Description

This PR introduces the ToolSourceRegistry contract, allowing .cgp plugins to dynamically contribute custom tools to the IDE's AI agent. Previously, the AI agent's toolset was fixed at compile time. The ai-core will implement this registry and publish it under SharedServices. To avoid ClassCastException issues caused by each plugin having its own class loader, all values crossing this API boundary must use standard JDK types (e.g., String, List, Map).

Details

Added the following interfaces to the plugin API:

  • ToolSourceRegistry
  • ToolSource
  • ToolSpec
  • ToolInvocation
  • ToolOutcome

Parent: ADFA-2592
ADFA-5148

Observation

  • unregisterToolSource strictly takes the ToolSource instance instead of a provider ID, ensuring a plugin can only remove its own registered sources.

  • ToolSpec.requiresApproval() defaults to true. This is inverted relative to the agent's native tools, acting as a security measure since contributed tools are not contained by the agent's path guard.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough
  • Added the versioned, additive-only ToolSourceRegistry plugin API.
  • Added ToolSource, ToolSpec, ToolInvocation, and ToolOutcome contracts.
  • Enabled plugins to register, update, invoke, and unregister custom AI-agent tools through SharedServices.
  • Restricted cross-plugin values to standard JDK types.
  • Sanitized argument maps before delivery across the plugin boundary.
  • Required the registered ToolSource instance for unregistration.
  • Set ToolSpec.requiresApproval() to true by default.
  • Added tests for default invocation, outcome, cancellation, metadata, approval, and parameter-schema behavior.
  • Updated plugin API documentation, changelog, and ABI declarations.
  • Risk: Tool providers must handle cancellation, approval, and untrusted arguments correctly.
  • Risk: Contract changes must remain additive to preserve plugin compatibility.

Walkthrough

The plugin API now defines ToolSourceRegistry and nested contracts for plugin-contributed agent tools. The API documents registration, invocation, cancellation, JDK-type boundaries, sanitized arguments, unregistration, and approval defaults.

Changes

Plugin Agent Tools

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool source registry contract
plugin-api/src/main/java/.../ToolSourceRegistry.java, plugin-api/api/plugin-api.api
Added tool-source registration, unregistration, change notifications, invocation, outcomes, metadata, cancellation, parameter schemas, and default approval behavior.
Tool contract validation and documentation
plugin-api/src/test/java/.../ToolSourceRegistryTest.java, docs/plugin-api.md, docs/PLUGIN_API_CHANGELOG.md
Added tests for default contract behavior. Documented the public API contract and lifecycle rules.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1f3a0

The new plugin tool registry still has unresolved correctness and ownership-boundary issues: source-version rejection cannot be implemented through the exposed contract, and the unregister API does not reliably prevent one plugin from removing another plugin’s source. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Poem

A rabbit checks each tool and name,
Then sends the call through JDK frames.
Sources register, invoke, and cease,
Outcomes return with clear release.
Safe defaults keep the burrow at peace.

In `@docs/plugin-api.md`:
- Line 15: Update the ToolSourceRegistry ownership description so contributing
plugins are identified as implementing ToolSource and usually ToolSpec, while
ToolInvocation is described as an agent-constructed value passed to
ToolSource.invoke; do not classify ToolInvocation as a contributing-plugin
implementation type.

In
`@plugin-api/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/plugins/services/ToolSourceRegistry.java`:
- Around line 240-242: Add a unit test for the default requiresApproval()
implementation in ToolSpec, using a source that does not override the method and
asserting that it returns true. Keep the test focused on this security-sensitive
default behavior.
- Around line 53-59: Replace the instance-based ownership check in
ToolSourceRegistry.unregisterToolSource with an unforgeable registration handle
or an owner-authenticated, plugin-scoped registry; do not treat a ToolSource
obtained from getToolSources() as proof of ownership. Update registration and
removal APIs and their callers as needed so a plugin can remove only its own
source while preserving the behavior that unknown registrations are ignored.

Apply the same fix in `@docs/PLUGIN_API_CHANGELOG.md` around lines 53 - 56.
- Around line 24-27: Update ToolSource and registerToolSource to carry a source
contract revision, then validate it against CONTRACT_VERSION and reject sources
targeting newer revisions while preserving existing registration behavior for
supported revisions. Record the public API addition in the ABI dump and plugin
API changelog.
