This enables\\n**self-referential tools**: a tool can read the calling agent off `_ctx.caller` and, e.g., look up\\nthe current task, send pending messages, or discover its parent task.\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Positional tool — _ctx arrives after the declared props\\nexport async function replyToParent(message: string, _ctx?: ToolCallContext) {\\n const parentTaskId = _ctx?.parentTaskId ?? _ctx?.taskId; // discover parent\\n const agent = _ctx?.caller; // the calling BaseAgent\\n // ...\\n}\\n\\n// Non-positional tool — _ctx is a key on the args object\\nexport async function startAgentTask(params: { prompt: string; _ctx?: ToolCallContext }) {\\n const parentTaskId = params._ctx?.taskId; // auto-derive parent from the spawner\\n // ...\\n}\\n```\\n\\n**Why `_ctx` instead of stashing the caller on the ToolsService context?**\\nStoring a per-invocation caller on the shared `ToolsService.context` is not safe under concurrent\\ntool usage (agents can share a ToolsService, and parallel tool calls could clobber each other).\\nPassing `_ctx` per-call keeps the caller scoped to a single invocation, so concurrent usage is\\nnever boxed out. Agents pass themselves in from `base.ts`:\\n\\n```typescript\\nthis.tools.callTool(toolCall, this.getEnabledToolNames(), {\\n caller: this,\\n taskId: this.currentTaskId,\\n});\\n```\\n\\nExisting tools that don't need `_ctx` simply ignore the extra argument (positional) or the extra\\nkey (non-positional), so adding it is backward-compatible.\\n\\n### Self-referential orchestration tools built on `_ctx`\\n\\nSeveral tools use `_ctx.caller` (the calling `BaseAgent`) and `_ctx.Tools` (the ToolsService) to\\ncoordinate subagents:\\n\\n- **`replyToParent(message)`** — sends a message back to the parent task that spawned this agent\\n (discovered via `_ctx.parentTaskId` → `_ctx.caller.parentTaskId` → the agent's own\\n `metadata.json`).\\n- **`waitForAgentCompleted({ taskId, timeoutMs?, pollIntervalMs? })`** — the native \\\"join\\\"\\n primitive: blocks until a spawned task reaches a terminal status, then returns a structured JSON\\n result `{ status, costUsd, finalAnswer, artifacts, elapsedMs, timedOut? }`. It reads the\\n consolidated status from `metadata.json`/`status.txt` and falls back to a process-liveness check\\n (via `metadata.pid`) so a crashed child doesn't hang the parent. Prefer this over shell polling\\n loops — the script sandbox caps `sleep` and burns a tool call per poll.\\n- **`observe({ toolName, toolArgs?, intervalMs?, maxUpdates?, maxDurationMs?, onlyOnChange? })`** —\\n periodically invokes another tool in the background and streams its results back to the calling\\n agent via `caller.addPendingMessage(...)`, without blocking. Returns an observation id.\\n **Important:** it captures `caller` and `Tools` from `_ctx` *synchronously* and closes over them\\n for the interval callback — never read them lazily inside the timer, since the shared per-call\\n context may change by then. Auto-expires after `maxUpdates` or `maxDurationMs` (and `unref`s its\\n timer) so a forgotten observer never leaks.\\n- **`stopObserving({ id? })`** — cancels one observer by id, or all of them when `id` is omitted.\\n\\n## Tool Definition Structure and the `positional` Parameter\\n\\nTool definitions in Knowhow follow a specific structure that determines how arguments are passed to the tool function. The most important aspect of this is the `positional` parameter in the tool's parameter definition.\\n\\n### Understanding `positional: true` vs `positional: false`\\n\\nThe `positional` parameter controls how the ToolsService passes arguments to your tool function:\\n\\n- **`positional: true`**: Arguments are passed as individual parameters in the order they appear in the `properties` object\\n- **`positional: false`** (or omitted): Arguments are passed as a single object with all parameters as properties\\n\\nThis is implemented in the ToolsService's `callTool` method:\\n\\n```typescript\\nconst isPositional = toolDefinition?.function?.parameters?.positional || false;\\nconst fnArgs = isPositional\\n ? Object.keys(properties).map((p) => functionArgs[p])\\n : functionArgs;\\n\\nconst rawResponse = isPositional\\n ? functionToCall.call(this, ...fnArgs)\\n : functionToCall.call(this, fnArgs);\\n```\\n\\n### Examples of Positional Tools\\n\\nMost tools in Knowhow use `positional: true` for a cleaner function signature:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool definition with positional: true\\n{\\n type: \\\"function\\\",\\n function: {\\n name: \\\"readFile\\\",\\n description: \\\"Read the contents of a file\\\",\\n parameters: {\\n type: \\\"object\\\",\\n positional: true,\\n properties: {\\n filePath: {\\n type: \\\"string\\\",\\n description: \\\"The path to the file to be read\\\",\\n },\\n },\\n required: [\\\"filePath\\\"],\\n },\\n },\\n}\\n\\n// Function implementation receives arguments as individual parameters\\nexport async function readFile(filePath: string) {\\n // filePath is passed directly as a string parameter\\n const content = await fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf-8');\\n return content;\\n}\\n```\\n\\nMultiple parameters with `positional: true`:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool definition\\n{\\n name: \\\"patchFile\\\",\\n parameters: {\\n positional: true,\\n properties: {\\n filePath: { type: \\\"string\\\" },\\n patch: { type: \\\"string\\\" },\\n },\\n required: [\\\"filePath\\\", \\\"patch\\\"],\\n },\\n}\\n\\n// Function receives arguments in order\\nexport async function patchFile(filePath: string, patch: string) {\\n // Arguments unpacked in the order defined in properties\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Examples of Non-Positional Tools\\n\\nWhen `positional: false` or when the property is omitted, the function receives a single object:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool definition with positional: false (or omitted)\\n{\\n type: \\\"function\\\",\\n function: {\\n name: \\\"listVariables\\\",\\n description: \\\"List all stored variables\\\",\\n parameters: {\\n type: \\\"object\\\",\\n positional: false, // or omit this line\\n properties: {},\\n required: [],\\n },\\n },\\n}\\n\\n// Function implementation receives a single args object\\nexport async function listVariables(args: {}) {\\n // args is an empty object in this case\\n return getVariableList();\\n}\\n```\\n\\nWith parameters:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool with multiple parameters and positional: false\\nexport async function enableTools(args: { patterns: string | string[] }) {\\n // All parameters come in a single args object\\n const patterns = Array.isArray(args.patterns) ? args.patterns : [args.patterns];\\n // ... implementation\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### When to Use Which Pattern\\n\\n**Use `positional: true` when:**\\n- You have a small number of parameters (1-4)\\n- Parameter order is logical and intuitive\\n- You want cleaner, more readable function signatures\\n- Most tools in the codebase follow this pattern\\n\\n**Use `positional: false` when:**\\n- You have many parameters or complex nested structures\\n- You want explicit parameter names in the function signature\\n- Parameters might be optional or have default values\\n- The tool takes no parameters at all\\n\\n### Important Implementation Notes\\n\\n1. **Parameter Order Matters**: With `positional: true`, arguments are extracted using `Object.keys(properties).map((p) => functionArgs[p])`. The order of keys in the `properties` object determines the argument order.\\n\\n2. **Type Safety**: TypeScript function signatures should match the positional setting:\\n ```typescript\\n // positional: true\\n function myTool(arg1: string, arg2: number) { }\\n \\n // positional: false\\n function myTool(args: { arg1: string; arg2: number }) { }\\n ```\\n\\n3. **Required vs Optional**: The `required` array in the tool definition validates which parameters must be present, but doesn't affect the positional behavior.\\n\\n4. **Array and Object Parameters**: Complex types work with both patterns:\\n ```typescript\\n // positional: true with array\\n function readBlocks(filePath: string, blockNumbers: number[]) { }\\n \\n // positional: false with nested object\\n function createCompletion(args: { provider: string; options: { model: string; messages: Message[] } }) { }\\n ```\\n\\n## ToolsService Context Pattern\\n\\nAll tools have access to a rich context through the ToolsService. The service is bound to `this` within tool functions, providing access to the entire Knowhow ecosystem.\\n\\n## Standard Access Pattern\\n\\nEvery tool uses this pattern to access the ToolsService:\\n\\n```typescript\\nconst toolService = (\\n this instanceof ToolsService ? this : services().Tools\\n) as ToolsService;\\n\\nconst context = toolService.getContext();\\n```\\n\\nThis pattern ensures:\\n1. **Bound Context**: Uses `this` when the tool is properly bound to ToolsService\\n2. **Fallback**: Falls back to global services if not bound\\n3. **Type Safety**: Casts to ToolsService for proper TypeScript support\\n\\n## Available Context Services\\n\\nThe `context` object provides access to:\\n\\n### Events Service\\n```typescript\\n// Blocking events (wait for completion)\\nawait context.Events.emitBlocking(\\\"file:pre-read\\\", { filePath });\\n\\n// Non-blocking events (fire and forget)\\nawait context.Events.emitNonBlocking(\\\"file:post-read\\\", { filePath, content });\\n```\\n\\n### AI Clients\\n```typescript\\n// Access configured AI clients\\nconst { openai, anthropic } = context.Clients;\\nconst response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...});\\n```\\n\\n### Plugin System\\n```typescript\\n// Call any registered plugin\\nconst result = await context.Plugins.call(\\\"embeddings\\\", searchQuery);\\nconst github = await context.Plugins.call(\\\"github\\\", prUrl);\\n```\\n\\n### Agent Service\\n```typescript\\n// Spawn or communicate with other agents\\nconst agent = context.Agents.getAgent(\\\"Developer\\\");\\nconst result = await agent.run(prompt);\\n```\\n\\n### Tools Service (Self-Reference)\\n```typescript\\n// Call other tools programmatically\\nconst otherTool = context.Tools.getFunction(\\\"readFile\\\");\\nconst fileContent = await otherTool.call(context.Tools, filePath);\\n```\\n\\n### Metadata\\n```typescript\\n// Access additional context data\\nconst userPreferences = context.metadata?.userPreferences;\\nconst sessionId = context.metadata?.sessionId;\\n```\\n\\n## ToolsService Methods\\n\\nThe ToolsService provides several key methods:\\n\\n### Tool Management\\n```typescript\\n// Get tool definitions\\nconst tools = toolService.getTools();\\nconst tool = toolService.getTool(\\\"readFile\\\");\\n\\n// Get function implementations\\nconst func = toolService.getFunction(\\\"readFile\\\");\\n```\\n\\n### Function Registration\\n```typescript\\n// Set individual function\\ntoolService.setFunction(\\\"myTool\\\", myToolFunction);\\n\\n// Set multiple functions\\ntoolService.setFunctions([\\\"tool1\\\", \\\"tool2\\\"], [func1, func2]);\\n\\n// Add function object\\ntoolService.addFunctions({ myTool: myToolFunction });\\n```\\n\\n### Tool Execution\\n```typescript\\n// Execute tool with proper context\\nconst result = await toolService.callTool(toolCall, enabledTools);\\n```\\n\\n## Context Binding\\n\\nTools are automatically bound to the ToolsService instance, which means:\\n\\n1. **`this` Reference**: Inside tools, `this` refers to the ToolsService\\n2. **Context Access**: Full access to all services through `getContext()`\\n3. **Cross-Tool Communication**: Ability to call other tools through the service\\n4. **Event System**: Participation in the event-driven architecture\\n\\n## Common Context Usage Patterns\\n\\n### File Operations with Events\\n```typescript\\n// Pre-operation validation\\nif (context.Events) {\\n await context.Events.emitBlocking(\\\"file:pre-write\\\", { filePath, content });\\n}\\n\\n// Perform operation\\nconst result = performFileOperation();\\n\\n// Post-operation notification\\nif (context.Events) {\\n await context.Events.emitNonBlocking(\\\"file:post-write\\\", { filePath, result });\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Plugin Integration\\n```typescript\\n// Check plugin availability and call\\nconst plugins = context.Plugins;\\nif (plugins.isEnabled(\\\"github\\\")) {\\n return await plugins.call(\\\"github\\\", url);\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Cross-Tool Communication\\n```typescript\\n// Call another tool with proper binding\\nconst readFile = context.Tools.getFunction(\\\"readFile\\\");\\nconst content = await readFile.call(context.Tools, filePath);\\n```\\n\\n### AI Client Usage\\n```typescript\\n// Access configured clients with proper error handling\\nconst { Clients } = context;\\nif (!Clients?.openai) {\\n throw new Error(\\\"OpenAI client not configured\\\");\\n}\\n\\nconst response = await Clients.openai.chat.completions.create({\\n model: \\\"gpt-4\\\",\\n messages: [{ role: \\\"user\\\", content: prompt }]\\n});\\n```\\n\\n## Error Handling with Context\\n\\nAlways check for context availability:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Safe event emission\\nif (context.Events) {\\n try {\\n await context.Events.emitBlocking(\\\"tool:action\\\", data);\\n } catch (error) {\\n console.warn(\\\"Event emission failed:\\\", error.message);\\n }\\n}\\n\\n// Safe client access\\nif (!context.Clients?.openai) {\\n throw new Error(\\\"Required AI client not available\\\");\\n}\\n```\\n\\n## Advanced Context Features\\n\\n### Tool Overrides\\n```typescript\\n// Register tool overrides with context\\ntoolService.registerOverride(\\\"readFile\\\", customReadFile, 10);\\n```\\n\\n### Tool Wrappers\\n```typescript\\n// Wrap tools with additional functionality\\ntoolService.registerWrapper(/.*File$/, loggingWrapper, 5);\\n```\\n\\n### Dynamic Tool Registration\\n```typescript\\n// Add tools at runtime\\ntoolService.defineTools([newToolDefinition], { newTool: newToolFunction });\\n```\\n\\n## Best Practices\\n\\n1. **Always Check Context**: Verify services exist before using them\\n2. **Proper Error Handling**: Handle context access failures gracefully \\n3. **Event Participation**: Use events for logging and validation\\n4. **Type Safety**: Use TypeScript types for context objects\\n5. **Resource Cleanup**: Clean up any resources in error handlers\\n6. **Cross-Tool Communication**: Prefer context.Tools over direct imports when possible\"\n }\n]\n These terms are directly related to what the user is asking about so be sure to contextualize your response to this information.\n \n\nVIM PLUGIN: The following files are open in

This enables\\n**self-referential tools**: a tool can read the calling agent off `_ctx.caller` and, e.g., look up\\nthe current task, send pending messages, or discover its parent task.\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Positional tool — _ctx arrives after the declared props\\nexport async function replyToParent(message: string, _ctx?: ToolCallContext) {\\n const parentTaskId = _ctx?.parentTaskId ?? _ctx?.taskId; // discover parent\\n const agent = _ctx?.caller; // the calling BaseAgent\\n // ...\\n}\\n\\n// Non-positional tool — _ctx is a key on the args object\\nexport async function startAgentTask(params: { prompt: string; _ctx?: ToolCallContext }) {\\n const parentTaskId = params._ctx?.taskId; // auto-derive parent from the spawner\\n // ...\\n}\\n```\\n\\n**Why `_ctx` instead of stashing the caller on the ToolsService context?**\\nStoring a per-invocation caller on the shared `ToolsService.context` is not safe under concurrent\\ntool usage (agents can share a ToolsService, and parallel tool calls could clobber each other).\\nPassing `_ctx` per-call keeps the caller scoped to a single invocation, so concurrent usage is\\nnever boxed out. Agents pass themselves in from `base.ts`:\\n\\n```typescript\\nthis.tools.callTool(toolCall, this.getEnabledToolNames(), {\\n caller: this,\\n taskId: this.currentTaskId,\\n});\\n```\\n\\nExisting tools that don't need `_ctx` simply ignore the extra argument (positional) or the extra\\nkey (non-positional), so adding it is backward-compatible.\\n\\n### Self-referential orchestration tools built on `_ctx`\\n\\nSeveral tools use `_ctx.caller` (the calling `BaseAgent`) and `_ctx.Tools` (the ToolsService) to\\ncoordinate subagents:\\n\\n- **`replyToParent(message)`** — sends a message back to the parent task that spawned this agent\\n (discovered via `_ctx.parentTaskId` → `_ctx.caller.parentTaskId` → the agent's own\\n `metadata.json`).\\n- **`waitForAgentCompleted({ taskId, timeoutMs?, pollIntervalMs? })`** — the native \\\"join\\\"\\n primitive: blocks until a spawned task reaches a terminal status, then returns a structured JSON\\n result `{ status, costUsd, finalAnswer, artifacts, elapsedMs, timedOut? }`. It reads the\\n consolidated status from `metadata.json`/`status.txt` and falls back to a process-liveness check\\n (via `metadata.pid`) so a crashed child doesn't hang the parent. Prefer this over shell polling\\n loops — the script sandbox caps `sleep` and burns a tool call per poll.\\n- **`observe({ toolName, toolArgs?, intervalMs?, maxUpdates?, maxDurationMs?, onlyOnChange? })`** —\\n periodically invokes another tool in the background and streams its results back to the calling\\n agent via `caller.addPendingMessage(...)`, without blocking. Returns an observation id.\\n **Important:** it captures `caller` and `Tools` from `_ctx` *synchronously* and closes over them\\n for the interval callback — never read them lazily inside the timer, since the shared per-call\\n context may change by then. Auto-expires after `maxUpdates` or `maxDurationMs` (and `unref`s its\\n timer) so a forgotten observer never leaks.\\n- **`stopObserving({ id? })`** — cancels one observer by id, or all of them when `id` is omitted.\\n\\n## Tool Definition Structure and the `positional` Parameter\\n\\nTool definitions in Knowhow follow a specific structure that determines how arguments are passed to the tool function. The most important aspect of this is the `positional` parameter in the tool's parameter definition.\\n\\n### Understanding `positional: true` vs `positional: false`\\n\\nThe `positional` parameter controls how the ToolsService passes arguments to your tool function:\\n\\n- **`positional: true`**: Arguments are passed as individual parameters in the order they appear in the `properties` object\\n- **`positional: false`** (or omitted): Arguments are passed as a single object with all parameters as properties\\n\\nThis is implemented in the ToolsService's `callTool` method:\\n\\n```typescript\\nconst isPositional = toolDefinition?.function?.parameters?.positional || false;\\nconst fnArgs = isPositional\\n ? Object.keys(properties).map((p) => functionArgs[p])\\n : functionArgs;\\n\\nconst rawResponse = isPositional\\n ? functionToCall.call(this, ...fnArgs)\\n : functionToCall.call(this, fnArgs);\\n```\\n\\n### Examples of Positional Tools\\n\\nMost tools in Knowhow use `positional: true` for a cleaner function signature:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool definition with positional: true\\n{\\n type: \\\"function\\\",\\n function: {\\n name: \\\"readFile\\\",\\n description: \\\"Read the contents of a file\\\",\\n parameters: {\\n type: \\\"object\\\",\\n positional: true,\\n properties: {\\n filePath: {\\n type: \\\"string\\\",\\n description: \\\"The path to the file to be read\\\",\\n },\\n },\\n required: [\\\"filePath\\\"],\\n },\\n },\\n}\\n\\n// Function implementation receives arguments as individual parameters\\nexport async function readFile(filePath: string) {\\n // filePath is passed directly as a string parameter\\n const content = await fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf-8');\\n return content;\\n}\\n```\\n\\nMultiple parameters with `positional: true`:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool definition\\n{\\n name: \\\"patchFile\\\",\\n parameters: {\\n positional: true,\\n properties: {\\n filePath: { type: \\\"string\\\" },\\n patch: { type: \\\"string\\\" },\\n },\\n required: [\\\"filePath\\\", \\\"patch\\\"],\\n },\\n}\\n\\n// Function receives arguments in order\\nexport async function patchFile(filePath: string, patch: string) {\\n // Arguments unpacked in the order defined in properties\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Examples of Non-Positional Tools\\n\\nWhen `positional: false` or when the property is omitted, the function receives a single object:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool definition with positional: false (or omitted)\\n{\\n type: \\\"function\\\",\\n function: {\\n name: \\\"listVariables\\\",\\n description: \\\"List all stored variables\\\",\\n parameters: {\\n type: \\\"object\\\",\\n positional: false, // or omit this line\\n properties: {},\\n required: [],\\n },\\n },\\n}\\n\\n// Function implementation receives a single args object\\nexport async function listVariables(args: {}) {\\n // args is an empty object in this case\\n return getVariableList();\\n}\\n```\\n\\nWith parameters:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Tool with multiple parameters and positional: false\\nexport async function enableTools(args: { patterns: string | string[] }) {\\n // All parameters come in a single args object\\n const patterns = Array.isArray(args.patterns) ? args.patterns : [args.patterns];\\n // ... implementation\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### When to Use Which Pattern\\n\\n**Use `positional: true` when:**\\n- You have a small number of parameters (1-4)\\n- Parameter order is logical and intuitive\\n- You want cleaner, more readable function signatures\\n- Most tools in the codebase follow this pattern\\n\\n**Use `positional: false` when:**\\n- You have many parameters or complex nested structures\\n- You want explicit parameter names in the function signature\\n- Parameters might be optional or have default values\\n- The tool takes no parameters at all\\n\\n### Important Implementation Notes\\n\\n1. **Parameter Order Matters**: With `positional: true`, arguments are extracted using `Object.keys(properties).map((p) => functionArgs[p])`. The order of keys in the `properties` object determines the argument order.\\n\\n2. **Type Safety**: TypeScript function signatures should match the positional setting:\\n ```typescript\\n // positional: true\\n function myTool(arg1: string, arg2: number) { }\\n \\n // positional: false\\n function myTool(args: { arg1: string; arg2: number }) { }\\n ```\\n\\n3. **Required vs Optional**: The `required` array in the tool definition validates which parameters must be present, but doesn't affect the positional behavior.\\n\\n4. **Array and Object Parameters**: Complex types work with both patterns:\\n ```typescript\\n // positional: true with array\\n function readBlocks(filePath: string, blockNumbers: number[]) { }\\n \\n // positional: false with nested object\\n function createCompletion(args: { provider: string; options: { model: string; messages: Message[] } }) { }\\n ```\\n\\n## ToolsService Context Pattern\\n\\nAll tools have access to a rich context through the ToolsService. The service is bound to `this` within tool functions, providing access to the entire Knowhow ecosystem.\\n\\n## Standard Access Pattern\\n\\nEvery tool uses this pattern to access the ToolsService:\\n\\n```typescript\\nconst toolService = (\\n this instanceof ToolsService ? this : services().Tools\\n) as ToolsService;\\n\\nconst context = toolService.getContext();\\n```\\n\\nThis pattern ensures:\\n1. **Bound Context**: Uses `this` when the tool is properly bound to ToolsService\\n2. **Fallback**: Falls back to global services if not bound\\n3. **Type Safety**: Casts to ToolsService for proper TypeScript support\\n\\n## Available Context Services\\n\\nThe `context` object provides access to:\\n\\n### Events Service\\n```typescript\\n// Blocking events (wait for completion)\\nawait context.Events.emitBlocking(\\\"file:pre-read\\\", { filePath });\\n\\n// Non-blocking events (fire and forget)\\nawait context.Events.emitNonBlocking(\\\"file:post-read\\\", { filePath, content });\\n```\\n\\n### AI Clients\\n```typescript\\n// Access configured AI clients\\nconst { openai, anthropic } = context.Clients;\\nconst response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...});\\n```\\n\\n### Plugin System\\n```typescript\\n// Call any registered plugin\\nconst result = await context.Plugins.call(\\\"embeddings\\\", searchQuery);\\nconst github = await context.Plugins.call(\\\"github\\\", prUrl);\\n```\\n\\n### Agent Service\\n```typescript\\n// Spawn or communicate with other agents\\nconst agent = context.Agents.getAgent(\\\"Developer\\\");\\nconst result = await agent.run(prompt);\\n```\\n\\n### Tools Service (Self-Reference)\\n```typescript\\n// Call other tools programmatically\\nconst otherTool = context.Tools.getFunction(\\\"readFile\\\");\\nconst fileContent = await otherTool.call(context.Tools, filePath);\\n```\\n\\n### Metadata\\n```typescript\\n// Access additional context data\\nconst userPreferences = context.metadata?.userPreferences;\\nconst sessionId = context.metadata?.sessionId;\\n```\\n\\n## ToolsService Methods\\n\\nThe ToolsService provides several key methods:\\n\\n### Tool Management\\n```typescript\\n// Get tool definitions\\nconst tools = toolService.getTools();\\nconst tool = toolService.getTool(\\\"readFile\\\");\\n\\n// Get function implementations\\nconst func = toolService.getFunction(\\\"readFile\\\");\\n```\\n\\n### Function Registration\\n```typescript\\n// Set individual function\\ntoolService.setFunction(\\\"myTool\\\", myToolFunction);\\n\\n// Set multiple functions\\ntoolService.setFunctions([\\\"tool1\\\", \\\"tool2\\\"], [func1, func2]);\\n\\n// Add function object\\ntoolService.addFunctions({ myTool: myToolFunction });\\n```\\n\\n### Tool Execution\\n```typescript\\n// Execute tool with proper context\\nconst result = await toolService.callTool(toolCall, enabledTools);\\n```\\n\\n## Context Binding\\n\\nTools are automatically bound to the ToolsService instance, which means:\\n\\n1. **`this` Reference**: Inside tools, `this` refers to the ToolsService\\n2. **Context Access**: Full access to all services through `getContext()`\\n3. **Cross-Tool Communication**: Ability to call other tools through the service\\n4. **Event System**: Participation in the event-driven architecture\\n\\n## Common Context Usage Patterns\\n\\n### File Operations with Events\\n```typescript\\n// Pre-operation validation\\nif (context.Events) {\\n await context.Events.emitBlocking(\\\"file:pre-write\\\", { filePath, content });\\n}\\n\\n// Perform operation\\nconst result = performFileOperation();\\n\\n// Post-operation notification\\nif (context.Events) {\\n await context.Events.emitNonBlocking(\\\"file:post-write\\\", { filePath, result });\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Plugin Integration\\n```typescript\\n// Check plugin availability and call\\nconst plugins = context.Plugins;\\nif (plugins.isEnabled(\\\"github\\\")) {\\n return await plugins.call(\\\"github\\\", url);\\n}\\n```\\n\\n### Cross-Tool Communication\\n```typescript\\n// Call another tool with proper binding\\nconst readFile = context.Tools.getFunction(\\\"readFile\\\");\\nconst content = await readFile.call(context.Tools, filePath);\\n```\\n\\n### AI Client Usage\\n```typescript\\n// Access configured clients with proper error handling\\nconst { Clients } = context;\\nif (!Clients?.openai) {\\n throw new Error(\\\"OpenAI client not configured\\\");\\n}\\n\\nconst response = await Clients.openai.chat.completions.create({\\n model: \\\"gpt-4\\\",\\n messages: [{ role: \\\"user\\\", content: prompt }]\\n});\\n```\\n\\n## Error Handling with Context\\n\\nAlways check for context availability:\\n\\n```typescript\\n// Safe event emission\\nif (context.Events) {\\n try {\\n await context.Events.emitBlocking(\\\"tool:action\\\", data);\\n } catch (error) {\\n console.warn(\\\"Event emission failed:\\\", error.message);\\n }\\n}\\n\\n// Safe client access\\nif (!context.Clients?.openai) {\\n throw new Error(\\\"Required AI client not available\\\");\\n}\\n```\\n\\n## Advanced Context Features\\n\\n### Tool Overrides\\n```typescript\\n// Register tool overrides with context\\ntoolService.registerOverride(\\\"readFile\\\", customReadFile, 10);\\n```\\n\\n### Tool Wrappers\\n```typescript\\n// Wrap tools with additional functionality\\ntoolService.registerWrapper(/.*File$/, loggingWrapper, 5);\\n```\\n\\n### Dynamic Tool Registration\\n```typescript\\n// Add tools at runtime\\ntoolService.defineTools([newToolDefinition], { newTool: newToolFunction });\\n```\\n\\n## Best Practices\\n\\n1. **Always Check Context**: Verify services exist before using them\\n2. **Proper Error Handling**: Handle context access failures gracefully \\n3. **Event Participation**: Use events for logging and validation\\n4. **Type Safety**: Use TypeScript types for context objects\\n5. **Resource Cleanup**: Clean up any resources in error handlers\\n6. **Cross-Tool Communication**: Prefer context.Tools over direct imports when possible\"\n }\n]\n These terms are directly related to what the user is asking about so be sure to contextualize your response to this information.\n \n\nVIM PLUGIN: The following files are open in
