llm_tool/
types.rs

1//! Core types for `llm-tool`: tool output, errors, context, and definitions.
2//!
3//! Defines the types that tools produce ([`ToolOutput`], [`ToolError`]),
4//! the execution context ([`ToolContext`]) shared across tool calls, and
5//! the [`ToolDefinition`] metadata sent to models.

20/// Context passed to Rust tools during dispatch.
21///
22/// Provides access to the current conversation ID, a shared key-value state
23/// store that persists across tool calls within the same agent turn, and an
24/// idle flag.
25///
26/// The state is backed by `Arc<RwLock<HashMap>>` so it can be cheaply cloned
27/// and shared across concurrent tool invocations. Reads acquire a shared
28/// lock; only writes take an exclusive lock.
29///
30/// # `get_state` vs `set_state` error handling
31///
32/// These two methods intentionally handle mutex poisoning differently:
33///
34/// - **[`get_state`](Self::get_state)** acquires a **read** lock and returns
35///   the caller-supplied `default` when the lock is poisoned. Reads are
36///   best-effort — a missing value is indistinguishable from a default, so
37///   returning `default` keeps the tool running without surfacing
38///   infrastructure errors to the model.
39///
40/// - **[`set_state`](Self::set_state)** acquires a **write** lock and returns
41///   `Err` when the lock is poisoned. Writes that silently vanish can cause
42///   subtle logic bugs, so callers must handle the failure explicitly.
43/// # Typed extensions
44///
45/// In addition to the string-keyed JSON state, `ToolContext` supports
46/// **typed extensions** via [`set_ext`](Self::set_ext) /
47/// [`get_ext`](Self::get_ext). These use `std::any::Any` under the hood
48/// and are keyed by `TypeId`, so callers store and retrieve strongly-typed
49/// values (typically `Arc<T>`) without serialization.
50///
51/// ```rust
52/// use std::sync::Arc;
53///
54/// use llm_tool::ToolContext;
55///
56/// struct MyState {
57///     session_dir: String,
58/// }
59///
60/// let ctx = ToolContext::new(None);
61/// ctx.set_ext(Arc::new(MyState {
62///     session_dir: "/tmp".into(),
63/// }))
64/// .unwrap();
65///
66/// let state: Arc<MyState> = ctx.get_ext::<Arc<MyState>>().unwrap();
67/// assert_eq!(state.session_dir, "/tmp");

512/// Wrapper for returning serializable values as JSON tool output.
513///
514/// Implements `From<Json<T>> for ToolOutput` so it works with the
515/// `#[llm_tool]` macro's `.into()` conversion — no `Result` wrapper needed
516/// for infallible serialization.
517///
518/// # Panics
519///
520/// The `From` conversion panics if `serde_json::to_string` fails.
521/// This only happens with broken `Serialize` implementations (e.g.,
522/// maps with non-string keys). For explicit error handling, use
523/// [`ToolOutput::json()`] instead.
524///
525/// # Example
526///
527/// ```rust
528/// use llm_tool::{Json, ToolOutput};
529/// use serde::Serialize;
530///
531/// #[derive(Serialize)]
532/// struct Weather {
533///     temp: f64,
