1//! Transport-agnostic text formatting for tool outputs.
2//!
3//! This module provides the [`TextFormat`] trait for converting tool outputs to
4//! human-readable text, along with supporting types and helpers.
5//!
6//! # Usage
7//!
8//! Tool outputs must implement [`TextFormat`]. The trait provides a default
9//! implementation that returns pretty-printed JSON via the `Serialize` supertrait.
10//! Types can override `fmt_text` for custom human-friendly formatting:
11//!
12//! ```ignore
13//! use agentic_tools_core::fmt::{TextFormat, TextOptions};
14//! use serde::Serialize;
15//!
16//! #[derive(Serialize)]
17//! struct MyOutput {
18//! count: usize,
19//! items: Vec<String>,
20//! }
21//!
22//! // Use default (pretty JSON):
23//! impl TextFormat for MyOutput {}
24//!
25//! // Or provide custom formatting:
26//! impl TextFormat for MyOutput {
27//! fn fmt_text(&self, opts: &TextOptions) -> String {
28//! format!("Found {} items:\n{}", self.count, self.items.join("\n"))
29//! }
30//! }
31//! ```
32//!
33//! # Default `TextFormat` Fallback
34//!
35//! The [`TextFormat`] trait requires `Serialize` and provides a default `fmt_text`
36//! implementation that produces pretty-printed JSON. This means:
37//!
38//! - Types with custom formatting override `fmt_text()`
39//! - Types wanting JSON fallback use an empty impl: `impl TextFormat for T {}`
40//! - The registry always calls `fmt_text()` on the native output—no detection needed
