WebService exposed an observation surface nothing in production observes: the web/providers-change event (declared, emitted on every provider registration/disposal, rollback-yield ordered before the emit solely so a throwing change listener unwinds the registration) and the aggregated searchStatus()/fetchStatus() query with its WebCapabilityStatus union. dsh-tool-web executes through ctx.web.search()/fetch() and routes on the structured WebError codes selection throws at execution time; tool registration follows product enablement, not provider availability. The only listeners/callers were the web packages' own tests, and the tool-web README / architecture.md prose claiming the tool 'reads only the aggregated searchStatus()/fetchStatus()' had drifted from the call sites. Remove the event declaration, both emits, and the rollback-before-emit machinery (the plain ctx.effect disposer keeps HMR cleanup, matching LlmService.registerAdapter). Remove searchStatus()/fetchStatus(), resolveStatus(), and WebCapabilityStatus; the provider-private status() stays as the execution-time selection input. Delete the listener-throw rollback test, and rewrite every event/status assertion across the web packages' tests onto caller-observable behavior: a successful search()/fetch() or the structured WEB_PROVIDER_* codes. Regenerate the cordis catalog; update the web/tool-web READMEs, the architecture.md web paragraph, core-data-structures/web.md, and the type-equiv manifest; amend the web capability seam RFC's facts to the shipped surface. This follows the llm/adapter-change precedent: a boot-time backend-registry signal and an availability probe distinct from executing both sit on the cut side of its keep/cut criterion.

@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.
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 (WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS = 8) and passes it to the seam. |
web_fetch |
url (string), timeout_ms (number, optional) |
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. |
Config
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
search |
true |
Register web_search. |
fetch |
true |
Register web_fetch. |

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.
