feat(tool_calling): make the module usable by a host - #106
Conversation
Follow-up to #102/#105, found by wiring the first real consumer. The module could not be compiled against without the host keeping private copies of the code it had just stopped owning. Three gaps: - `extract_json_values` was not exported, and it is not a test helper. Pulling the first JSON object out of model prose is how a host validates a required-output contract, which has nothing to do with tool calls - OpenHuman calls it from production code, not just tests. Exported alongside `parse_arguments_value`, `parse_glm_style_tool_calls` and `parse_tool_calls_from_json_value`, which its tests drive directly. - `parse_tool_call_value` was `#[cfg(test)]`, inherited from a host where it happened to be test-only. It is a reasonable public primitive - parse one JSON value as a tool call - so it is un-gated and documented rather than duplicated downstream. Its doc says what licenses the argument-key aliases, so a caller cannot reach for it on arbitrary model output by mistake. - `build_registry` took `&Value`. A host tool trait that RETURNS a schema by value - the common shape, and OpenHuman's - then has to collect into a temporary purely to hand out references. It takes `Borrow<Value>` now, so `Value` and `&Value` both work. The alternative was for the host to shadow the parsers it had just moved, or drop the tests covering them. With these, all 62 of OpenHuman's parser tests run against the crate with no coverage lost. No behaviour change: exports and one signature widening. 1823 lib tests pass. Clippy and fmt clean.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The change enables host integrations and does not introduce a known runtime behavior problem, but the public parser documentation should explicitly list the supported argument keys to avoid ambiguity for callers.

List the accepted argument-key aliases.
The documentation says that aliases are supported but does not define them. State that arguments is the canonical key and that explicitly marked values also accept args, parameters, and input. Keep the warning that this function does not verify marker provenance.
Proposed documentation update

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

No behaviour change — exports and one signature widening. 24 lines.
The three gaps
extract_json_valueswas not exported, and it is not a test helper. Pulling the first JSON object out of model prose is how a host validates a required-output contract — nothing to do with tool calls. OpenHuman calls it from production code (required_output.rs), not just tests. Exported alongsideparse_arguments_value,parse_glm_style_tool_callsandparse_tool_calls_from_json_value, which its tests drive directly.parse_tool_call_valuewas#[cfg(test)]— inherited from a host where it happened to be test-only. It is a reasonable public primitive (parse one JSON value as a tool call), so it is un-gated and documented rather than duplicated downstream. Its doc states what licenses the argument-key aliases, so a caller cannot reach for it on arbitrary model output by mistake.build_registrytook&Value. A host tool trait that returns a schema by value — the common shape, and OpenHuman's — then has to collect into a temporary purely to hand out references:It takes
Borrow<Value>now, soValueand&Valueboth work. This is the API wart the first consumer was always going to find.Why it matters
Without these the host either shadows the parsers it just moved — defeating the point of the extraction — or drops the tests covering them. With them, all 62 of OpenHuman's parser tests run against the crate, no coverage lost.
Note on provenance
These changes were originally pushed onto
glm-drop-to-mainwhile #105 was open, but #105 merged at the earlier commit, so they never reachedmain. This re-lands them cleanly off currentmain, with the GLM fix excluded since it is already there.Verification
