Model-facing tool-call budgets were tangled into each capability's schema (bash timeoutMs, web_fetch timeout_ms) with no shared home. Add a tools/execute around-dispatch waterfall to dsh-tools whose base next() is the dispatch-with-normalization thunk, and a new @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy plugin (packages/timeout/) that arms a per-tool deadline on exec.signal and returns a structured TOOL_TIMEOUT when it wins. Migrate web_fetch (drop the model-facing timeout_ms) and web_search onto it; the fetch provider keeps its timeout only as a resource backstop for direct callers. bash and hook command execution keep BASH_TIMEOUT unchanged. Named the plugin timeout-policy (not the RFC's tool-timeout) so it does not trip the gen-tool-catalog packages/*/tool-* completeness guard, and replace exec.signal by in-place mutation before next() since cordis waterfall next() ignores passed arguments. RFC moved to implemented/ recording both deviations.
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-web
The model-facing web tool suite — web_search and web_fetch — over the web capability seam (ctx.web). It owns model-facing concerns only: tool names, JSON schemas, snake_case argument names, prompt sections, the result-count bound, result formatting, HTML→markdown presentation, and presentCall. All web access goes through ctx.web; this package never imports a concrete provider. Neither tool exposes a model-facing timeout — the tool-call budget is deployment policy owned by @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy (a tools/execute wrapper); each tool just forwards exec.signal to the seam.
Each tool is registered independently; a product that wants only one disables the other via config ({ search: false } / { fetch: false }).
Tools
| Tool | Args | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
web_search |
query (string) |
Discovery. Returns an optional answer plus source URLs. max_results is not model-facing — the tool sets the bound (the searchMaxResults config, default 8) and passes it to the seam. |
web_fetch |
url (string) |
Retrieves a specific URL. HTML bodies are rendered to markdown-ish text; text bodies pass through. A non-2xx status is reported, not an error. The tool-call timeout is deployment policy (dsh-timeout-policy), not a model argument. |
Config
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
search |
true |
Register web_search. |
fetch |
true |
Register web_fetch. |
searchMaxResults |
8 |
Upper bound on sources returned by one web_search call (the seam truncates a longer provider list and flags it). |

Stable registration
Tool registration follows product enablement, not backend availability. A tool stays visible even when its selected provider is missing, misconfigured, ambiguous, or temporarily unavailable; the seam resolves the provider at execution time and execution fails with a structured WebError (e.g. WEB_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE, WEB_PROVIDER_AMBIGUOUS), which ToolRegistry.execute() turns into an error tool result the model can read and hooks/UI can route on. This keeps the model schema stable without making plugin load order, credential state, or HMR timing part of the model-facing contract. To remove a web tool entirely, disable it here in config.
The tool never calls a provider's status() and never enumerates providers — its only execution path is ctx.web.search() / ctx.web.fetch(), and provider unavailability reaches it as the structured WebError codes selection throws at execution time. Provider selection stays entirely inside the seam, with one owner.
