Tianyi Cui 2df41ee1d3 fix: make the six registration methods atomic under a throwing change-listener (P1-1)
llm.registerAdapter, agents.register, sessions.create, systemPrompt.section,
systemPrompt.tools, and tools.register each mutated state, emitted a change
event, then returned the disposer. In Cordis a synchronous throw before the
effect returns its disposer leaves nothing for the fiber to collect, so a
throwing change-listener leaked the registry entry permanently — HMR/dispose
could not clean it, and the duplicate-name/already-exists check stayed wedged
until restart.

Convert each to the generator-effect pattern already proven in
AgentLoop.create: mutate state, `yield` the disposer that undoes it (collected
before the next step runs, so it is torn down if a later step throws), THEN
emit the change event. The existing duplicate-name throws are unchanged — they
fire before any mutation, so they correctly leak nothing. No public API change:
generator effects are still synchronous SyncEffects and register() keeps
returning its fire-and-forget disposer wrapper.

Tests: a listener-throw rollback test for all six methods — register with a
change-listener that throws, assert the call throws AND the registry is clean
(entry absent; a subsequent listener-free register of the same name succeeds
and contributes exactly once). For systemPrompt (no duplicate-name check) the
two tests assert assembly is clean. Verified each fails against the pre-fix
emit-before-return-disposer form.

dsh-tools

Tool registry and execution waterfall. Tool plugins register their schemas and executors; the agent loop executes calls through the tools/execute waterfall.

Service: ToolRegistry (ctx key: tools)

Public API

  • ctx.tools.register(definition: ToolDefinition): () => void Register a tool. Disposed with the calling fiber.
  • ctx.tools.get(name: string): ToolDefinition | undefined
  • ctx.tools.schemas(): ToolSchema[] Schemas of all registered tools (without the execute functions).
  • ctx.tools.execute(exec: ToolExecution): Promise<ToolExecutionResult> Execute one tool call through the tools/execute waterfall.

Injected services

SystemPrompt — the registry automatically feeds its tool schemas into the system-prompt assembly via ctx.systemPrompt.tools().

Events

Event Mode Purpose
tools/execute waterfall Wrap/veto tool execution (sandbox, permission, hooks, plan mode)
tools/change emit A tool was registered or unregistered

Key types

  • ToolDefinitionToolSchema + execute(args, exec): Promise<ContentBlock[]>.
  • ToolExecution — one pending tool call: { callId, name, arguments, agent?, signal? }.
  • ToolExecutionResult — outcome: { callId, content, isError, error? }. On failure with a HarnessError, error: { name, code } carries the structured failure class alongside the model-facing text (the loop forwards it onto the tool/result session event for retry/sandbox plugins and replay).

Extension points

  • Tool plugins call ctx.tools.register() — schemas flow into the assembly automatically.
  • The tools/execute waterfall is the single seam for sandbox, permission, hooks, and plan-mode plugins to wrap or veto a call. Listeners receive (exec, next): call next() to proceed, or return a result without calling next() to short-circuit (veto).
  • MCP servers: one plugin per server, discover tools, call ctx.tools.register() with the server's schemas.

Typed tool parameter schemas

First-party plugin authors can use the defineTool() helper (exported from this package) for typed tool parameter schemas:

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import type { Context } from 'cordis'
import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'

declare const ctx: Context

ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
  name: 'read_file',
  description: 'Read a file from disk.',
  parameters: {
    path: { type: 'string', required: true, description: 'Absolute file path' },
    offset: { type: 'number' },
    limit: { type: 'number' },
  },
  async execute(args, exec) {
    // args is typed: { path: string; offset?: number; limit?: number }
    const text = await readFile(args.path, 'utf8')
    return [{ type: 'text', text }]
  },
}))

The helper converts the author-facing SchemaSpec (with required: true as a per-property boolean) to standard JSON Schema for the wire format. Raw JSON-Schema tool definitions (from MCP servers) are still accepted by the registry directly.

A defineTool tool also validates the model-generated arguments against its SchemaSpec before execute runs (validateArgs). The model's JSON is untrusted — InferArgs<S> is a compile-time claim, not a runtime guarantee — so on a mismatch (missing required key, wrong primitive, bad enum member, nested violation) the tool throws a ToolArgsError (code: 'INVALID_ARGS'); the registry turns it into an isError result whose text lists the violations, which the model sees and self-corrects from. Validation mirrors the JSON Schema conversion exactly: extra keys are allowed, default is not applied, and an object/array prop without properties/items only type-checks. Raw-registered tools (MCP) are not validated by the harness — they validate their own input.

See defineTool, validateArgs, ToolArgsError, SchemaSpec, InferArgs, and schemaSpecToJsonSchema in the public API for details.

What is NOT here (TODO)

  • Tool shapes review — when real tools land (e.g. a concurrency-safety hint for parallel execution); phase 1 executes tool calls sequentially.
  • Parallel execution — the loop currently iterates tool calls sequentially.
