| /// Whether the host should require explicit human approval per call. | ||
| pub approval_required: bool, |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
approval_required lets the tool author decide whether the host should prompt, even though that decision varies with the host's threat model, configuration, and caller. When a host treats this new policy as canonical, a tool declaring false can bypass the host's expected approval gate; expose factual effects and access requirements here and let the host derive approval instead.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Replacing the public ToolTimeout::Secs variant with Millis breaks every existing consumer that constructs or matches Secs, but the workspace remains at 0.1.0. Bump the pre-1.0 minor version so consumers and the vendored gitlink update can identify this as a breaking API change.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
A repo-wide search under docs/specs/ and docs/plans/ finds no policy specification or implementation plan, so public decisions such as approval semantics and precedence between the two timeout fields are being introduced without the required accepted contract. Add the linked behavior specification and implementation-ordered plan for this new policy vocabulary.

ToolRuntime can carry conflicting numeric deadlines in timeout_ms and timeout: ToolTimeout::Millis(_); the added test even constructs 250 ms and 500 ms simultaneously. Tool::timeout_policy silently chooses the latter, while a host consuming the canonical serialized policy directly can reasonably choose the former, causing the same declaration to be enforced differently across hosts. Remove one representation or reject conflicting values.

ToolPolicy::read_only() marks every read-only tool as cooperatively cancelable, but read-only behavior does not imply that a blocking subprocess, FFI call, or other operation honors cancellation. A host relying on this declaration may use a cancellation path that cannot stop the work; leave cancelable false in this convenience constructor and require capable tools to set it explicitly.

Tiny Sweeper reviewAdds declarative ToolPolicy vocabulary and injected-argument/call-identity types, wiring policy into Tool trait defaults. Retains three pre-existing issues: breaking rename of ToolTimeout::Secs to Millis, ambiguous ToolDisplay constructor with None arguments, and missing Cargo.lock update. State: Changes requested Review snapshot
Completeness: Complete What changedAdded ToolPolicy, ToolSideEffects, ToolRuntime, ToolAccess, WorkspaceAccess, ToolDisplay types with serde support and builder methods. Added ToolCall, ToolCallId, ToolInjectedArgument, ToolInjectedArgumentSource, InjectedToolArguments, ToolArgumentPreparationError types and project_injected_arguments/prepare_tool_arguments functions. Modified ToolTimeout: removed Secs variant, added Millis variant with serde. Integrated policy into Tool trait: timeout_policy, display_label, display_detail now fallback to policy values. Added Tool::injected_arguments() default method. Updated documentation, specs, and tests. Bumped version to 0.2.0. Features

| fn policy(&self) -> ToolPolicy { | ||
| ToolPolicy::default() |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a tool overrides only policy() and declares payment or external_service, a host following the still-public external_effect_with_args() enforcement API receives false, because that method continues to delegate to the disconnected external_effect() default. Such a tool can therefore explicitly declare an outside effect yet bypass an existing host's approval gate; derive the legacy effect accessor from the canonical declaration or otherwise eliminate the two contradictory sources.

| ..ToolAccess::default() |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
For a read-only tool that still requires an interactive login, prompt, foreground terminal, or other user presence, this constructor marks it background_safe even though read-only behavior says nothing about non-interactive execution. A scheduler trusting the declaration may run such a tool where interaction is impossible, so leave this flag false and require the tool author to opt in explicitly.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When policy JSON is produced on a 64-bit system with max_result_bytes above u32::MAX, deserializing it on a 32-bit host fails because usize has a different range there. Since this field is part of the persisted policy wire contract, use a fixed-width integer such as u64 and let each host validate or clamp it when converting to an allocation size.

Keep the package README path valid
Cargo resolves this path relative to crates/tinytools/, but the repository has no crates/tinytools/README.md; the documented README is the repository-root README.md. Commands such as cargo package -p tinytools will fail when Cargo tries to read the missing file. Point the manifest back to the existing root README.
Additional security observation
Point the package metadata at the existing README
[RULE] invalid-package-metadata
Cargo resolves readme relative to the package directory, so this points at crates/tinytools/README.md, which does not exist; the repository README is one directory above. Commands such as cargo package --list -p tinytools and publishing will fail until the path is restored.

Preserve the public timeout variant
Replacing ToolTimeout::Secs(u64) with ToolTimeout::Millis(u64) breaks every downstream caller that constructs or matches the existing public variant; exhaustive matches also stop compiling. The change additionally changes the unit contract from seconds to milliseconds, so callers passing an existing value can get a different timeout if they migrate mechanically. Retain the existing variant and add a compatible millisecond representation, or make this an explicitly versioned breaking change with a migration path.

Forward existing declarations from the policy
A tool can now return a policy declaring network, writes_files, approval, or other non-default requirements, but the existing external_effect, permission_level, scope, and related methods still return their independent defaults. For example, an implementation returning ToolPolicy::classified().with_side_effects(ToolSideEffects { network: true, ..Default::default() }) still reports external_effect() == false to a host using the established API, potentially skipping an approval or safety gate. Either make the policy the source for all overlapping declaration methods or remove/explicitly deprecate the conflicting paths so callers cannot observe contradictory metadata.

Accept optional display strings without ambiguous None types
Because each parameter uses an independent impl Into<String>, calls such as ToolDisplay::new(None, None) or ToolDisplay::new(Some("label"), None) fail to compile: Rust cannot infer the hidden type for an untyped None. Both fields are explicitly optional, so this is a natural and likely caller path. Accept Option<String> directly (or provide a constructor design that gives None an inferable type).

Pin the timeout wire shape with a literal JSON test
This change makes ToolTimeout serializable and introduces a tagged wire representation, but the changed tests do not assert the literal JSON in either direction. A future rename of Millis, mode, or timeout_ms could silently change persisted/configured timeout payloads while round-trip tests would continue to pass. Add explicit serialization and deserialization assertions for Inherit, Unbounded, and Millis as required for wire-shape-bearing types.

Keep the packaged README path aligned with Cargo metadata
The repository guidance says the crate's readme points at the repository-root README.md, while this change makes the acceptance criterion validate crates/tinytools/README.md. Unless the Cargo metadata is changed elsewhere, this points maintainers at the wrong file and can let the actual packaged README drift from the public surface.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Reject or define conflicting timeout declarations
When a policy contains both runtime.timeout and runtime.timeout_ms, this method silently chooses runtime.timeout and discards timeout_ms unless the former is Inherit. That makes the same policy produce different effective declarations depending on which field happens to be populated, and a caller that sets the legacy timeout plus the new millisecond field can unknowingly run with the wrong deadline. Define one canonical field or explicitly validate/reject conflicting values before selecting the result.

Make optional display arguments type-inferable
This generic Option<impl Into<String>> signature cannot infer the concrete type for calls such as ToolDisplay::new(None, None), so the most natural way to construct an empty display fails to compile. Use concrete Option<String> parameters or provide a separate zero-argument constructor so omitted values have an unambiguous type.
Additional critique observation
Disambiguate optional display constructor arguments
[RULE] ambiguous-generic-api
A caller cannot write the natural ToolDisplay::new(None, Some("detail")) or ToolDisplay::new(Some("label"), None) without supplying an otherwise meaningless type annotation, because each None leaves its independent impl Into<String> type unconstrained. This makes the advertised optional API fail to compile at common call sites. Use a non-ambiguous signature or separate constructors for the absent-field cases.

Define precedence for the two timeout declarations
ToolRuntime exposes both a numeric timeout_ms and a ToolTimeout, whose bounded variant also carries a timeout value. A serialized policy can therefore declare contradictory values or combine timeout_ms with Unbounded, but this type defines no precedence or validation rule. Hosts consuming the declaration can consequently enforce a different timeout from the one the policy author intended. Remove the duplicate representation or document and enforce one deterministic precedence.
Additional critique observation
Define precedence for the two timeout declarations
[RULE] conflicting-declarations
A policy can set both timeout_ms and timeout, but this type defines no precedence or validation. For example, timeout_ms: Some(1000) together with timeout: ToolTimeout::Unbounded serializes both contradictory instructions, leaving each host to choose whether the call is bounded or unbounded. Remove the redundant field, make the fields mutually exclusive, or document and enforce a single precedence rule before callers persist or transmit this policy.

Reject or define conflicting timeout declarations
ToolRuntime can carry both timeout and timeout_ms, but this default implementation silently gives the enum precedence whenever timeout is not Inherit. A policy containing ToolTimeout::Millis(1000) and timeout_ms: Some(2000) therefore reports 1000 ms without indicating that the other declaration was ignored. Reject conflicting declarations or document and pin one precedence rule with a dedicated test so policy authors cannot accidentally configure a different effective timeout than intended.

The workspace package version now differs from the version recorded for the package in Cargo.lock. Commit the regenerated lockfile so reproducible builds and release checks use the same workspace version.

When a host includes InjectedToolArguments in tracing or diagnostic output, the derived Debug implementation prints the entire map, including the credentials and other sensitive values this type is explicitly intended to keep out of durable data. Implement a redacted Debug representation—such as exposing only argument names—rather than deriving one that reveals the values.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
For policies built from struct literals or deserialized registry data, read_only can be true at the same time as writes_files, installs_dependencies, destructive, or payment (the new fully populated wire test constructs exactly such a value). A host trusting the documented read_only assertion can therefore classify the same declaration differently from one using has_side_effects(), potentially bypassing stricter handling; remove the redundant flag, encode mutually exclusive states, or validate these combinations before they become an accepted policy.

When a valid object schema expresses constraints outside top-level properties and required—for example through dependentRequired, allOf, or a root $ref—this function leaves those references intact. A schema using additionalProperties: false and dependentRequired: {"action":["account_id"]} becomes unsatisfiable after account_id is removed from properties, while a $ref-based schema still advertises the protected field to the model. Because parameters_schema accepts arbitrary JSON Schema and this projection is model-facing, either project all relevant constraints or reject unsupported schema shapes.

Preserve the public timeout variant
Replacing the existing ToolTimeout::Secs usage with ToolTimeout::Millis reflects a breaking removal or rename of a public enum variant. A downstream caller such as ToolTimeout::Secs(30) will no longer compile, even though the timeout declaration is part of the crate's public API. Retain the existing variant for compatibility, or provide an explicit compatibility path while introducing millisecond precision.

Document every direct dependency used by the example
The example also names serde_json and anyhow in the Tool implementation, but the closing guidance only tells tool authors to add async-trait. A downstream crate following this README therefore fails to compile unless it independently declares the other two direct dependencies as well; they are not made available merely because tinytools depends on them. Mention all three dependencies here, or rewrite the example to use re-exported or otherwise available types.

Reject conflicting timeout declarations
When both fields are populated, this silently gives runtime.timeout precedence and discards timeout_ms. A policy such as timeout: ToolTimeout::Millis(100) with timeout_ms: Some(250) therefore reports 100 ms, while Unbounded plus Some(250) reports unbounded. The serialized policy can carry contradictory instructions and different hosts may interpret them differently. Remove the duplicate representation or validate and reject conflicting combinations before selecting a timeout.

Forward existing declarations from the policy
The new canonical policy() declaration is not reflected by the existing permission_level, scope, category, external_effect, max_result_size_chars, and related methods, which continue returning independent defaults. A tool can therefore return a policy requiring external effects, elevated permission, or restricted scope while a host using the established methods observes safe defaults and can skip the corresponding gate. Make overlapping methods derive their answers from policy() or remove/deprecate the conflicting declaration paths.
