Add the tinyagents-tasks and tinystoragedrivers crates to the lockfile and wire them into the dependent packages. Drop the oxipng, libdeflater, rgb and libdeflate-sys entries along with the oxipng dependency, and bump sha2 to 0.11.0. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Introduce a new rules tool module under the core tools directory to provide rule-based handling for tool invocations. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Moved the rule operation helpers out of the parent rules module into their own ops file so the rule tool logic is easier to navigate and extend. No behaviour change. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Adds a `[tool_rules]` table to the global config and an optional `tool_rules` field on agent definitions, both backed by `tinytools::ToolRules`. The rules apply allow, deny, hide and approval patterns over tool names, families and tags to every agent's catalogue, `tool_search` results and individual calls, layering on top of the existing tool scope and disallowed-tools settings. Both default to empty, Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Introduce registry operations and RPC handlers so agent defaults can be queried and updated through the core registry layer. Types were extended to carry the new request and response shapes. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Hosted agent definitions now carry their rule layer into the harness gate, so tool_rules and disallowed_tools are enforced on the catalogue, tool_search and every call. The duplicated denylist matcher was replaced with the shared glob helper, and permissive rule sets are dropped when creating custom agents. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Subagent spawning now stages parallel graph nodes before execution, letting independent branches run concurrently instead of serially. The session host builder and tool prep paths were updated to thread the staged graph through, and tests cover the new orchestration flow. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Introduce a run context that is threaded through harness assembly and the turn runner so per-run state is available where the harness is built. This gives the turn runner a place to carry run-scoped data instead of relying on ambient state. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add tests for the tinyagents harness assembly path so the wiring between the agent loop and its tools is exercised directly. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The session host now builds a tool-rule set from the operator config and agent definition and attaches a turn-scoped rule policy to each turn's run context, so rules are evaluated in the correct channel, agent, and origin context. Permissive rule sets are skipped to avoid unnecessary work. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Sub-agent runs now compose their tool rule policy from the parent turn's rules plus the child definition's own layer, so a sub-agent is never less restricted than the run that spawned it. When the parent has no rules, the operator's configured tool rules are used as the base instead. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Sub-agents now inherit only the operator's tool-rule layers from the parent turn and add their own definition's layer, instead of inheriting the parent agent's layer too. An orchestrator commonly disallows exactly the tools it delegates to its workers, so carrying that layer down wrongly blocked the workers. Agent layers are now always named with an `agent:` prefix so they can be told apart from operator layers. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Test fixtures constructing AgentDefinition now set the new tool_rules field to None so they keep compiling after the struct gained the field. The rules ops tests also import the types needed for the new field. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Update registry and flow test fixtures to include the new tool_rules field, and switch the denylist test to the shared glob_list_matches helper so it exercises the same matching logic as production. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Reformatted the glob_list_matches assertions in the denylist test to multi-line calls, matching rustfmt output. No behaviour change. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add tests for the host definition registry covering registration and lookup behaviour so the registry's contract is exercised directly. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Adds coverage for agent registry operations and tinyagents host definition registry behaviour. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>

Refresh the lockfile to reflect the current dependency graph. No source changes accompany it. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
…prove Adds a section describing the `tinytools::ToolRules` pattern language and how `RunPolicy::tool_rules` enforces it across tool schemas, search and calls. It covers the three stacking rule layers, precedence and glob semantics, and how refused calls are reported. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Register the auth.tool_rules capability so the catalog documents how allow, deny, hide and approval rules govern which tools agents are shown and may call. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Adds a rules tool with its operations module and wires up a subagent host runner alongside harness assembly changes so agents can execute rule-based steps through the new host path. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Updated the expected schema description for max_bytes to match the reworded contract, which now explains that the limit bounds the returned text rather than the markup the extractor reads. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Moved the session tool-rule construction and per-turn rule policy evaluation out of runtime_session.rs into a dedicated tool_rules module. The extracted helpers preserve the existing behaviour, including the permissive short-circuit, while making the turn prelude logic easier to follow. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Relocated the begin_turn_resume helper from runtime_session.rs into runtime_session_turn.rs and re-exported it, so the turn-resume logic lives alongside the rest of the turn handling. No behaviour change. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>

The host now evaluates the session's tool rules when building the system prompt and drops any tool the rules keep off a listing, matching how the harness already withholds their schemas.

The sub-agent host now filters the tool specs and prompt catalogue it renders by the child's tool rule policy, so a tool the rules withhold stays callable through the harness gate but no longer appears in the child's prompt.

Apply the child rule policy to the AgentGraph::Custom path.
The Default branch passes options.run_context.for_subagent(...) to the graph. The Custom branch at Line 1025 still passes options.run_context.clone(). A custom-graph sub-agent therefore runs with the parent's full rule set. That rule set includes the parent agent layer, and the child's own disallowed_tools/tool_rules layer is missing. The child's prompt is already filtered with child_rules, so the prompt and the harness gate disagree. As a result, the child's own deny rules are not enforced on calls.

Do not describe hidden tools as uncallable.
When a rule uses hide, the tool leaves the rendered catalogue but remains callable. This sentence says that a removed tool cannot be called by guessed name. State that deny blocks calls, while hide only removes catalogue and search visibility.
Based on learnings: hiding a tool does not revoke call authority; the harness refuses denied tools.

Update the tool-visibility explanation in the agent harness documentation to
distinguish `deny` from `hide`: explain that `deny` blocks tool calls, while
`hide` removes the tool from catalogue and search visibility without revoking
call authority.

Evaluate prompt visibility with the turn origin
The policy passed to the harness also omits origin. Thus an origin-specific deny or allow rule is ignored during actual tool checks, even if the session's channel and agent match. This can make the rendered prompt and execution policy incorrectly permit tools on automated turns or incorrectly restrict them on user-authored turns.
Additional security observation
Evaluate tool policy with the current turn origin
[RULE] missing-turn-origin-context
The per-turn harness policy is constructed with no origin context. Origin-scoped allow or deny rules therefore cannot distinguish user-authored turns from agent, scheduled, or other origins, and may allow a tool on a turn where the rule is intended to deny it. Include the current turn origin in this context and keep it aligned with prompt visibility filtering.

Document the actual disallowed-tools matching behavior
This claims that disallowed_tools uses the same */? case-insensitive matcher everywhere and that glob_list_matches is the sole implementation. The current code still has callers that perform exact name checks (for example, the agent library and registry prompt paths), so a definition such as disallowed_tools = ["gmail_*"] can be enforced differently depending on the path. Either route those callers through the shared matcher or qualify this documentation instead of promising uniform glob behavior.

Refresh tool rules for every live session update
The rule set is stored on the session host as an Arc and is initialized once when the host is built. Subsequent configuration, registry, agent-definition, or RPC tool-rule changes therefore cannot reach an already-live session; turn_tool_rules and rule_withheld_tools continue enforcing the old rules. Rebuild or otherwise refresh this state when the underlying rule layers change, including the clear-to-permissive case.

Keep origin handling consistent with the session catalogue cache
rule_context accepts and stores origin, and the child policy preserves the parent's context, so rules can produce different visibility for different origins. This documentation instead states that origin is not used because the catalogue is cached per session. If the catalogue really is cached at session scope, an origin-dependent rule can be evaluated differently for the cached catalogue and a later turn, hiding or exposing the wrong tools. Either remove origin from the context used for catalogue decisions or include the turn origin in the cache key/invalidate the cached catalogue when it changes; the documentation and implementation must describe the same contract.

Refresh cached tool rules after configuration patches
This method creates a fresh immutable rule set from the current config and resolved definition, but the session stores the returned Arc and uses it for subsequent turns. If an operator configuration patch changes or clears tool_rules, existing sessions continue enforcing the old set because this composition is not rerun. The live-session path needs an invalidation or refresh when configuration changes.

Allow RPC patches to clear tool rules
The session now snapshots the composed rule set into tool_rules, so an RPC patch that clears the configured tool_rules cannot take effect in an already-created session. This violates the patch contract and can leave restrictive or permissive policy active after the caller clears it. Ensure a cleared patch replaces the live session rule set with the permissive state.

Clear stale tool rules when the policy is absent
When install_turn_rules is called on a reused RunPolicy after rules are removed or become permissive, this early return leaves the previous restrictive tool_rules in place. A configuration patch that clears the rules therefore cannot take effect for that policy, causing stale authorization state to persist. Reset policy.tool_rules to its default before returning when no restrictive policy is supplied.

Populate the rule context's origin or reject origin conditions
Both rule_withheld_tools and turn_tool_rules build their RuleContext with origin: None, and nothing else in the diff ever populates it. rule_context accepts an origin precisely so when conditions can match it, yet every caller passes None, so an operator rule like when = { origin = "ExternalChannel" } compiles, parses, and then matches nothing — the restriction silently fails open on every turn. The caching rationale for the catalogue is fair, but a condition the rule language advertises that can never be true is worse than not accepting it: either evaluate the withheld set per turn origin (the cache must then be per origin too), or reject/error on when conditions with unknown keys so the author finds out.

Refresh a live session's composed tool rules after patches
The session stores tool_rules: self.session_tool_rules() once when the runtime session state is built, snapshotting the operator config layer and the definition layer into an Arc. Registry patches (apply_patch now correctly updates entry.tool_rules) and runtime-config changes have no path shown in this diff that recomposes that snapshot for a session already running — the earlier findings about refreshing cached rules and applying registry patches to live sessions still stand. The tool_rules_tests.rs coverage exercises composition at build time only; nothing would fail if a patched entry's rules never reached an existing session.

Drive tool_rules end to end: no e2e test reaches a live session's rules
The rule system's external surfaces — a [tool_rules] table in config.toml, tool_rules on a registry entry patched over agent.registry RPC, and the resulting denial/hiding of a tool in a real chat session — are covered only by in-crate unit tests (ops_tests.rs, tool_rules_tests.rs). The lexical e2e candidates all hit unrelated subagent-flow specs that merely contain the word "orchestrator". A test would have to start the app (or the Rust E2E harness) with a config that denies or hides a tool, send a chat turn that exercises that tool, and assert the call is refused or the tool is absent from the rendered catalogue — through the running session, not session_rule_set. This carries forward the earlier "Drive tool_rules end to end: live-session denial" finding; it is not yet addressed by this revision's tests.

Refresh the session's composed tool rules after patches
session_tool_rules() is called once when the session state is built (runtime_session.rs line 1012) and the resulting Arc<ToolRuleSet> is stored on the state. Nothing in this change recomposes it when an operator edits [tool_rules] in the config or an agent.registry patch sets tool_rules on the entry, so a running session keeps enforcing the old rules indefinitely while new sessions pick up the change. That is exactly the stale-rules gap raised in earlier cycles and it still stands: the composition is a snapshot, not a live view. Recompose the set at the start of each turn (or on a config/registry-change notification) instead of caching it for the session's lifetime.

#7197 (a leftover storage-secrets branch) moved vendor/tinyagents from 33a86887 back to 37185fdc, which predates the tool-rules API (ToolRulePolicy, tinytools::ToolRules/Surface) that main's code uses since #7175, so main stopped compiling. Restores the pin and the Cargo.lock line. This reverts commit b2924d8, reversing changes made to d670efc. Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
