//! Tool handles: MCP sessions, HTTP/OpenAPI endpoints, local processes.
//!
//! Tools are capabilities like everything else, which means a tool handle
//! inherits the same guarantees: no ambient authority, attenuation-only
//! narrowing, budget accounting and drop notification.
//!
//! | Adapter | What it talks to |
//! |---------|------------------|
//! | [`McpSession`] | an MCP server, over an injected line transport (stdio or in-memory) |
//! | [`HttpTool`] | an HTTP endpoint restricted to an allowlist of `METHOD path` pairs |
//! | [`LocalProcess`] | a sandboxed child process: allowlisted program, no shell, scrubbed environment |
//!
//! Every adapter returns a [`Response::Value`] built from JSON, never a raw
//! string dump, and every adapter refuses a call outside its policy with
//! `rpc/tool-policy`.
