tool

A development workflow for defining and registering an AI assistant tool in a TypeScript codebase. It combines supported capabilities, optional plugins, marketplace settings, content rewriting, and build rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or change a tool definition, add plugin support, implement reversible content rewrites, register and test the tool, and declare its framework build behavior.
Why use it?
It provides a defined path for adding a tool while keeping its type requirements, registration, rewriting behavior, plugins, and build configuration consistent.

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

tool 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tool

Builds a complete AI tool definition: a typed object implementing AiTool<C> where C is an intersection of Has* interfaces sourced from domain/tools/contracts.ts, registered via registerTool, and optionally equipped with PluginsCapability and marketplaceSettings.

Available actions

# Action Role Input
01 define-toolconfig Compose the AiTool object from Has* capabilities tool name + required capabilities list
02 content-rewrite Implement lossless rewriteContent / reverseRewriteContent tool file from 01
03 plugins-and-marketplace Configure PluginsCapability + marketplaceSettings tool file from 01
04 register-and-test Call registerTool and validate the full definition completed tool from 01-03
05 build-contract Declare the tool's framework build behavior via ToolBuildContract tool from 01 + modes (marketplace/flat)

Default flow

01 → 02 → 03 → 04 then 05 when the tool must be an aidd framework build target.

Skip 03 when the tool has no plugin capability. Skip 02 when the tool reuses base rewrite helpers without modification (document this explicitly). Skip 05 when the tool is not a framework-build target.

Transversal rules

  • Tool file lives in domain/tools/ai/<tool-name>.ts; one file per tool.
  • AiTool<C> where C is an intersection of Has* interfaces — never a plain object literal without the type annotation.
  • Capability presence guard uses "agents" in tool.capabilities (in-check), not instanceof.
  • rewriteContent and reverseRewriteContent must be exact inverses; compose baseRewriteContent/baseReverseRewriteContent first, then apply tool-specific transforms.
  • signalDir points to the directory scanned for name: aidd: signals; required and non-null for AI tools.
  • directory is the root output directory for the tool (e.g. .acme/).
  • Call registerTool(config) at module bottom — never from use-cases or application layer.
  • Named export only; no default export.
  • .js extensions on all relative imports.
  • No any types.
  • Framework-build behavior is declared by ONE artifact-symmetric ToolBuildContract (all six artifact kinds: skills/agents/mcp/hooks/rules/commands), consumed by the two per-mode orchestrators — NEVER a per-tool *OutputStrategy class, NEVER a per-tool/per-artifact branch in an orchestrator. Unsupported kinds are { supported: false } (warn-and-skip).
  • Build contracts reuse existing path/transform/merge helpers; generalize a helper rather than reimplement it. Flat MCP merges key-prefix servers by <plugin>-.

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.

tool is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-driven-dev/framework (445 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 917 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
