Tool review
Review the tools discovered on a server, what changes between discoveries and why a tool reaches agents only after review.
A tool is available to agents only after review. Review exists because the tool schema comes from the server, and the server can change at any time: a new tool, an extra argument, a tool that disappears.
Reviewing discovered tools
Discover tools, in the connection dialog, or Edit & discover and Discover tools on an existing server, call the server and open the review:
- The header shows the server and how many tools are available and selected.
- The notice explains: "New, changed, and removed rows are highlighted. Changed and removed tools stay disabled until reviewed. Unchanged settings are retained."
- Select all available tools checks them all.
- Each tool shows its name, description, annotations and Contract and metadata.
- Confirm review approves the selection. Approved tools enter the server catalog.
What happens when the server changes
A changed tool stays disabled until review because the new schema can change what the tool does: a new argument may be exactly the value a rule needs to check. The Overview counts how many tools wait for review, and the Inbox gets a Tool discovery signal.
After review, the tool can be granted to agents, and rules on it limit each call by its arguments and by trusted attributes.
