Four passes of audit-and-patch on the tool surface, condensed.
Tool API shape:
- Todo tools collapse to a single list-based form (one arg per tool,
always a list, no dual-mode validator). Result-field names line up
across the family — created_count / updated_count / marked_count /
deleted_count, and _mark returns a single "marked" key plus the new
status instead of marked_done / marked_pending.
- list_notes splits the overloaded total_count into filtered_count
(matches) and total_count (grand total), matching list_todos. All
three notes mutations now echo total_count and note_id.
- finish_scan drops the machine-code error strings; a single human
"error" key carries the reason on every failure path.
- scope_rules delete echoes a message so the renderer's success
branch has something to surface.
Failure-key unification: every tool now uses {"success": False,
"error": "..."} on failure paths. Touched thinking, web_search,
reporting, and finish. Trailing periods on error strings swept clean
across the whole tool tree.
Tool prompts (docstring re-imports vs main):
- create_vulnerability_report re-imports the CWE reference catalog,
multi-part fix rules, fix_before/fix_after PR-suggestion mechanics,
the COMMON MISTAKES list, the informational-vs-actionable
distinction, and file-path examples.
- web_search re-imports concrete example queries.
- list_sitemap docstring fixed hasDescendants -> has_descendants
(the camelCase reference never matched our snake_case schema).
- create_agent.skills description "Comma-separated" -> "List of".
- factory.py module docstring no longer claims there's no runtime
skill-loading tool. agents_graph module docstring lists stop_agent.
- system_prompt nudges loading the matching skill before guessing
payloads or syntax from memory.
TUI:
- proxy_renderer was reading stale field names from the pre-SDK
schema (requests / total_count / statusCode / matches /
showing_lines); now reads entries / page_info / status_code / hits
/ page+total_lines. Three proxy operations were rendering empty
before this.
- Idle-pane placeholder text trimmed to "Loading...".

Reject ambiguous calls in todo tools that previously combined the
single-target params and the bulk-array param (e.g. create_todo with
both `title` and `todos` would silently create N+1 items). Each tool
now errors with a mode-specific hint pointing the model at the
appropriate form. Also drop the meaningless char-count from `think`'s
success message — the model already knows what it wrote.

``@strix_tool`` was passing through every kwarg to ``@function_tool``
with the same defaults — zero Strix-specific value-add. The docstring
also still claimed terminal/browser/python tools opted into
``timeout_behavior="raise_exception"``, but those tools were all
deleted in the recent migrations.
- Replace 30 ``@strix_tool(...)`` callsites with ``@function_tool(...)``.
- Inline ``dump_tool_result(x)`` as ``json.dumps(x, ensure_ascii=False,
default=str)`` at all 64 callsites — no helper.
- Delete ``strix/tools/_decorator.py``.
Drive-by: gut dead package re-exports.
- ``strix/{agents,orchestration,tools}/__init__.py`` re-exported
symbols nobody imports via the package — every consumer uses deep
paths (``from strix.agents.factory import build_strix_agent``).
- The 8 ``strix/tools/<sub>/__init__.py`` re-exports only fed the
splat ``from .agents_graph import *`` etc. in the parent package
init, which is also gone now.
- Reduced to docstrings (or empty) so ``import strix.tools`` doesn't
drag every tool's transitive deps in eagerly.
Drive-by: drop dead helpers in ``runtime.session_manager``
(``cached_scan_ids``, ``_reset_cache_for_tests``) — zero callers since
``tests/`` was nuked in ``a6d578c``.
Verified all tool timeouts preserved (think=10, list_requests=120,
finish_scan=60, web_search=330) and ruff/mypy at baseline.

Port the prose guidance that previously lived in the deleted
*_actions_schema.xml files into per-tool docstrings, so the SDK's
auto-generated function schema carries the same domain knowledge
(HTTPQL syntax, Caido sitemap kinds, browser persistence/JS rules,
agent specialization caps, customer-facing report rules, CVSS/CWE
guidance, etc.) without any custom prompt scaffolding.
Strip the <tool_usage> block from system_prompt.jinja — XML format
guidance, the "CRITICAL RULES" 0-8 list, and the </function>
closing-tag reminder all contradicted the SDK's native JSON
function-calling protocol.

Cleanup pass after the migration:
#1 Inline ``*_actions.py`` into wrapper ``tool[s].py`` for the
non-sandbox tools (think, todo, notes, reporting, web_search,
finish_scan). One file per tool family now. Helpers + public
function bodies live alongside the ``@strix_tool``-decorated
wrappers that call them.
For notes, the sync helpers are renamed to ``_create_note_impl`` /
``_list_notes_impl`` / etc. so the public names ``create_note`` /
``list_notes`` / etc. can be the FunctionTool instances the agent
factory imports. ``append_note_content`` (used by the agents-graph
wiki-update hook) calls the impl helpers directly.
#2 Delete ``strix/tools/_state_adapter.py``. The ``AgentStateAdapter``
shim only existed to feed legacy ``*_actions.py`` functions a
``state.agent_id`` they could read. With the actions inlined, the
wrappers read ``ctx.context['agent_id']`` directly.
#3 Strip ``strix/tools/registry.py`` from ~250 LOC to ~110.
Deleted: XML schema loading, ``_parse_param_schema``,
``get_tools_prompt``, ``get_tool_param_schema``, ``needs_agent_state``,
``should_execute_in_sandbox``, ``validate_tool_availability`` — all
for the host-side legacy dispatcher path. Kept the ``register_tool``
decorator (sandbox side), ``get_tool_by_name``, ``get_tool_names``,
``tools`` list, ``clear_registry``.
The Jinja prompt template's ``{{ get_tools_prompt() }}`` injection
is dropped — the SDK auto-generates tool descriptions from function
signatures, so the legacy XML tool block was redundant and stale.
#4 Delete every ``*_actions_schema.xml`` (12 files). They were read
by the now-removed ``_load_xml_schema`` to build the legacy prompt's
tool descriptions. No consumer remains.
Side fixes:
- ``reporting_renderer.py`` updated to import ``_parse_*_xml`` from
the new location with leading underscore.
- ``test_local_tools.py``, ``test_notes_jsonl_concurrency.py``,
``test_notes_wiki.py`` updated to point at the new module paths
and call the ``_*_impl`` sync helpers.
Tests: 279/279 passing. ~1500 LOC of action files moved into the
tool wrappers; ~140 LOC of registry boilerplate removed; ~400 lines
of dead XML deleted.

The SDK harness is the only path now; legacy host-side code is gone.
File names no longer carry the ``sdk_`` distinction.
Deleted legacy host-side modules:
- strix/agents/StrixAgent/ (template moved to strix/agents/prompts/)
- strix/agents/base_agent.py, state.py
- strix/llm/llm.py, config.py
- strix/runtime/docker_runtime.py, runtime.py
- strix/tools/executor.py, agents_graph/agents_graph_actions.py
- strix/interface/sdk_dispatch.py + the env-flag dispatch in cli.py
Renamed (drop ``sdk_`` prefix):
- strix/sdk_entry.py → strix/entry.py
- strix/agents/sdk_factory.py → strix/agents/factory.py
- strix/agents/sdk_prompt.py → strix/agents/prompt.py
- strix/tools/<x>/<x>_sdk_tool[s].py → strix/tools/<x>/tool[s].py
- strix/tools/_legacy_adapter.py → strix/tools/_state_adapter.py
- ``_legacy`` aliases inside the wrappers → ``_impl``
CLI + TUI now call ``run_strix_scan`` directly — they build the
sandbox image / sources_path locally and rely on
``session_manager.cleanup`` (called inside ``run_strix_scan``'s finally)
for teardown. Three TUI handlers that reached into legacy multi-agent
globals (``_agent_instances``, ``send_user_message_to_agent``,
``stop_agent``) are now no-ops with a TODO; reconnecting them to the
``AgentMessageBus`` is a follow-up.
Tracer.get_total_llm_stats no longer reaches into the deleted
``agents_graph_actions`` globals — the orchestration hooks now feed the
tracer via ``Tracer.record_llm_usage`` (live + completed buckets).
finish_scan's ``_check_active_agents`` and load_skill's runtime
``_agent_instances`` reach-in are no-op stubs; the
``AgentMessageBus`` is the source of truth post-migration.
llm/utils.py rewritten to keep only the streaming-parser helpers
(``normalize_tool_format``, ``parse_tool_invocations``,
``fix_incomplete_tool_call``, ``format_tool_call``, ``clean_content``).
``STRIX_MODEL_MAP`` moved to ``llm/multi_provider_setup.py`` (its only
remaining caller).
Per-file ruff ignores added for legacy interface modules (TUI / main /
CLI / utils / streaming_parser / tool_components) and tracer.py —
pre-existing PLC0415/BLE001/PLR0915 patterns are out of scope.
Tests: 287/287 passing. Renamed test files to drop ``sdk_`` prefix.
``test_tracer.py::test_get_total_llm_stats_aggregates_live_and_completed``
rewritten to feed ``Tracer.record_llm_usage`` instead of legacy globals.
Test file annotations added so pre-commit's strict mypy passes.
