# Tools
The tool pipeline of [dsh-tools](../../packages/core/tools). [core.md](core.md) introduces `ToolDefinition` as the one pipeline-authoring type promoted to the spine and `ToolSchema` as the model-facing wire shape. This page owns the full `ToolDefinition`, the typed schema DSL that builds it, the waterfall execution shapes, and the UI-presentation vocabulary.

`defineTool({ name, description, parameters, execute, … })` ties it together: `parameters` is a `SchemaSpec`, `execute(args, exec)` gets `args: InferArgs<typeof parameters>`, and the helper converts the spec to JSON Schema (`schemaSpecToJsonSchema`) for the wire and validates model-generated args (`validateArgs`) before the typed body runs. A mismatch throws `ToolArgsError` (`code: 'INVALID_ARGS'`), which the registry turns into an `isError` result so the model can self-correct. Why a custom DSL and not schemastery: tool parameters need JSON Schema (the LLM wire format), not validation/transformation — the lightweight DSL gives the best authoring DX with the smallest surface.
## Execution: the `tools/pre-execute` / `tools/post-execute` pipeline shapes
Registration is a value boundary. `ToolRegistry.register()` validates `ToolDefinition.parameters` as lossless JSON before and after cloning, copies the scalar fields, binds the execute/presentation callbacks once to the original definition as their method receiver, and deep-freezes the stored record. Replacing a callback property on the caller-owned definition later does not change dispatch. `get()`/`visible()` expose only that frozen snapshot, while `schemas()` produces detached projections, so the model-visible and executable views cannot drift through a leaked mutable registry object.
`ctx.tools.execute()` runs each call through a two-waterfall pipeline — `tools/pre-execute` (the allow/deny/ask gate) → core dispatch → `tools/post-execute` (inspect/replace the result, attach context) — the seams where sandbox, permission, hook, and plan-mode plugins gate or transform a call. The pending call is a `ToolExecution`; the outcome is a `ToolExecutionResult`.
## Execution: extensible waterfalls plus monotonic policy
`ctx.tools.execute()` accepts a caller-owned `ToolExecutionInput`, snapshots it into a pipeline-owned `ToolExecution`, and runs that call through `tools/pre-execute` (the reorderable allow/deny/ask waterfall) → registered monotonic guards → `tools/execute` (around-dispatch wrappers) → `tools/post-execute` (inspect/replace the result) → `tools/result` (the immutable authoritative outcome). The outcome is a `ToolExecutionResult`.
```ts type-equiv
interface ToolExecution {
callId: CallId
name: string
interface ToolExecutionToken {
readonly [toolExecutionTokenBrand]: true
}
```
```ts type-equiv
interface ToolExecutionInput {
readonly callId: CallId

```
`ToolExecutionToken` is a compile-time opaque type and a frozen, property-free object at runtime; identity comparison is its only operation. Before policy runs, `ctx.tools.execute()` requires the caller's `arguments` to be losslessly JSON-serializable, checks again after cloning to contain unstable accessors, assigns a fresh token, and deep-freezes the detached arguments. A cloneable mutable exotic such as `Map` is rejected and normalized to an error before policy. `token`, `callId`, `name`, `arguments`, `agent`, and the optional `parent` token are non-writable throughout all waterfalls, so a listener cannot change which capability or scope was authorized or reach a live enclosing execution; an around-dispatch wrapper may add, replace, or remove only optional `signal`. After the complete pipeline the registry freezes the execution and exposes its stable identity to `tools/result` observers, where the execution remains usable as a `WeakMap` key without mutation races.
A `ToolGuard` is scope-aware final pre-dispatch policy. Its shape deliberately has no allow result: `undefined` preserves the waterfall decision, while a returned reason can only reduce permission, so a later listener cannot undo it.

type ToolGuard = (execution: Readonly<ToolExecution>) => string | undefined

Each interception waterfall returns a typed **Decision** (the idiom shared with the `agent/*` seams). `tools/pre-execute` listeners receive `(exec, next)` and return a `PreToolDecision`; `tools/post-execute` listeners receive `(exec, result, next)` and return a `PostToolDecision`:
The registry rebuilds and validates the complete authoritative result after post-policy. Its content, structured error, additional context, and presentation metadata must round-trip losslessly through JSON; a malformed or non-JSON value becomes a JSON-safe `isError` result before `tools/result` observers run, so the live outcome is always safe for the later durable `tool/result` append.

Call `next()` to delegate to the default (allow / accept-unchanged), or return a decision to short-circuit. A `pre-execute` `deny` (or `ask`, which degrades to deny until the permission system lands) skips dispatch and yields an `isError` result; input rewrite is deliberately NOT offered on `PreToolDecision` (it would desync the pre-execution audit/history/UI from what ran — its own proposed RFC). A `post-execute` `accept` may replace the model-facing `content` (clean, because `tool/result` is logged after `execute()` returns); a `block` turns the call into an `isError` whose content is the corrective `feedback`. Core dispatch sits between the waterfalls as plain code; the tool body keeps its own try/catch so a thrown tool still reaches `post-execute` as an `isError`. An unregistered tool routes through the same catch as a tool-thrown error, so both failure classes get a structured `{ name, code }` (`ToolNotFoundError` → `UNKNOWN_TOOL`) — the loop records a failed tool call instead of failing the whole turn.

The awaited `tools/result` notification then receives the frozen execution identity and a deep-frozen result snapshot after every wrapper, post decision, and outer error catch; observers cannot transform the outcome or race each other through payload mutation, and one observer failure neither changes the result nor starves peers.
