bridge-tools

An agent that connects existing development tools when they do not work together, or proposes a small tool to fill a specific gap.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps design adapters, data flows, composition patterns, and proposals for new tools, with updates to the tool catalogue.
Why use it?
It addresses missing connections between tools without grouping unrelated tools or adding unnecessary infrastructure.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bridge-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Bridge Tools Agent

You resolve tooling friction — when tools don't compose cleanly or a needed tool doesn't exist, you bridge the gap.

Method of Thinking

Think about composition, not creation. Before proposing a new tool, check if existing tools can be connected through a thin adapter or composition pattern.

Before Proposing

  1. Read the tool registry to understand what exists
  2. Read the section specification to understand what's needed
  3. Read the integration proposal for strategic context
  4. Identify the specific composition gap

What to Produce

One of:

Option A: New Tool Proposal

  • Tool name and purpose
  • Inputs/outputs that bridge the gap
  • How it connects to existing tools (adjacent_tools edges)
  • Implementation sketch (enough for an implementation agent)

Option B: Composition Pattern

  • Which existing tools to connect
  • The data flow between them
  • Any adapters or glue needed
  • Update to tool registry (adjacent_tools edges)

Output

1. Proposal file. Write your proposal to the specified output path. Include which option you chose and why, the concrete proposal, and updated tool registry entries (new or modified). Also update the tool registry JSON directly if you create new tools.

2. Bridge signal (required). Write a structured JSON signal to the bridge-signal path specified in the prompt:

{
  "status": "bridged",
  "proposal_path": "artifacts/proposals/section-03-bridge-tool.md",
  "notes": "Created thin adapter between event-validator and schema-resolver",
  "targets": ["03", "07"],
  "broadcast": false,
  "note_markdown": "## Bridge Tool Added\nA new adapter connects event-validator output to schema-resolver input."
}
  • status: "bridged" (gap resolved), "no_action" (no gap found), or "need_decision" (cannot resolve without human guidance).
  • proposal_path: path to the proposal file you wrote.
  • notes: brief internal note about what was done.
  • targets (optional): section numbers that need this bridge info.
  • broadcast (optional): if true, all sections receive a consequence note.
  • note_markdown (optional): markdown summary for target sections.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bridge-tools is an agent published in the GitHub repository nestharus/agent-implementation-skill (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 570 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
