+ * an `error` string — so callers could not tell a failure from a result. Handlers
+ * written with `defineTool` throw a ToolError; the factory turns it into one
+ * result envelope with `isError: true`.
+ *
+ * `code` is a stable, machine-readable classification. `message` is written for
+ * the model that will read it: say what failed and what to do next.
+ */

+/**
+ * Machine-readable failure classifications.
+ *
+ * These map to how a caller should react, not to where the failure happened:
+ * - INVALID_INPUT: arguments did not satisfy the tool's schema or its own checks.
+ *   The model should fix the arguments and retry.
+ * - NOT_FOUND: a referenced entity (task, plan, file, server) does not exist.
+ * - PERMISSION_DENIED: the operation was blocked by a security policy.
+ * - PRECONDITION_FAILED: the system is not in a state where this can run
+ *   (for example a required service is not initialized).
+ * - EXECUTION_FAILED: the tool ran but the underlying operation failed.
+ * - UPSTREAM_ERROR: a dependency the tool calls out to failed (external MCP
