Documentation

agent-bridle-core — the capability-enforcement core.

This crate is the leash: it owns the [Tool] trait, the [Gate] (the single mint site for a [ToolContext]), the [Registry], the [Sandbox] plumbing, and the result [ToolEnvelope]. It re-exports the canonical authority types ([Caveats], [Scope], [CountBound]) from agent-mesh-protocol so every host and tool speaks one lattice.

The non-bypassable invariant (DESIGN §2): a [Tool] can only act through a [ToolContext], and a ToolContext can only be minted inside [Gate::authorize]. So the only path to running a tool runs through the leash, and the tool receives the meet of granted-and-required authority — least authority by construction.

Dependency budget is deliberately tiny — anyhow, serde, serde_json, async-trait, agent-mesh-protocol. No tokio. No brush. Heavy runtimes live in leaf tool crates only.
