+## A different answer for tools — `withToolView`
+
+An admin page wants the full record; a model wants a card. Every byte of a
+tool result enters the model's context and stays in its history, and personal
+fields a task does not need are better never shown to it. Two endpoints on one
+path (one `expose: ['HTTP']`, one for the tools) duplicate the description, the

+
+export const users = defineContract({ prefix: 'users' }, {

+
+- **One handler, one parser.** `defaults` joins the tool call's arguments
+  *before* the endpoint's own `input` parses them, so the handler receives an
+  ordinary `input` — `include: []` from a tool, the HTTP default from HTTP — and
+  loads only what was asked for. An explicit argument wins over the default.
+- **The answer is derived, then checked.** The handler's result is validated
+  against the full `output` first, as always; then `project` (a pure,
+  synchronous function of the full result and the parsed input) or a slice by
+  the view's `output`, then validation against the view's schema. A projection
+  that throws, returns a Promise or breaks its schema is `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`
+  — a server fault, like any output mismatch.
+- **Where it applies.** The MCP, agent and CLI mounts answer with the view;
+  `outputSchema`, `structuredContent`, the advertised input `default`, the
+  catalog stamp and the surface snapshot follow it. HTTP, OpenAPI, the typed
+  client and the in-process [`createToolInvoker`](#in-process-calls--createtoolinvoker)
+  keep the full answer — code, not a model, is calling there.
+- **Three forms, one helper.** With `output` and `project` the answer has its
+  own schema. With `project` alone it reshapes values inside the full schema.
+  With `output` alone it is a slice, and the full result must fit that schema —
+  `withToolView` refuses the endpoint at compile time when it does not.
+- **Exposure.** A view needs a tool transport. With `createContractFactory({
+  toolExposure: 'explicit' })` an endpoint without `expose` is HTTP-only, so an
+  endpoint with a view names its tool transports in `expose`.
+- **What it refuses.** `defineContract` rejects a view on an endpoint with no
+  tool transport or no full `output`, on a raw, `rawBody`, multipart,
+  `responseMeta` or streaming endpoint, a view that declares neither `output`
+  nor `project`, and a default for a key the input does not have, for a path
+  param, or with a value the input would reject.
+
+A projection adds nothing the full result does not carry: a field the tool
+answer needs belongs in the full answer, loaded by the handler. Keys a
+projection returns beyond its schema are reported by `onOutputStrip`; a slice
+removes keys on purpose and is not reported. → [ADR 0196](../decisions/0196-a-tool-answer-is-a-declared-view.md)

 # Upgrading stitchkit
 
+## Released migration: 0.94.0
+
+One breaking minor that consolidates: tool options move into one group, and
+names that were exported from two entrypoints keep only their owner. Every step
+is an edit a type checker or `defineContract` points at; the few behaviour
+changes that need no edit are under Changed and Fixed in the changelog.
+
+1. **Move endpoint tool options into `tool`.** **Who must act:** every project
+   with an endpoint that sets `toolName`, `ui`, `annotations` or `mcp`. Run the
+   codemod from a checkout of this repository, then typecheck:
+
+   ```bash
+   bun packages/core/scripts/codemod-tool-group.ts --check path/to/your/src   # list
+   bun packages/core/scripts/codemod-tool-group.ts path/to/your/src           # rewrite
+   ```
+
+   ```ts
+   // before
+   { method: 'GET', path: '/', desc: 'List', toolName: 'user_list', mcp: { inputRequired } }
+   // after
+   { method: 'GET', path: '/', desc: 'List', tool: { name: 'user_list', mcp: { inputRequired } } }
+   ```
+
+   The codemod leaves two kinds of endpoint for a person and prints where: one
+   built with a spread (`{ ...base, toolName }`), and one exposed on HTTP only,
+   whose tool options never reached a tool — delete them there. Anything left
+   over fails at startup, by name — a key moved into the group under its old
+   name (`tool: { toolName }`) included:
+
+   ```text
+   Contract "users": endpoint "list" sets `toolName` — tool options live in `tool` since 0.94.0: use tool.name
+   ```
+
+   `expose` does not move. `MethodDef` — what hooks and runtime tools see — keeps
+   `toolName`, `ui`, `annotations` and `mcp` at the top level, so hook code does
+   not change. A tool view is declared only with `withToolView`, which now puts
+   it in `tool.view`.
+
+2. **Change imports of moved names.** **Who must act:** projects importing any
+   of these; the compiler lists every site.
