 # v26.9.1, build 256 (2026-09-xx xx:xx UTC)
-- Added tools that AI models can use on their own, starting with Web Search and Read Web Page. When you ask something a model cannot answer from what it knows, it now searches the web, reads the pages it found, and answers with the sources it used. You decide which tools a model may use, right below the message field, and you can watch it work: AI Studio shows which tool is running and, afterward, every call it made with its result. Whether tools are offered at all depends on the model because it has to support them. Read Web Page works right away; Web Search needs a SearXNG instance you or your organization runs, which you enter in the app settings. Many thanks to Peer Schütt (`peerschuett`) and Nils Kruthoff (`nilskruthoff`) for building this feature.

Read Web Page works right away; for Web Search you pick a search service in the app settings — Tavily or Staan with a free API key, or a SearXNG instance you run yourself. Set up more than one, and they can take turns when one of them finds nothing, or be asked all at once with their results combined. Many thanks to Peer Schütt (`peerschuett`) and Nils Kruthoff (`nilskruthoff`) for building this feature.
 - Added safeguards around everything these tools bring back. Anything fetched from the web is treated as untrusted: AI Studio removes instructions hidden in a page before a model reads it and tells you when it did, exactly as it already does for the documents and web pages you load yourself. A model can never point a tool at your own network. Each tool states how much you have to trust a provider before it may be used with it, so your questions do not travel further than you allow. You can adjust that requirement per tool in the app settings.
 - Added tools to the assistants. Each assistant has its own tool settings: which tools it starts with and whether you get to change them while you work. The chat, the coding assistant, and the Slide Builder always show the selection; for every other assistant you switch it on where you want it.
 - Added tools to the Batch Processing assistant, so a batch run can look things up while it works through your documents. You choose them next to the instructions of the job, and every document is processed with the same set. The log file now records which tools were used for each document, and whether a call failed or was blocked, so you can tell how an answer came about.
 - Added tools to the policies of the Document Analysis assistant. A policy states which tools an analysis may use, and the AI uses exactly those — nobody has to pick them per document. AI Studio warns you beforehand when the provider you selected is not trusted enough for a tool the policy names. IT departments can roll policies out together with their tools.
 - Added tools to assistant plugins and direct-chat launchers. Plugin authors name them in the new `ToolIds` field, either as the tools an assistant runs with or as the tools a launcher preselects for the chat it opens; the example assistant plugin shows both. Which tools an assistant asks for is part of what you get to see before you enable it: its security card names them, and the security audit takes them into account.
 - Added tools to the Assistant Builder. For a direct-chat launcher you pick them yourself, alongside the workspace, provider, and data sources. For an assistant, the AI chooses from the tools installed here and says so in the draft, so you see the decision before the assistant is written.
-- Added organization-wide management for tools. IT departments can switch tools off entirely (`DataTools.EnableTools`), disable individual ones (`DataTools.DisabledToolIds`), raise the provider trust a tool requires (`DataTools.MinimumProviderConfidenceByToolId`), and manage every tool setting by tool and field name — either fixed (`DataTools.LockedToolSettings`) or as a pre-filled value the user may still change (`DataTools.DefaultToolSettings`). None of this needs to be known to AI Studio in advance, so it covers the tools future plugins will bring just as well. Secrets are the exception: they stay in the operating system's keyring, which no configuration file can write to. The example configuration plugin documents every setting of both tools.

Secrets such as API keys can be rolled out too, encrypted with your enterprise encryption secret, the same way you already deploy provider keys.

 - Added tool calling to the abilities you can state yourself in the expert provider settings. When you use a model AI Studio does not recognize as tool-capable, you can now declare that it is, the same way you already could for image input or reasoning.
 - Improved loading web content in the assistants: it now uses the same reader as the Read Web Page tool, which extracts the main content of a page more reliably and skips navigation and boilerplate. Pages from your own network, including local servers, keep working as before. When a page cannot be read, AI Studio now says why instead of leaving the field empty.

 Tools are currently part of the .NET app. They are currently not Lua plugins and they are currently not loaded dynamically from user folders. Adding a tool currently requires code changes.
 
-## Architecture
+A tool is a single `IToolImplementation` class in `app/MindWork AI Studio/Tools/ToolCallingSystem/ToolCallingImplementations/`, registered in `Program.cs`. It states what it is through `GetDefinition()` and does what it promises in `ExecuteAsync`. There are no tool definition files and no schema to keep in sync by hand, so this document carries only what the code cannot tell you: how the provider APIs differ, the rules a tool has to follow, and the obligations that come with returning content from outside AI Studio. For the shape of a tool, read `WebSearchTool` and `ReadWebPageTool`.

-A tool written in C# is a single class: an `IToolImplementation` in `app/MindWork AI Studio/Tools/ToolCallingSystem/ToolCallingImplementations/` that states what it is through `GetDefinition()` and does what it promises in `ExecuteAsync`. There are no tool definition files.
-
-Where a definition comes from and what it is are two different questions, and `IToolDefinitionSource` separates them. `CodeToolDefinitionSource` asks every registered implementation for its definition. A tool arriving from elsewhere — one written by a plugin author, say — brings a source of its own instead and is joined to an implementation by its implementation key. `ToolRegistry` validates every definition the same way no matter where it came from, which matters most for the ones AI Studio does not control, and `ToolExecutor` runs the implementation when a provider returns a matching function call.

-## The Harness
-
-One loop drives every provider: `ToolCallingLoop` in `Tools/ToolCallingSystem/Harness/`, resolved through DI as `IToolCallingLoop`. It asks the model, runs what the model asked for, and asks again, until the model answers or a limit is reached. Providers do not implement that loop; they hand it an adapter.
-
-An `IToolCallingProviderAdapter` translates between the loop and one provider API's wire format. It is stateful and belongs to a single streaming call, because it accumulates the conversation the next round has to see. It answers three questions:
-
-- Run one non-streamed round and report what the model said, as a `ToolCallingRound`.
-- Record the model's turn, so the next round sees it.
-- Record one tool result, correlated by call ID.
-
-Everything else is the loop's business and therefore identical everywhere: the two limits from `ToolSelectionRules` (`MAX_TOOL_CALLS` for the number of calls, `MAX_TOOL_RESULT_CHARACTERS` for their cumulative size), asking for a final answer once a limit is reached, rejecting unusable calls, the running-tool status in the UI, collecting tool sources, and raising the chat's required provider confidence.
-
-Adding a provider API means writing an adapter, not another loop. The existing ones are `ChatCompletionToolCallingAdapter` and `ResponsesToolCallingAdapter` in `Provider/OpenAI/`, and `AnthropicToolCallingAdapter` in `Provider/Anthropic/`. Replacing the harness itself — an agent mode, say — means another `IToolCallingLoop`; the adapters stay as they are.
-
-`ProviderToolAdapters` maps a canonical `ToolDefinition` to each wire shape: `ToChatCompletionTool`, `ToResponsesTool`, `ToAnthropicTool`.
-
 ## Provider API Shapes
 
 A tool states its function once, in its `ToolDefinition`, and the adapters generate each API's request shape from it. What differs is naming and nesting: Chat Completions compatible APIs put the function under a `function` object, the OpenAI Responses API takes the same fields flat, and the Anthropic messages API calls the schema `input_schema` and nests nothing. Keep that difference inside `ProviderToolAdapters`; a tool implementation never learns which shape was used.

 ## Writing A Tool
 
-Implement `IToolImplementation` and register the class in `Program.cs`. Definition and implementation are one object here: `GetDefinition()` describes where the tool may be used, which settings it needs, the lowest provider confidence it may run with, the function schema sent to the model, and optional per-tool policy guidance injected centrally into the system prompt. User-visible names, descriptions, and icons come from the implementation's own members, never from the definition — only those can be translated.
+User-visible names, descriptions, and icons come from the implementation's own members, never from the definition — only those can be translated.
 
-Two builders write the schemas: `ToolSettingsSchemaBuilder` for the settings, `ToolParameterSchemaBuilder` for the arguments the model passes.
+Use stable lower-case IDs with underscores, and keep `Id`, `ImplementationKey`, and `Function.Name` identical unless there is a clear compatibility reason not to. Give every argument and setting name a constant that the schema and the reading code share: the two then cannot drift apart.

 `VisibleIn.AllowedComponents` and `VisibleIn.DeniedComponents` are optional lists of `Components` values; a value outside the enum makes the definition invalid. When both lists are empty, the `Chat` and `Assistants` flags apply. As soon as either list has an entry, the lists replace those flags: an empty allow list starts by allowing every component, a non-empty allow list allows only its entries, and the deny list is applied last and always wins.
 
 Keep `Function.DescriptionForLLM` focused on what the tool does. This value is mapped to the provider's function `description` field and is only shown to the LLM. Put sequencing rules, answer-format guidance, or other behavior instructions in `SystemPromptInstructions`. When runnable tools are selected, their non-empty policy text is combined centrally and appended to the effective system prompt.
 
-## Settings And Secrets
+A setting offering a fixed choice takes it from an option source — `RequiredChoice` and `OptionalChoice` name a list the app maintains, see `ToolSettingsOptionSources` — or spells its values out in the field's `enum` list, which is how a definition arriving as data offers a choice of its own. The two are mutually exclusive, and `ToolRegistry` rejects a definition that uses both or names an unknown source. Check a stored value in `ValidateConfigurationAsync` either way: it can predate the current list or arrive from an organization's configuration.
-
-Tool settings are stored through `ToolSettingsService`. Plain settings are stored in the regular configuration data. Settings declared with `RequiredSecret` or `OptionalSecret` are stored in the OS keyring through the Rust service.
-
-A setting offering a fixed choice takes it from an option source: `RequiredChoice` and `OptionalChoice` name a list the app maintains — see `ToolSettingsOptionSources`. The list then exists once in code instead of once per tool, and the dialog shows translated names instead of raw values. A definition may alternatively spell its values out in the field's `enum` list, which is how a definition arriving as data offers a choice of its own. The two are mutually exclusive, and `ToolRegistry` rejects a definition that uses both or names an unknown source.
-
-A setting whose absence makes the tool fail is declared with `Required`, rather than saying so in its description. The tool then counts as unconfigured until it is set, which the UI shows and which keeps the tool out of the model's reach — instead of the tool running and returning nothing. The web search language is the example: without it, most search engines return no results at all.
-
-Use `ValidateConfigurationAsync` when a setting needs more than "required field is present" validation, such as URL syntax, numeric limits, mutually exclusive options, or allowlist parsing. Validate values coming from an option source there too: a stored value can predate the current list or arrive from an organization's configuration.
-
-Use `SensitiveTraceArgumentNames` for model-provided arguments that must not be shown in tool traces. Do not return secrets in `TextContent`, `JsonContent`, exception messages, logs, or trace formatting.
 
 When a tool returns data that future messages must only send to providers at or above a specific confidence level, set `ToolExecutionResult.RequiredProviderConfidence`. AI Studio persists the highest requirement reached by the chat and applies it to later provider checks. Provider instances listed in `DataSourceSecuritySettings.TrustedProviderIds` may also continue chats containing data protected this way.

 What differs between callers is which targets are acceptable, and that follows from who chose the URL. `web_search` uses the public-only policy and never reads private, loopback, or link-local targets. `read_web_page` may reach an explicitly allowed private host, and only for a High-confidence or configuration-trusted provider. The `ReadWebContent` component sets `TargetChosenByUser`, which lifts the target restrictions entirely: the user typed the address, so their own network and a local server are legitimate. Never set that flag for a URL that reached AI Studio through a model.

 Every successfully retrieved page with readable content is also returned as a structured tool source, using the final URL after redirects and the extracted page title. The provider collects these sources across local tool calls and attaches them to the final response under the separate “Sources used by tools” heading. Failed, blocked, empty, and duplicate retrievals do not add sources — a pattern worth copying for any tool that returns material the user may want to check.
 
-Retrieved Markdown shares a configurable total character budget: every successful result first receives its configured minimum allocation, the rest is assigned in ranking order, and short pages leave their unused allocation to later results.
-
-Every non-secret tool setting is centrally manageable without any code: an organization addresses it by `"<toolId>.<fieldName>"` in `DataTools.LockedToolSettings` or `DataTools.DefaultToolSettings`. A locked value wins over everything and cannot be changed by the user; a default pre-fills the field until the user saves a value of their own. Nothing has to be registered per setting, which is what allows tools defined by plugin authors — unknown when AI Studio was built — to be configured the same way.
-
-What remains to do for a new setting is documenting it: add its field name, meaning, and data type to the tool's field list in `Plugins/configuration/plugin.lua`.
-
-Secret fields never travel this way. They live in the OS keyring, which a configuration file cannot write to.
