feat: Add tool registration and bidirectional tool support

ochafik · claude · ochafik · commit 53ce8465a77a · 2025-12-03T00:50:52.000+01:00
This PR adds comprehensive tool support for MCP Apps, enabling apps to register their own tools and handle tool calls from the host. ## Changes ### App (Guest UI) side: - Add `registerTool()` method for registering tools with input/output schemas - Add `oncalltool` setter for handling tool call requests from host - Add `onlisttools` setter for handling tool list requests from host - Add `sendToolListChanged()` for notifying host of tool updates - Registered tools support enable/disable/update/remove operations ### AppBridge (Host) side: - Add `sendCallTool()` method for calling tools on the app - Add `sendListTools()` method for listing available app tools - Fix: Use correct ListToolsResultSchema (was ListToolsRequestSchema) ### Tests: - Add comprehensive tests for tool registration lifecycle - Add tests for input/output schema validation - Add tests for bidirectional tool call communication - Add tests for tool list change notifications - All 27 tests passing 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
