A third choice for "Tools for the AI" in the Gates window. With "On demand",
AI apps are offered only action_catalog.CORE plus two tools of
mcp_directory.py:
- CORE: begin_task, get_situation, run_workflow, run_status, report, ask_user,
get_answers.
- tool_help: the description and arguments of up to three tools named in the
directory.
- use_tool: calls any tool of the directory.
tools/list drops to 11 tools and about 9,000 characters (daily 22,200, full
40,700). With this set the directory begin_task brings names every tool and
says how to reach the ones not listed.
use_tool has no run of its own. mcp_server._call makes the call the tool it
names before anything else, so the user's gates, the timeline's step, the run
watch and the answer are all that tool's; the timeline never shows use_tool.
An unknown name, the card's own tools or wrong arguments come back as tool
errors that point to tool_help.
The default stays Full. Switching back to Daily or Full in the Gates window
undoes this without a revert, and this commit stands alone if it has to go.
