polyc-tools 2026.8.3

The in-process tool core for polychrome agents: local executors (coding, web fetch, wallet, ...), the tool registry, and MCP composition. The networked connectors live in polyc-connectors.
//! Spec for the `peer_call` tool: delegate a request to another agent over
//! [A2A](https://github.com/a2aproject/A2A).
//!
//! `peer_call` has no in-process implementation here: a peer's endpoint is a
//! deployment-configured address (`POLYCHROME_A2A_PEERS`), never a
//! model-supplied URL, so — like `conversation_find` — this pure Component only
//! advertises the spec. The harness forwards an approved call to the control
//! plane over the bidirectional harness stream (`#760`), which owns dialing
//! the peer with the `polyc_a2a` client (a Container this Component may not
//! depend on, per the layer rule — see `docs/architecture/README.md`).
//!
//! Unlike `web_fetch`/`paid_fetch`, the destination is never attacker-
//! influenced (the model can only name one of the deployment's configured
//! peers — see [`spec`]'s `peer` enum), so there is no SSRF surface to guard
//! trusted-side. But delegating to another autonomous agent is still a real,
//! consequential action — the peer may act on the request, and its reply is
//! content of uncontrolled provenance — so [`spec`] intrinsically requires
//! human approval and is marked open-world, mirroring `paid_fetch` (fail
//! closed rather than treating this as a plain read).

/// `peer_call` spec, parametrized over the deployment's configured peer names.
///
/// `peer_names` is advertised as the `peer` argument's JSON-Schema `enum`, so
/// the model can only ever name a peer that is actually configured — never an
/// arbitrary string or URL that happens to resemble one. Call with an empty
/// slice only when the tool is not offered at all (mirrors `paid_fetch`'s
/// wallet gate): an empty `enum` still validates syntactically but the model
/// has nothing legal to put there.
