+*
+* @remarks
+* The universal tool-handler contract (AGENTS §14): validates the call args against
+* {@link import('./shapers.js').databaseToolShape}, dispatches to the matching operation, and
+* RETURNS a plain result on success. A database is resolved lazily and cached for the tool's
+* lifetime — `'create'` mints one from `tables` ({@link import('./helpers.js').expandTables}) and
+* a registered `driver` key ({@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.drivers}, default
+* `{ memory: () => createMemoryDriver() }`); any other operation addressing an uncached id falls
+* back to {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.store} (an unknown id throws a typed
+* `TOOL` {@link import('./errors.js').AgentToolError}). When a `store` is configured, `'create'`
+* persists the new {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseDefinition} and `'destroy'` deletes it.
+*
+* `'migrate'` re-declares a LIVE handle's tables via `DatabaseInterface.import` (the SAME driver
+* and storage, a NEW typed view) and calls its `migrate` against the OLD deployed schema —
+* derived from the handle's OWN `export()` (via {@link import('./helpers.js').tableSchema}), so it
+* works for any handle, config-tracked or caller-supplied via
+* {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.databases}. `'records'` clamps its `criteria` to
+* {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.limit} (default
+* {@link import('./constants.js').DATABASE_TOOL_LIMIT}) via
+* {@link import('./helpers.js').clampCriteria}, reporting `truncated` when storage held more rows
+* than the cap. Every operation's `criteria` is normalized via
+* {@link import('./helpers.js').criteriaOf} (defaults an omitted condition `connector` to `'and'`).
+* When {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.readonly} is `true`, every mutating
+* operation throws a typed `TOOL` `AgentToolError` before doing anything. When
+* {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.timeout} is set, every `@orkestrel/database` call
+* this tool makes is given a fresh `AbortSignal.timeout(timeout)`. A typed `@orkestrel/database`
+* failure (`DatabaseError`) re-surfaces as a typed `DATABASE` `AgentToolError` carrying the
+* original {@link import('@orkestrel/database').DatabaseErrorCode} in `context.code`
+* ({@link import('./helpers.js').databaseToolCode}); an `AgentToolError` thrown by this tool's own
+* guards passes through unwrapped.
+*
+* A lazily re-minted database over the DEFAULT in-memory driver yields an EMPTY database — only
+* the {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseDefinition} schema persists in `store`, never rows;
+* durable rows need a persistent driver factory registered in
+* {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.drivers}. `'destroy'` closes whatever handle is
+* cached for the id, including an embedder-supplied
+* {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.databases} handle — the embedder relinquishes
+* that handle's lifecycle to this tool for any id it wires in. This tool assumes the
+* single-writer, non-reentrant model `@orkestrel/database` itself assumes — concurrent calls
+* against one id are NOT serialized by this tool. `'get'` is uncapped by
+* {@link import('./types.js').DatabaseToolOptions.limit} (bounded only by the caller's `key` array
+* size), unlike `'records'` / `'find'` / `'links'`.

+/**
+* Build a standalone LLM-callable tool that infers a JSON Schema from example values — the
+* utility half of the "existing API/DB → MCP tool" bridge (the other half,
+* {@link createEndpointTool}, wraps one CONCRETE endpoint).
+*
+* @remarks
+* The universal tool-handler contract (AGENTS §14): validates the call args against
+* {@link import('./shapers.js').inferToolShape} (`samples` non-empty, `format` / `enum` optional
+* booleans, `candidates` an optional array), infers a schema via `@orkestrel/contract`'s
+* `samplesToSchema`, wraps a non-object root as `{ value: <schema> }` via `schemaToObject` (mirrors
+* the tool-parameters convention every other `create*Tool` factory advertises), and RETURNS the
+* resulting parameters record. An empty `samples` array fails `inferToolShape`'s `min: 1` bound —
+* `contract.parse` returns `undefined` and the handler throws a typed `TOOL`
+* {@link import('./errors.js').AgentToolError}.
+*
+* When `candidates` is ABSENT, the return is the bare parameters record — unchanged from before
+* this array existed. When `candidates` is PRESENT (any array, including empty), the handler
+* compiles a SEPARATE per-call contract from the RAW inferred schema (via `@orkestrel/contract`'s
+* `schemaToShape`, NOT the `schemaToObject`-wrapped parameters — a bare-value sample checks a
+* bare-value candidate) and returns `{ parameters, checks }`, one check per candidate at the same
+* index. Every entry has a UNIFORM shape — `{ index, valid, coercible }`, with `faults` added ONLY
+* when `valid` is `false`: `valid` is the STRICT guard verdict (`checker.is(candidate)`), the
+* OPPOSITE of {@link createEndpointTool}'s enforcement, which coerces (`7` becomes `'7'` for a
+* string slot) — here a conformance report answers "does this value conform AS-IS": `7` against a
+* string slot is `valid: false`, full stop. `coercible` answers a SEPARATE question — "would the
+* NORMALIZING parse accept this value", i.e. would {@link createEndpointTool}'s default enforcement
+* admit it (`checker.parse(candidate) !== undefined`) — computed for every candidate regardless of
+* `valid`; by the house parse/guard round-trip guarantee (AGENTS §14), a `valid: true` entry is
+* ALWAYS also `coercible: true`. `@orkestrel/contract` 0.0.7's `explain` mirrors the normalizing
+* `parse`'s leniency, not `is`'s strictness — so a strictly-invalid but coercible candidate (`7`
+* against a string slot) yields `{ valid: false, coercible: true, faults: [] }`: EMPTY faults, since
+* the mismatch the normalizing parse would silently fix is not one `explain` reports. `faults`
+* therefore only ever populates for a NON-coercible mismatch — a wrong type the parse can't coerce
+* (a boolean in a string slot), a missing required key, or an out-of-enum value — where
+* `coercible: false`. `checker.is` / `.parse` / `.explain` are all total over JSON-safe input — a
+* JSON-safe hostile candidate (a `__proto__`-carrying object, deeply nested data) reaches all three
+* and yields a bounded, non-throwing per-candidate verdict; a NON-JSON-safe candidate (e.g. a
+* throwing-getter `Proxy`) never reaches the checker at all — it fails the OUTER `args` parse
+* against {@link import('./shapers.js').inferToolShape} and rejects the WHOLE call with the same

+* string slot arrives as `'7'`), not the raw call value. A call whose `args` fails to parse into
+* a record — a required key missing, or a value not coercible to its slot's type — THROWS a
+* typed `TOOL` {@link import('./errors.js').AgentToolError} carrying the compiled contract's
+* structured `explain` faults, and `definition.invoke` is never called. `format` annotations are
+* NEVER asserted, and a key outside the closed inferred schema is SILENTLY DROPPED rather than
+* rejected (see {@link import('./types.js').EndpointToolOptions.validate}). With
+* `validate: false`, `execute` PASSES THROUGH the model-supplied `args` to `definition.invoke`
+* WITHOUT re-validation — the pre-0.0.7 behavior, preserved as an explicit opt-out. Either way,
+* `invoke`'s return flows back as the tool call's plain result; a throw PROPAGATES uncaught,
+* isolated by the `ToolManagerInterface` (`@orkestrel/agent`) into the canonical error envelope
+* (AGENTS §14) — never caught or re-wrapped here.
+*
+* @param definition - The endpoint's identity, non-empty samples, and local handler (see
+*   {@link import('./types.js').EndpointDefinition})
+* @param options - Construction-time inference tuning + the validate opt-out (see
+*   {@link import('./types.js').EndpointToolOptions})
+* @returns A `ToolInterface` named `definition.name`
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* import { createEndpointTool } from '@src/core'
+* import { createToolManager } from '@orkestrel/agent'
+*
+* const tool = createEndpointTool({
+* 	name: 'lookupUser',
+* 	description: 'Look up a user by id.',
+* 	samples: [{ id: '1', name: 'Ada' }, { id: '2', name: 'Bob' }],
+* 	invoke: (args) => ({ id: args.id, name: 'Ada' }),
+* })
+* const tools = createToolManager()
+* tools.add(tool)
+*
+* // conforming args (all required keys present) parse and reach `invoke`
+* const result = await tools.execute({
+* 	id: 'call-1',
+* 	name: 'lookupUser',
+* 	arguments: { id: '1', name: 'Ada' },
+* })
+* // result.value -> { id: '1', name: 'Ada' }
+*
+* // a nonconforming call (id is not coercible to the required string) is rejected before
+* // `invoke` runs
+* const rejected = await tools.execute({
+* 	id: 'call-2',
+* 	name: 'lookupUser',
+* 	arguments: { id: true, name: 'Ada' },
