Struct ToolDefinition 

pub struct ToolDefinition {
    pub name: ToolName,
    pub description: String,
    pub parameters: Value,
}

Minimal tool definition passed to LLM providers.

Decoupled from zeph-tools::ToolDef to avoid cross-crate dependencies. Providers translate this into their native tool/function format before sending to the API.

Examples

use zeph_common::types::ToolDefinition;
use zeph_common::ToolName;

let tool = ToolDefinition {
    name: ToolName::new("get_weather"),
    description: "Return current weather for a city.".into(),
    parameters: serde_json::json!({
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "city": { "type": "string" }
        },
        "required": ["city"]
    }),
};
assert_eq!(tool.name, "get_weather");

Fields

name: ToolName

Tool name — must match the name used in the response ToolUseRequest.

description: String

Human-readable description guiding the model on when to call this tool.

parameters: Value

JSON Schema object describing parameters.
