Stringified parameter values ("true" for a boolean, "64" for an int, stringified arrays/objects) failed at the typed decoder with "invalid parameters", burning a full turn on a mistake the agent could fix itself.

The repair layer (repairToolCall) already knew how to coerce these, but fantasy's pre-execution validation is type-blind, so the repair hook was never invoked for type mismatches. This wraps every tool in a coercingTool that applies the same strict, schema-driven coercion rules before the typed decoder runs. Ambiguous values ("yes", "1") are left untouched so the normal error path still runs, and every repair is logged at Info for auditability.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Tool inputs are automatically coerced to match declared schemas before execution, including booleans, typed values, arrays, and nested objects.
  • Additional properties are preserved or filtered according to schema rules, including nested schemas.
  • Coercion also applies to tools used through delegated agent actions.
  • Safely unconvertible, ambiguous, invalid, or schema-less inputs remain unchanged.
  • Repaired inputs are consistently passed to hooks and tools, with successful repairs logged.

• Documentation

  • Added documentation describing the tool-input sanitization process.

Changes

Tool input coercion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Coercion and complete schema handling pkg/agent/coercing_tool.go, pkg/agent/toolcallrepair.go	coercingTool repairs deterministic schema type mismatches before execution. Repair now uses complete parameter schemas, including nested additionalProperties rules.
Agent and delegated-tool integration pkg/agent/coordinator.go, pkg/agent/agentic_fetch_tool.go	buildTools applies coercion after hook wrapping. Delegated agentic_fetch tools also receive coercion while repeated hook interception remains disabled.
Validation and documentation pkg/agent/coercing_tool_test.go, docs/security/SECRETS_PROTECTION.md	Tests cover supported coercion, unchanged inputs, nested values, additional properties, execution, metadata, and provider options. The security documentation describes pre-execution coercion.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d9ab

Tool-call inputs are now repaired before hooks and tools see them, and that ordering is correct. Some schema shapes are still mishandled. A schema that describes allowed extra fields with an object, instead of true or false, causes those valid extra arguments to be removed. A tool with an argument literally named "properties" can lose other arguments. A closed object with no declared fields keeps unexpected keys. Resolve these before merging unless these schema shapes are known not to occur.

Review comments at @pkg/agent/coercing_tool.go:
- Line 81: Update coerceObject and its caller around the repaired, changed
result so valid properties not listed in the schema are retained when additional
properties are permitted. Preserve fields such as payload while repairing
declared fields like active, and remove extras only when the schema explicitly
disallows them.

Review comments at @pkg/agent/coordinator.go:
- Line 1209: Also apply wrapToolsWithCoercion to the separately constructed
fetchTools slice before agenticFetchTool passes it to NewSessionAgent, ensuring
inner web_fetch and related tools receive the same coercion handling as
buildTools output.
- Line 1209: Change the tool-wrapper order around wrapToolsWithCoercion and
wrapToolsWithHooks so coercion is the inner wrapper and PreToolUse hooks inspect
the coerced input. Ensure any hook-rewritten input is passed through the
coercion/typed-decoding path before execution, preserving the repaired-input
contract.

@coderabbitai all three review findings are addressed in 7d9abab (additionalProperties honoured, agentic_fetch inner tools wrapped, coercion ordered outermost so PreToolUse hooks see repaired input). Note: the wrapper-order finding's fix is applied, but its description had the wrapper semantics inverted — the last-applied wrapper is outermost and executes first, so coercion applied after wrapToolsWithHooks is what makes coercion run before hook inspection. Please re-review.

[coderabbitai]

@tmaiaroto I’ll re-review the changes in 7d9abab, including additionalProperties, the agentic_fetch inner tools, and wrapper order.

You are correct about wrapper order. My earlier description inverted the semantics. The last-applied wrapper is outermost and executes first. Applying coercion after wrapToolsWithHooks makes coercion run before PreToolUse hook inspection. Thanks for the correction.

Timestamp: 2026-10-20T06:08:26.231Z
Learning: In hackafterdark/phosphor, tool wrappers execute from outermost to innermost. The last-applied wrapper is outermost and executes first. In pkg/agent/coordinator.go, apply wrapToolsWithCoercion after wrapToolsWithHooks so PreToolUse hooks receive repaired input.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Review comments at @pkg/agent/toolcallrepair.go:
- Around line 84-85: Update the parameter-shape detection around the properties
check in the tool-call repair flow so an inline argument named properties is not
mistaken for root schema metadata. Identify a complete root schema using the
surrounding schema structure and preserve all valid inline arguments, including
active, when repairing inputs.
- Around line 143-144: Update the additionalProperties handling in the
object-repair flow around coerceObject so schema-valued additionalProperties is
recognized instead of being treated as false. Preserve permitted extra fields
and apply the declared value schema when coercing them, while retaining existing
behavior for boolean additionalProperties.
- Line 115: Update the conditional in the tool-call repair logic around
allowAdditional so an explicitly present props map triggers unknown-key removal
even when it is empty. Preserve the existing behavior for schemas without props
and ensure closed empty-object schemas remove unexpected keys.
