep AT MOST ONE todo `in_progress` at a time; while work remains, exactly one active task should be `in_progress`. Mark a todo `completed` the moment it is done (do not batch completions), and allow no `in_progress` item only once all work is complete. Skip the list for trivial single-step tasks. Statuses: `pending` (not started), `in_progress` (being worked on now), `completed` (finished).
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"todos": {
"type": "array",
"description": "The COMPLETE task list, replacing any previous list.",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"content": {
"type": "string",
"description": "What the task is — a short imperative line."
},
"status": {
"type": "string",
"description": "pending (not started) | in_progress (now) | completed (done).",
"enum": [
"pending",
"in_progress",
"completed"
]
}
},
"required": [
"content",
"status"
]
}
}
},
"required": [
"todos"
]
}
```
