+# Tools
+A tool is a typed action the model can call: hit an API, run a query,
+write a file. Each file in `agent/tools/` defines one tool, and the
+filename becomes the tool name the model sees. Tools come in two
+execution flavors: server tools run in-process on the serve host, and
+agent tools run as scripts where the agent runs. Every server tool can
+also be called directly, with no model turn.
+## Define a server tool
+By default, `execute` runs in-process on the serving host with full
+access to `process.env` and your `agent/lib/` code. Local turns call
+server tools as SDK custom tools. Cloud turns reach them over
+authenticated HTTP MCP back to the serve host when `--public-url` or
+`--cloud-tools-url` is set; without either, the server warns at startup
+and cloud turns omit them (see
+[Cloud runtime](/docs/guides/cloud-runtime.md#what-changes-on-cloud)).
+```ts
+// agent/tools/inspect_pr.ts
+import { defineTool } from "@cursor/july/tools";
+import { z } from "zod";
+export default defineTool({
+  description: "Inspect a pull request before approval.",
+  // execution: "server" is the default
+  inputSchema: z.object({ prUrl: z.string().url() }),
+  async execute({ prUrl }, ctx) {
+    return { prUrl, checks: ["unit", "lint"], ready: true };
+  },
+});
+```
+A tool definition needs a filename slug (the model-facing name), a
+`description` written for the model, an optional `inputSchema`, and the
+code that runs it. With a Zod `inputSchema`, the input is validated before
+`execute` runs and the input type is inferred. A plain JSON Schema
+object is forwarded as-is and the input arrives as raw JSON.
+For multi-line descriptions, reminder prompts, and error messages, use
+[`prompt`](/docs/reference/prompt.md) so the string can sit indented with the surrounding
+TypeScript:
+```ts
+import { prompt } from "@cursor/july";
+import { defineTool } from "@cursor/july/tools";
+import { z } from "zod";
+export default defineTool({
+  description: prompt`
+    Inspect a pull request before approval.
+    Prefer this over guessing from the title alone.
+  `,
+  inputSchema: z.object({ prUrl: z.string().url() }),
+  async execute({ prUrl }) {
+    return { prUrl };
+  },
+});
+```
+### The `ctx` parameter
+`execute` receives a `ctx` with the runtime accessors:
+| Member | What it is |
+| --- | --- |
+| `ctx.toolCallId` | The call id, matching the `actions.requested` / `action.result` stream events |
+| `ctx.session` | Read-only session info: id, channel, mode, auth |
+| `ctx.workspaceDir` | The session's workspace directory |
+| `ctx.stateRoot` | The agent's durable state root, shared across every session |
+| `ctx.host` | Shared host services (see below) |
+| `ctx.send(channelId, message, options?)` | Start or resume a session on any channel: the cross-channel handoff primitive, e.g. a chat tool opening a `drive` cloud session for a PR. `auth` defaults to this call's session principal |
+| `ctx.getSession(channelId, sessionId)` | Look up a session on a channel, e.g. refresh `sdkAgentId` after a turn |
+| `ctx.artifacts` | Session-bound [artifacts](/docs/reference/artifacts.md) facade: `tag` auto-fills the session |
+`ctx.host` carries the shared host services: `host.mcp` (authored MCP
+connections: `names()`, `listTools(name)`, `callTool(name, tool, args)`),
+`host.github` and `host.slack` (shared platform clients), `host.kv` and
+`host.files` (durable [storage](/docs/storage.md)), `host.otel` (custom
+metrics and session tags; see [OpenTelemetry](/docs/guides/opentelemetry.md)),
+`host.reminders` (per-session wakes, when attached), `host.evals`
+(playground eval batches, when attached), and `host.slackNudges`
+(Slack ask-dedupe helpers).
+### Return values
+`execute` may return a string (passed to the model verbatim), a
+JSON-shaped value (serialized), or the envelope
+`{ content: [...], isError? }` for rich results. Returns must be
+JSON-shaped: use object literals or `type` aliases. An `interface` type
+fails assignability (no index signature), and tsx won't catch it. Your
+typecheck will.
+Throwing inside `execute` reports an error result to the model
+(`isError: true`). The turn and the server keep running.
+### Declare structured output
+Set `outputSchema` when MCP clients need a structured result contract. Use a
+Zod schema or plain JSON Schema:
+```ts
+const Weather = z.object({
+  city: z.string(),
+  temperatureF: z.number(),
+});
+export default defineTool({
+  description: "Read the current weather.",
+  inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string() }),
+  outputSchema: Weather,
+  async execute({ city }) {
+    return { city, temperatureF: 72 };
+  },
+});
+```
+The Agent SDK advertises the schema. It does not validate tool results against
+it. Plain object returns fill MCP `structuredContent` automatically. An
+envelope return must set `structuredContent` next to `content` and `isError`.
+Use the exported `ToolInput<TSchema>` type when another function needs the
+input type inferred from a tool schema.
+### Control dry-run effects
+Set `effect` to `"read"`, `"write"`, or a predicate over validated input.
+A dry-run session executes reads and answers writes without running their
+tool bodies. An authored tool without `effect` is treated as a write.
+```ts
+export default defineTool({
+  description: "Publish a release.",
+  inputSchema: z.object({ version: z.string() }),
+  effect: "write",
+  dryRunResult: ({ version }) => ({ published: false, version }),
+  async execute({ version }) {
+    return publishRelease(version);
+  },
+});
+```
+`dryRunResult` keeps the result shape stable. Without it, a stubbed write
+returns `"Operation acknowledged."`. Traces mark the result as stubbed.
+## Define an agent tool
+Set `execution: "agent"` and the tool materializes as a shell script
+that runs where the Cursor agent runs: the local harness workspace or
+the cloud VM. The script receives JSON arguments on stdin and prints its
+result on stdout. Use this flavor when the tool must run next to the
+checkout the agent works in; on cloud, server tools stay available too
+through the host's HTTP MCP endpoint.
+```ts
+import { defineTool } from "@cursor/july/tools";
+import { z } from "zod";
+export default defineTool({
+  description: "Echo a message from the agent workspace.",
+  execution: "agent",
+  inputSchema: z.object({ message: z.string() }),
+  script: `#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -euo pipefail
+message=$(python3 -c 'import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["message"])')
+printf '%s\\n' "$message"
+`,
+});
+```
+On the local runtime, scripts land under `.agent-serve/tools/` in the
+session workspace with a catalog in `AGENTS.md`. On cloud, the catalog
+and script bodies travel on the first prompt.
+## Tools from an MCP connection, advertised by name
+Authored `agent/tools/` files are one catalog for every session. When
+the tools should come from an MCP server — including per-tenant toolsets
+resolved at runtime — declare the connection with
+`advertiseTools: true` (plus per-session `auth` when the credential
+depends on who the session is for) and the engine synthesizes named 1:1
+passthrough server tools from the connection's live `listTools` on every
+local turn. See
+[MCP Connections](/docs/reference/connections.md#advertise-tools).
+Advertised tools ride the same execution path as authored server tools,
+but cannot be invoked via
+[direct tool calls](#call-a-tool-without-a-model-turn).
+## Gate a tool on human approval
+A server tool can require a person to sign off before it runs. Set
+`needsApproval` to `true`, or to a predicate over the validated input:
+```ts
+export default defineTool({
+  description: "Promote a verified build to an environment.",
+  needsApproval: true, // or: (input) => input.environment === "production"
+  inputSchema: z.object({
+    service: z.string(),
+    buildId: z.string(),
+    environment: z.string(),
+  }),
+  async execute({ service, buildId, environment }) {
+    return { promoted: true, service, buildId, environment };
+  },
+});
+```
+The call parks, the turn stays running, and the stream emits
+`action.approval_requested` until someone resolves it from the
+playground, `POST /v1/session/:id/approvals/:callId`, or Slack
+Approve/Deny cards. Approvals exist for server tools on the local
+runtime only, and parked calls don't survive a host restart. The full
+lifecycle is in [Human-in-the-loop](/docs/guides/human-in-the-loop.md).
+## Call a tool without a model turn
+Server tools can be called deterministically. You pick the tool and the
+input. Validation and execution behave exactly as they would for a
+model-initiated call, and no Cursor API key is needed.
+Over HTTP, with the same auth chain as the session API:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/<slug>/v1/tools/inspect_pr \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"input":{"prUrl":"https://github.com/acme/checkout/pull/42"}}'
+# {"ok":true,"toolName":"inspect_pr","callId":"tool_inspect_pr_…",
+#  "isError":false,"result":{…},"durationMs":12}
+```
+From the CLI, which starts an ephemeral server unless `--url` targets
+a running one:
+```bash
+agent-sdk call inspect_pr --dir . \
+  --input '{"prUrl":"https://github.com/acme/checkout/pull/42"}'
+agent-sdk call inspect_pr \
+  --url http://127.0.0.1:3000/<slug> \
+  --input '{"prUrl":"https://github.com/acme/checkout/pull/42"}'
+```
+Programmatically, `callTool(toolName, input, options?)` is available on
+the serve handle, on channel route handlers and `onStart` args, and on
+schedule `run` handlers, so a channel can mix deterministic calls with
+model turns, fetching PR metadata deterministically and then `send()`ing
+the review prompt:
+```ts
+const outcome = await handle.callTool("inspect_pr", {
+  prUrl: "https://github.com/acme/checkout/pull/42",
+});
+// { toolName, callId, isError, result, durationMs }
+```
+By default the call runs against an ephemeral scratch workspace under
+`<stateRoot>/tool-calls/<callId>`, materialized like a session workspace
+and removed when the call returns. Pass a `sessionId` (a body field over
+HTTP, `--session` on the CLI, `options.sessionId` programmatically) to
+run inside an existing session instead: the tool sees that session's
+workspace, and the call is recorded on the session's event stream under
+a per-call `turnId`, visible in the playground and trajectories like
+any model-initiated call. Session-bound calls serialize with model
+turns and return `409 session_busy` while a turn runs.
+The error semantics match the model path. Unknown tools are rejected
+with the available names, agent-execution tools cannot be called on the
+host (`400`), schema-invalid input is a `400` before the tool body runs
+(Zod validates; plain JSON Schema passes through unvalidated), and a
+tool body that throws reports `isError: true` in the same envelope the
+model would see.
+## Design habits
+Keep one decision per tool. Small tools with crisp descriptions beat
+multi-purpose tools with mode flags. The model chooses better and evals
+gate cleaner.
+Put deterministic policy in tool code, not model judgment. A PR-approval
+tool should re-read the live PR inside the tool before acting, so a
+spoofed payload can't steer it.
+Test tools with `call` before blaming prompts. If the tool's output is
+wrong, no instruction change fixes it.
+Gate side effects with `needsApproval`. Declare each tool's `effect` so
+dry-run sessions can execute reads and stub writes.
