Feat/standard schema tool params

[imohamedfekry]

Summary

• Widens Tool.Input to accept StandardSchemaV1, enabling Valibot, ArkType, and any Standard Schema-compliant library
• Adds toolParametersToJSONSchema() helper for unified JSON Schema conversion across Zod and Standard Schema
• Updates OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini adapters to use the new helper
• 100% backward compatible with existing Zod-based tools

Test plan

• All 74 tests pass (9 new for Standard Schema, 65 existing for backward compat)
• Valibot schema → JSON Schema conversion verified
• Zod schema → JSON Schema conversion unchanged
• [ ]

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Tool parameters now accept Standard Schema inputs alongside Zod schemas. A shared converter generates JSON Schema for provider adapters. Tests cover schema conversion and input validation.

Changes

Standard Schema tool parameters

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tool schema contract and conversion packages/agent-kit/src/tool.ts, packages/agent-kit/src/util.ts, packages/agent-kit/package.json, .changeset/*	Tool input types use Standard Schema output inference. The shared converter uses a Standard Schema JSON Schema adapter when available, or converts Zod schemas with z.toJSONSchema. Dependencies and changesets support the update.
Provider conversion and validation packages/agent-kit/src/adapters/*, packages/agent-kit/src/standard-schema.test.ts	Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenAI use the shared converter with their configured schema targets. Tests cover Valibot and Zod tool creation, conversion, validation, and errors for unsupported Standard Schema implementations.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 862d8

Some OpenAI tool requests can fail because optional fields conflict with strict mode, and defaults or transforms may not reach tool handlers as expected. Duplicate release notes will also be published. Resolve these issues before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f912a

The change is contained within the agent-kit package, and no new privileged tool or verified security regression was identified. The main remaining uncertainty is how consumers outside the reviewed package use the broadened schema contract.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed conversion path can affect tool definitions sent through three providers, while the supplied change evidence identifies only the agent-kit package and does not establish new tool privileges or cross-system propagation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Provider-facing JSON Schema conversion is separate from the agent's tool-execution boundary: schema conversion constrains request construction, while the inspected handler call receives the model-produced input directly.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The converter rejects an unsupported schema rather than supplying an unconstrained substitute to a provider.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — For privileged tool handlers, validate model-produced arguments against the tool's input schema at execution time; provider-facing JSON Schema and compile-time inference should not serve as the sole input control.

Confidence Score: 3/5

[Medium risk] Adds support for multiple schema validation libraries in tool parameters.

The PR is not ready to merge because accepted Valibot tools can fail during request preparation, and handlers can receive values that do not match their declared schema output.

Findings

1.  Plain Valibot tools fail ▶
2.  Handlers receive unparsed arguments ▶

Fix with agent prompt

### Issue 1
packages/agent-kit/src/util.ts:151-156
A plain Valibot schema is now accepted as `createTool` parameters, but this converter requires `~standard.jsonSchema`, which the plain schema does not provide. When OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini prepares a request containing that tool, conversion throws and the tool never runs. Either support conversion of the accepted schema or require callers to wrap it before passing it to `createTool`.

### Issue 2
packages/agent-kit/src/tool.ts:34
The handler input is now typed as the schema’s output, but tool execution passes the model’s JSON arguments directly to the handler without calling `~standard.validate`. If a Valibot tool defines a defaulted `limit` and the model omits it, the handler receives `undefined` even though its input type promises the default. Validation, including asynchronous validation, must complete before the handler receives the output.

---

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Summary

This PR widens tool parameters to Standard Schema and routes OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini tool-schema generation through a shared converter.

• Plain Valibot schemas accepted by createTool cannot be converted by the adapters.
• Newly accepted schemas can promise parsed output to handlers, but execution does not produce that output.

inputs that return issues. Preserve the Input type’s inferred output contract so
transformed or defaulted schema values reach the handler in their declared
