Can't we do something similar here? + +### 19:06 Response + +Yes — this is completely solvable with an annotation processor. + +The key insight: **`javax.lang.model.element.VariableElement.getSimpleName()` always returns the real parameter name at compile time**, regardless of whether `-parameters` is passed to `javac`. The `-parameters` flag only controls whether those names survive into the `.class` bytecode for runtime reflection. An annotation processor sees the source-level names unconditionally. + +### How it would work + +The processor runs at compile time, finds all `@CopilotTool`-annotated methods, and generates a metadata class (or resource) that bakes in the parameter names, types, and descriptions: + +```java +// GENERATED — do not edit +final class MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta { + static List definitions(MyTools instance) { + return List.of( + new ToolDefinition("set_current_phase", + "Sets the current phase of the agent.", + Map.of("type", "object", + "properties", Map.of("phase", Map.of("type", "string", "description", "The phase to transition to")), + "required", List.of("phase")), + invocation -> { + Phase phase = invocation.getArgumentsAs(Phase.class); + return CompletableFuture.completedFuture( + instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)); + }, null, null, null) + ); + } +} +``` + +At runtime, `ToolDefinition.fromObject(myTools)` just loads the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class — zero reflection, zero dependency on `-parameters`. + +### Precedent in the ecosystem + +| Framework | Approach | +|-----------|----------| +| **Micronaut** | Annotation processor generates all DI metadata at compile time — no runtime reflection, no `-parameters` needed | +| **Dagger 2** | Processor generates `_Factory` / `_MembersInjector` classes | +| **MapStruct** | Processor generates mapper implementations from interface method signatures | +| **Our own `@CopilotExperimental`** | Processor walks declared elements via JSR 269 | + +### Advantages over the `-parameters` fallback + +1. **No build configuration requirement** — works out of the box with any `javac` invocation. +2. **No runtime reflection** — the generated code calls the method directly. Faster, GraalVM-native-friendly, no `setAccessible` issues. +3. **Compile-time validation** — the processor can emit errors if `@Param` is missing on a parameter, if a type isn't serializable, if two tools have the same name, etc. (same as we did for `@CopilotExperimental`). +4. **Schema correctness guaranteed** — the schema is computed once from the source AST, not guessed at runtime from erased generics. + +### Trade-off vs. pure runtime reflection (langchain4j default) + +| | Annotation processor | Runtime reflection | +|---|---|---| +| Requires `-parameters`? | No | Yes (or `@P(name=...)`) | +| GraalVM native-image friendly? | Yes | Needs reflection config | +| Compile-time error checking? | Yes | Fails at runtime | +| Extra generated source files? | Yes | None | +| Works without running the processor? | No — but fails loudly at compile time | Yes (degraded) | + +So yes: we can follow the same JSR 269 pattern as `@CopilotExperimental` to eliminate the `-parameters` requirement entirely. The processor sees the real names from source, bakes them into generated code, and the runtime never needs to call `Parameter.getName()`. + + + +Want me to update the ADR to reflect this? + +### 19:07 Prompt + +Yes please. + +### 19:14 Response + +Read [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/docs/adr/adr-005-tool-definition.md#195-195), lines 195 to 220 + +Read [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/docs/adr/adr-005-tool-definition.md#218-218), lines 218 to 240 + +Replacing 15 lines with 10 lines in [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/docs/adr/adr-005-tool-definition.md) + + +``` + +``` +Done.

Resolve these **before** writing production code. + +### 3.1 — Package placement + +**Question:** Where do `@CopilotTool` and `@Param` live? + +Current SDK structure is a single module (`copilot-sdk-java`). Two options: + +| Option | Location | Trade-off | +|--------|----------|-----------| +| A | `com.github.copilot.rpc` (alongside `ToolDefinition`) | Keeps everything together but the `rpc` package is already dense (40+ classes). | +| B | New package `com.github.copilot.tool` | Cleaner separation; the `tool` package holds annotations, processor, and `ToolDefinition.fromObject()`. But `ToolDefinition` itself stays in `rpc` (it's a JSON-RPC type). | + +**Recommendation:** Option B — new `com.github.copilot.tool` package for annotations + processor + schema generation. `ToolDefinition` stays in `rpc` and gets a new static method `fromObject(Object)` that delegates to `tool` package internals. + +**Action:** Decide; update `module-info.java` exports if new package is added. + +### 3.2 — `@CopilotTool` annotation design + +**Question:** What attributes does `@CopilotTool` need? + +Based on ADR-005 and the C#/langchain4j comparisons: + +```java +@Documented +@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE) // only needed at compile time for processor +@Target(ElementType.METHOD) +@CopilotExperimental +public @interface CopilotTool { + /** Tool description (sent to the model). */ + String value(); + + /** Tool name. Defaults to method name converted to snake_case. */ + String name() default ""; + + /** Whether this tool overrides a built-in tool. */ + boolean overridesBuiltInTool() default false; + + /** Whether to skip permission checks. */ + boolean skipPermission() default false; +} +``` + +**Open questions:** + +1. Should `@CopilotTool` have `@Retention(SOURCE)` (processor-only, like Dagger) or `RUNTIME` (fallback reflection path, like langchain4j)? ADR-005 says "compile-time preferred, runtime fallback" — if we want a fallback path, we need `RUNTIME`. If we commit to processor-only, `SOURCE` is sufficient. + +2. Is `ToolDefer` (the defer config from `ToolDefinition`) needed on the annotation, or is that too niche for v1? + +**Recommendation:** Start with `RUNTIME` retention so the reflection fallback works. Defer `ToolDefer` support to a follow-up. + +### 3.3 — `@Param` annotation design + +**Question:** What attributes does `@Param` need? + +```java +@Documented +@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) +@Target(ElementType.PARAMETER) +public @interface Param { + /** Parameter description (sent to the model). */ + String value() default ""; + + /** Parameter name override. Defaults to the actual parameter name. */ + String name() default ""; + + /** Whether this parameter is required. Default true. */ + boolean required() default true; +} +``` + +**Open question:** LangChain4J's `@P` also has `defaultValue()`. Do we need that? Probably not for v1 — the model doesn't use default values; it's for documentation. + +### 3.4 — Type-to-JSON-Schema mapping + +**Question:** What Java types do we need to map to JSON Schema, and how? + +Minimum viable set (from langchain4j's `JsonSchemaElementUtils`): + +| Java type | JSON Schema | +|-----------|-------------| +| `String` | `{"type": "string"}` | +| `int`, `Integer`, `long`, `Long` | `{"type": "integer"}` | +| `double`, `Double`, `float`, `Float` | `{"type": "number"}` | +| `boolean`, `Boolean` | `{"type": "boolean"}` | +| `enum` types | `{"type": "string", "enum": ["V1", "V2", ...]}` | +| `List`, `Collection` | `{"type": "array", "items": }` | +| `Map` | `{"type": "object"}` (opaque — no inner schema) | +| Records / POJOs | `{"type": "object", "properties": {...}, "required": [...]}` | + +**Key design decision:** The annotation processor must generate this schema at compile time from `javax.lang.model` types (`TypeMirror`, `DeclaredType`, etc.), NOT from `java.lang.reflect` types. This is different from langchain4j which does it at runtime. + +**Spike needed:** Write a small proof-of-concept that maps `TypeMirror` → JSON Schema `Map` literal in generated source code. The tricky cases are: +- Enum constants (processor can see them via `ElementKind.ENUM_CONSTANT`) +- Generic type arguments on `List` (processor sees them via `DeclaredType.getTypeArguments()`) +- Recursive/nested records (need `$defs` or just go one level deep for v1) + +**Recommendation:** Start with the flat types (primitives, String, enums) and `List`. Defer nested records and polymorphic types to a follow-up. + +### 3.5 — Generated code shape + +**Question:** What exactly does the processor generate? + +ADR-005 proposes: + +```java +// GENERATED — do not edit +final class MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta { + static List definitions(MyTools instance) { + return List.of( + new ToolDefinition("set_current_phase", "Sets the current phase", + Map.of("type", "object", + "properties", Map.of("phase", Map.of("type", "string", + "description", "The phase to transition to")), + "required", List.of("phase")), + invocation -> { + String phase = (String) invocation.getArguments().get("phase"); + return CompletableFuture.completedFuture( + instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)); + }, null, null, null) + ); + } +} +``` + +**Open questions:** + +1. **Method invocation in generated code:** The generated lambda calls `instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)` directly — no reflection at runtime. But this requires the method to be accessible (not private). What access levels do we support? langchain4j uses `method.setAccessible(true)` at runtime. We'd need to either: + - Require `public` or package-private methods, OR + - Generate a helper that uses `MethodHandles.Lookup` to access private methods (complex), OR + - Just require non-private. + + **Recommendation:** Require at least package-private. The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class is in the same package, so package-private and above work. Emit a compile error for `private` methods annotated with `@CopilotTool`. + +2. **Return type handling:** What does the generated code do with the method's return value? + + | Return type | Generated behavior | + |-------------|-------------------| + | `String` | Wrap in `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(result)` | + | `CompletableFuture` | Use as-is (native async) | + | `CompletableFuture` | `.thenApply(objectMapper::writeValueAsString)` | + | `void` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Success")` | + | Other `T` | JSON-serialize via Jackson `ObjectMapper` | + + **Recommendation:** Support `String`, `void`, `CompletableFuture`, and `CompletableFuture` for v1. Other return types get JSON-serialized (since Jackson is already a dependency). + +3. **Argument deserialization in generated code:** How does the generated lambda extract and coerce arguments? + + For simple types, the generated code can cast directly from the `Map` returned by `invocation.getArguments()`: + ```java + String city = (String) invocation.getArguments().get("city"); + int count = ((Number) invocation.getArguments().get("count")).intValue(); + ``` + + For complex types (records, enums), use `invocation.getArgumentsAs()` or Jackson's `ObjectMapper.convertValue()`: + ```java + Phase phase = objectMapper.convertValue(invocation.getArguments().get("phase"), Phase.class); + ``` + + **Recommendation:** Generate direct casts for primitives/String, and `ObjectMapper.convertValue()` for enums, records, and complex types. The `ObjectMapper` instance can come from a static field in the generated class. + +### 3.6 — `ToolDefinition.fromObject(Object)` registration API + +**Question:** How does the user get from "an object with `@CopilotTool` methods" to a `List`? + +```java +// Primary API — loads generated $$CopilotToolMeta class +List tools = ToolDefinition.fromObject(myToolsInstance); + +// Variant: from class (for static tools) +List tools = ToolDefinition.fromClass(MyTools.class); +``` + +**Implementation:** + +```java +public static List fromObject(Object instance) { + Class clazz = instance.getClass(); + String metaClassName = clazz.getName() + "$$CopilotToolMeta"; + try { + Class metaClass = Class.forName(metaClassName); + Method defs = metaClass.getMethod("definitions", clazz); + return (List) defs.invoke(null, instance); + } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { + // Fallback: runtime reflection (if we support it) + return fromObjectReflective(instance); + } +} +``` + +**Open question:** Do we want the reflection fallback? It's nice for users who don't run the processor (e.g., scripting, prototyping), but it adds code and the `-parameters` concern. + +**Recommendation:** Implement the reflection fallback but mark it `@CopilotExperimental` separately. The primary path is the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta`. + +### 3.7 — `module-info.java` impact + +The SDK uses JPMS. The processor generates classes into the user's module, not the SDK's. But `fromObject()` uses `Class.forName()` which needs the generated class to be accessible. + +**Question:** Does the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class in the user's module need to be exported for `fromObject()` to find it? + +**Answer:** No. `Class.forName()` with the caller's classloader works within the same module. And in the typical unnamed-module (classpath) case, everything is accessible. If the user has a named module, the generated class is in the same package as their tools class, so it's accessible. + +**Action:** Verify this works in a simple named-module test. + +### 3.8 — Processor registration + +**Question:** How is the new `@CopilotTool` processor registered alongside `CopilotExperimentalProcessor`? + +The existing `META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor` lists `CopilotExperimentalProcessor`. Add the new processor to the same file: + +``` +com.github.copilot.CopilotExperimentalProcessor +com.github.copilot.tool.CopilotToolProcessor +``` + +And in `module-info.java`: +```java +provides javax.annotation.processing.Processor + with CopilotExperimentalProcessor, CopilotToolProcessor; +``` + +**No issues expected here** — this is standard JSR 269 multi-processor registration. + +--- + +## Phase 4 — Implementation (the build order) + +After Phase 3 questions are resolved, implement in this order.

As such, it already has established user expectations for type mappings. The reasonable answer to question 3.4 is: all of the ones mapped elsewhere in the API. You suggested a minimum viable set.

But this requires the method to be accessible (not private). What access levels do we support? langchain4j uses `method.setAccessible(true)` at runtime. We'd need to either: +> - Require `public` or package-private methods, OR +> - Generate a helper that uses `MethodHandles.Lookup` to access private methods (complex), OR +> - Just require non-private. + +> 2. **Return type handling:** What does the generated code do with the method's return value? + +> 3. **Argument deserialization in generated code:** How does the generated lambda extract and coerce arguments? + +Does the known-passing test code even ask these questions? Does it answer them? How? + +### 16:18 Response + +Updated todo list + +Read [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/LowLevelToolDefinitionIT.java) + +The known-passing test **doesn't ask** these questions — it **bypasses** them entirely. Here's why: + +--- + +**Q1 (Access levels):** Not applicable. The test uses inline lambdas, not method references: + +```java +invocation -> { + currentPhase = args.phase(); + return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Phase set to " + currentPhase); +} +``` + +There's no method to invoke — the tool logic IS the lambda. The access-level question only arises when a processor needs to generate code that calls `instance.someMethod()`. + +--- + +**Q2 (Return type handling):** Already resolved by fiat. Every handler explicitly returns `CompletableFuture`: + +```java +return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Phase set to " + currentPhase); +return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Found: item_alpha, item_beta"); +return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("CUSTOM_GREP: " + query); +``` + +The low-level API's handler type signature forces the user to produce `CompletableFuture` (or `Object`). No wrapping, no serialization — that's the user's problem. + +--- + +**Q3 (Argument deserialization):** Answered — it shows **both** patterns that the generated code would need: + +| Pattern | Test usage | +|---------|-----------| +| Jackson deserialization to a record | `invocation.getArgumentsAs(PhaseArgs.class)` for `setPhaseTool` | +| Direct map access + cast | `(String) invocation.getArguments().get("keyword")` for `searchTool` and `grepOverrideTool` | + +--- + +**Summary:** The low-level test is the **specification** of what the generated code must emit — it shows the exact lambdas the processor must synthesize. The test proves the wire format works. The three questions from 3.5 are about automating what the test author does manually: + +1. The processor must generate `instance.method()` calls → needs at least package-private access +2. The processor must wrap arbitrary return types into `CompletableFuture` → needs the return-type table +3. The processor must generate either `getArgumentsAs(Record.class)` or `getArguments().get("name")` + cast → depending on parameter complexity + +The test doesn't need to answer these questions because the human already made all three decisions by hand-writing the lambdas. + +### 16:19 Prompt + +I have been going through the plan `copilot-sdk/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/dd-3018003-ignorance-reduction-for-implementation-plan.md` and filling in **Resolution** for each question. Absorb what we learned and output what I should record as the **Resolution** for question 3.5. + +### 16:21 Response + +Updated todo list + +**Resolution:** + +The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class produces lambdas identical to what `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT` writes by hand.

Should `@CopilotTool` have `@Retention(SOURCE)` (processor-only, like Dagger) or `RUNTIME` (fallback reflection path, like langchain4j)? ADR-005 says "compile-time preferred, runtime fallback" — if we want a fallback path, we need `RUNTIME`. If we commit to processor-only, `SOURCE` is sufficient. - -2. Is `ToolDefer` (the defer config from `ToolDefinition`) needed on the annotation, or is that too niche for v1? - -**Recommendation:** Start with `RUNTIME` retention so the reflection fallback works.

This is different from langchain4j which does it at runtime. - -**Spike needed:** Write a small proof-of-concept that maps `TypeMirror` → JSON Schema `Map` literal in generated source code. The tricky cases are: -- Enum constants (processor can see them via `ElementKind.ENUM_CONSTANT`) -- Generic type arguments on `List` (processor sees them via `DeclaredType.getTypeArguments()`) -- Recursive/nested records (need `$defs` or just go one level deep for v1) - -**Recommendation:** Start with the flat types (primitives, String, enums) and `List`. Defer nested records and polymorphic types to a follow-up. - -**Resolution:** - -Here's the **maximum viable set** derived from every type actually used across `com.github.copilot.rpc` and `com.github.copilot.generated.rpc`: - -| Java type | JSON Schema | SDK usage examples | -|-----------|-------------|-------------------| -| `String` | `{"type": "string"}` | Pervasive (IDs, names, paths, messages) | -| `int`, `Integer` | `{"type": "integer"}` | `ProviderConfig`, `ModelLimits`, `McpServerConfig` | -| `long`, `Long` | `{"type": "integer"}` | Timestamps in hook inputs, JSON-RPC IDs | -| `double`, `Double` | `{"type": "number"}` | `ModelBilling.multiplier`, `InfiniteSessionConfig` thresholds | -| `float`, `Float` | `{"type": "number"}` | Not used in SDK today, but natural complement | -| `boolean`, `Boolean` | `{"type": "boolean"}` | Extensively in `SessionConfig`, hook outputs, options | -| `String[]` | `{"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}` | `CopilotClientOptions.cliArgs` | -| `enum` types | `{"type": "string", "enum": ["V1", ...]}` | 92 enums (`ToolDefer`, `AgentMode`, 85 generated) | -| `UUID` | `{"type": "string", "format": "uuid"}` | Generated record ID fields | -| `OffsetDateTime` | `{"type": "string", "format": "date-time"}` | Generated record timestamp fields | -| `JsonNode` | `{}` (any) | `ToolInvocation.argumentsNode`, hook args/results | -| `Object` | `{}` (any) | `ToolDefinition.parameters`, `JsonRpcRequest.params` | -| `List`, `Collection` | `{"type": "array", "items": }` | 50+ distinct `T` across the API | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "string"}}` | `ProviderConfig.headers`, env maps | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "boolean"}}` | Generated records | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "integer"}}` | Generated records | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object"}` (opaque) | `ToolInvocation.getArguments()`, telemetry, extensionData | -| `Map` (typed `T`) | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": }` | `Map`, `Map`, etc. | -| `Map>` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}}` | Generated records | -| Records / POJOs | `{"type": "object", "properties": {...}, "required": [...]}` | ~690 types (26 handwritten records, ~65 POJOs, ~600 generated) | -| Sealed / `@JsonSubTypes` | `{"oneOf": [...]}` with discriminator | `McpServerConfig`, `MessageAttachment`, `SlashCommandInvocationResult` | -| `Optional` | Schema of `T`, not in `required` array | `Optional` in `SessionConfig` | -| `OptionalInt` | `{"type": "integer"}`, not in `required` | `CopilotClientOptions.getSessionIdleTimeoutSeconds()` | -| `OptionalDouble` | `{"type": "number"}`, not in `required` | `ModelBilling.getMultiplierOpt()` | - -**Types intentionally excluded** (not sensible as tool parameter types): - -| Java type | Reason | -|-----------|--------| -| `CompletableFuture` | Return type only, not a parameter type | -| `Consumer`, `Supplier`, `Function`, `Executor` | Callback/functional types, not serializable | -| `ObjectMapper`, `TypeReference` | Infrastructure, not data | - -The minimum viable set from the plan covers 8 rows. This maximum viable set covers **23 rows** — adding `String[]`, `UUID`, `OffsetDateTime`, `JsonNode`/`Object` (any), typed `Map` variants, sealed/polymorphic types, and `Optional` variants. These all have established Jackson serialization semantics in the existing SDK. - -### 3.5 — Generated code shape - -**Question:** What exactly does the processor generate? - -ADR-005 proposes: - -```java -// GENERATED — do not edit -final class MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta { - static List definitions(MyTools instance) { - return List.of( - new ToolDefinition("set_current_phase", "Sets the current phase", - Map.of("type", "object", - "properties", Map.of("phase", Map.of("type", "string", - "description", "The phase to transition to")), - "required", List.of("phase")), - invocation -> { - String phase = (String) invocation.getArguments().get("phase"); - return CompletableFuture.completedFuture( - instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)); - }, null, null, null) - ); - } -} -``` - -**Open questions:** - -1. **Method invocation in generated code:** The generated lambda calls `instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)` directly — no reflection at runtime. But this requires the method to be accessible (not private). What access levels do we support? langchain4j uses `method.setAccessible(true)` at runtime. We'd need to either: - - Require `public` or package-private methods, OR - - Generate a helper that uses `MethodHandles.Lookup` to access private methods (complex), OR - - Just require non-private. - - **Recommendation:** Require at least package-private. The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class is in the same package, so package-private and above work. Emit a compile error for `private` methods annotated with `@CopilotTool`. - -2. **Return type handling:** What does the generated code do with the method's return value? - - | Return type | Generated behavior | - |-------------|-------------------| - | `String` | Wrap in `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(result)` | - | `CompletableFuture` | Use as-is (native async) | - | `CompletableFuture` | `.thenApply(objectMapper::writeValueAsString)` | - | `void` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Success")` | - | Other `T` | JSON-serialize via Jackson `ObjectMapper` | - - **Recommendation:** Support `String`, `void`, `CompletableFuture`, and `CompletableFuture` for v1. Other return types get JSON-serialized (since Jackson is already a dependency). - -3. **Argument deserialization in generated code:** How does the generated lambda extract and coerce arguments? - - For simple types, the generated code can cast directly from the `Map` returned by `invocation.getArguments()`: - ```java - String city = (String) invocation.getArguments().get("city"); - int count = ((Number) invocation.getArguments().get("count")).intValue(); - ``` - - For complex types (records, enums), use `invocation.getArgumentsAs()` or Jackson's `ObjectMapper.convertValue()`: - ```java - Phase phase = objectMapper.convertValue(invocation.getArguments().get("phase"), Phase.class); - ``` - - **Recommendation:** Generate direct casts for primitives/String, and `ObjectMapper.convertValue()` for enums, records, and complex types. The `ObjectMapper` instance can come from a static field in the generated class. - -**Resolution:** - -The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class produces lambdas identical to what `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT` writes by hand. Decisions: - -1. **Access levels:** Require at least package-private. The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` lives in the same package as the user's class, so package-private and above work without reflection. Emit a compile error for `private` methods annotated with `@CopilotTool`. - -2. **Return type handling:** - - | Return type | Generated code | - |-------------|----------------| - | `String` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(instance.method(...))` | - | `CompletableFuture` | `instance.method(...)` (use as-is) | - | `void` | `instance.method(...); return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Success")` | - | `CompletableFuture` (non-String) | `instance.method(...).thenApply(objectMapper::writeValueAsString)` | - | Other `T` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(instance.method(...)))` | - -3. **Argument deserialization:** Follow the two patterns proven in `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT`: - - **Simple types** (`String`, primitives, boxed): generate direct cast from `invocation.getArguments().get("name")` (e.g., `(String) args.get("city")`, `((Number) args.get("count")).intValue()`). - - **Complex types** (enums, records, POJOs): generate `objectMapper.convertValue(invocation.getArguments().get("name"), TargetType.class)`. - - **Single-record-parameter shortcut:** When a method has exactly one parameter that is a record/POJO (matching the full argument set), generate `invocation.getArgumentsAs(RecordType.class)` — the same pattern `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT.setPhaseTool` uses. - - The `ObjectMapper` instance: use a `private static final` field in the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class, initialized from `com.github.copilot.rpc.RpcMapper.INSTANCE` (already exists in the SDK). - -### 3.6 — `ToolDefinition.fromObject(Object)` registration API - -**Question:** How does the user get from "an object with `@CopilotTool` methods" to a `List`? - -```java -// Primary API — loads generated $$CopilotToolMeta class -List tools = ToolDefinition.fromObject(myToolsInstance); - -// Variant: from class (for static tools) -List tools = ToolDefinition.fromClass(MyTools.class); -``` - -**Implementation:** - -```java -public static List fromObject(Object instance) { - Class clazz = instance.getClass(); - String metaClassName = clazz.getName() + "$$CopilotToolMeta"; - try { - Class metaClass = Class.forName(metaClassName); - Method defs = metaClass.getMethod("definitions", clazz); - return (List) defs.invoke(null, instance); - } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { - // Fallback: runtime reflection (if we support it) - return fromObjectReflective(instance); - } -} -``` - -**Open question:** Do we want the reflection fallback? It's nice for users who don't run the processor (e.g., scripting, prototyping), but it adds code and the `-parameters` concern. - -**Recommendation:** Implement the reflection fallback but mark it `@CopilotExperimental` separately. The primary path is the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta`. - -**Resolution** we only want the processor approach. - -### 3.7 — `module-info.java` impact - -The SDK uses JPMS. The processor generates classes into the user's module, not the SDK's. But `fromObject()` uses `Class.forName()` which needs the generated class to be accessible. - -**Question:** Does the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class in the user's module need to be exported for `fromObject()` to find it? - -**Answer:** No. `Class.forName()` with the caller's classloader works within the same module. And in the typical unnamed-module (classpath) case, everything is accessible. If the user has a named module, the generated class is in the same package as their tools class, so it's accessible. - -**Action:** Verify this works in a simple named-module test. - - - -### 3.8 — Processor registration - -**Question:** How is the new `@CopilotTool` processor registered alongside `CopilotExperimentalProcessor`? - -The existing `META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor` lists `CopilotExperimentalProcessor`. Add the new processor to the same file: - -``` -com.github.copilot.CopilotExperimentalProcessor -com.github.copilot.tool.CopilotToolProcessor -``` - -And in `module-info.java`: -```java -provides javax.annotation.processing.Processor - with CopilotExperimentalProcessor, CopilotToolProcessor; -``` - -**No issues expected here** — this is standard JSR 269 multi-processor registration. - ---- - -## Phase 4 — Implementation (the build order) - -After Phase 3 questions are resolved, implement in this order.

Overriding them already requires explicit `name="grep"`, so no impact there. | + +## Recommendation + +Keep `snake_case` as the **default** wire name derivation. The rationale is protocol-level consistency, not Java style: + +- The Java **method** stays camelCase (`setCurrentPhase`) — idiomatic Java. +- The **tool name** sent to the model is `set_current_phase` — idiomatic function-calling protocol. +- Users can always override with `@CopilotTool(name="whateverTheyWant")`. + +This is the same pattern Jackson uses: Java fields are camelCase, but `@JsonProperty` / `PropertyNamingStrategies` controls the wire format.

Remove the snake_case converter from the processor (4.3). +2. Update the test in 4.3 that verifies `setCurrentPhase` → `set_current_phase`. +3.

Add tests for all three. * fix: add missing OptionalLong mapping in generateDeclaredTypeSchema Address review comment r3461777459: OptionalLong was handled in isOptionalType/unwrapOptional but missing from generateDeclaredTypeSchema, causing it to fall through to POJO introspection when used as a direct return type. Add the mapping and tests for OptionalInt, OptionalLong, and OptionalDouble. * fix: correct misleading @JsonSubTypes comment on sealed interface handling Address review comment r3461777579: the implementation uses getPermittedSubclasses() (Java sealed types), not Jackson annotations. * test: add sealed interface test for oneOf schema generation Address review comment r3461777685: the processor had special handling for TestSealed* types but no test exercised generateSealedSchema(). Add a test with a sealed interface (TestSealedShape) and two record permits (Circle, Rect) verifying the oneOf schema output. * test: add >10-field record test proving Map.ofEntries compiles Address review comment r3461777706: add a test with an 11-component record that verifies the generated Map.ofEntries(...) expression actually compiles, proving the Map.of 10-entry limit fix works end-to-end. --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ed Burns --- java/mvnw | 0 .../github/copilot/tool/SchemaGenerator.java | 384 ++++++++++ .../copilot/tool/SchemaGeneratorTest.java | 700 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 1084 insertions(+) mode change 100644 => 100755 java/mvnw create mode 100644 java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/SchemaGenerator.java create mode 100644 java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/tool/SchemaGeneratorTest.java diff --git a/java/mvnw b/java/mvnw old mode 100644 new mode 100755 diff --git a/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/SchemaGenerator.java b/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/SchemaGenerator.java new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f2c92df85a --- /dev/null +++ b/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/SchemaGenerator.java @@ -0,0 +1,384 @@ +/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + * Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

So it uses a **compilation-testing** pattern: + +1. **`InMemorySource`** — wraps a Java source `String` as a `SimpleJavaFileObject`, so `javac` can compile it without writing source files to disk. + +2. **`SchemaCapturingProcessor`** — a custom annotation processor (`@SupportedAnnotationTypes("*")`) that runs during compilation. Inside `process()`, it: + - Scans each root element (class/record/enum/interface) for methods whose name starts with `schemaTarget` — then calls `generator.generateSchemaSource()` on that method's **return type**, recording `"methodName=schemaOutput"` in a static list. + - For methods named `parametersTarget`, calls `generator.generateParametersSchemaSource()` on the method's parameter list. + - For root types named `TestRecord*`, `TestEnum*`, or `TestSealed*`, generates schema for the type itself (records, enums, sealed interfaces). + +3. **`compileAndCapture()`** / **`compileAndCaptureParams()`** — helper methods that: + - Create an in-memory compilation unit from the source string + - Invoke `JavaCompiler.getTask()` with a `StandardJavaFileManager` configured to write `.class` output to `target/test-schema-classes/` + - Register `SchemaCapturingProcessor` + - Call `task.call()` to trigger compilation → annotation processing → schema capture + - Return the captured schema strings + +## What the 24 tests assert + +Each test provides a tiny Java source snippet with a strategically typed method, compiles it, and asserts that `SchemaGenerator` produces the exact expected `Map.of(...)` string: + +| Category | Tests | Example assertion | +|---|---|---| +| **Primitives & boxed** | `int`, `long`, `double`, `float`, `boolean` + `Integer`, `Boolean` | `int` → `Map.of("type", "integer")` | +| **String** | `stringType` | → `Map.of("type", "string")` | +| **Arrays** | `stringArrayType` | `String[]` → `Map.of("type", "array", "items", Map.of("type", "string"))` | +| **Collections** | `listOfStringType` | `List` → same as array of string | +| **Maps** | `mapStringString`, `mapStringObject`, `mapStringBoolean`, `mapStringLong` | `Map` → `Map.of("type", "object", "additionalProperties", ...)` with typed values, or just `"object"` for `Object` values | +| **Optional** | `optionalStringType` | `Optional` → unwraps to `Map.of("type", "string")` | +| **Date/UUID** | `uuidType`, `offsetDateTimeType` | → `"string"` with `"format"` (`"uuid"` / `"date-time"`) | +| **Enums** | `enumType` | `enum {RED, GREEN, BLUE}` → `Map.of("type", "string", "enum", List.of("RED", "GREEN", "BLUE"))` | +| **Records** | `recordType`, `recordWithOptionalField` | Record components → `"object"` with `"properties"` and `"required"` (optional fields excluded from required) | +| **Nested types** | `nestedMapListType` | `Map>` → nested `additionalProperties` with array schema | +| **Object fallback** | `objectType` | `Object` → `Map.of()` (empty = any) | +| **Parameters** | `parametersSchema` | Multi-param method → full `"type": "object"` with properties and required list | +| **Source validity** | `generatedSourceIsValidJava` | Takes generated schema expressions, embeds them in a new Java class, and **re-compiles** to prove they are syntactically valid Java | + +## How correctness is asserted + +- **Exact string matching** (`assertContainsSchema`): most tests assert the captured schema string equals `"methodName=" + expectedMapLiteral` exactly. +- **Substring matching** (`parametersSchema`): the parameters test uses `assertTrue(schema.contains(...))` for each property and the required list, since parameter ordering may vary. +- **Compilation round-trip** (`generatedSourceIsValidJava`): the strongest assertion — it proves the generated `Map.of(...)` expressions are not just correct strings but actually **compilable Java source code**, by embedding them as variable initializers in a new class and compiling that class. + +### 13:44 Prompt + +Does the test fail if the compilation fails? + +### 13:44 Response + +Updated todo list + +Yes. Every compilation path asserts success: + +- **`compileAndCapture()`** (line ~196): `assertTrue(success, "Compilation failed: " + diagnostics.getDiagnostics())` — fails the test with the compiler diagnostics if compilation doesn't succeed. (It also tries a fallback without `--add-modules` first, but if that also fails, the assertion fires.) + +- **`compileAndCaptureParams()`** (line ~213): same `assertTrue(success, ...)` pattern. + +- **`generatedSourceIsValidJava()`** (line ~505): `assertTrue(success, "Generated schema source code is not valid Java: " + diagnostics.getDiagnostics() + "\nSource:\n" + validationSource)` — additionally includes the generated source in the failure message for debugging. + +- **`createFileManager()`** (line ~142): if the file manager can't be created (e.g., `CLASS_OUTPUT_DIR` can't be created), the `IOException` is caught and `fail(...)` is called. + +So a compilation failure at any stage — the initial source compilation, the module-option fallback retry, or the round-trip re-compilation of generated schema expressions — will fail the test with a diagnostic message. + +### 13:44 Prompt + +Would it make sense to add Jackson serialize/deserialize of the types to the test? + +### 13:46 Response + +Updated todo list + +No, it wouldn't add meaningful value here. A few reasons: + +1. **Wrong abstraction layer.** `SchemaGenerator` produces **Java source code strings** (`Map.of(...)` literals), not runtime objects. To test Jackson serialization you'd need to compile the source → execute it → get a `Map` → serialize with Jackson → deserialize → assert. At that point you're testing `Map.of()` and Jackson, not `SchemaGenerator`. + +2. **The existing tests already cover structure correctness.** The exact string equality assertions verify the precise schema structure (keys, nesting, required lists). The `generatedSourceIsValidJava` test proves the expressions are compilable. Together, these guarantee the output is correct. + +3. **`SchemaGenerator` has no Jackson dependency.** It uses only `javax.lang.model` APIs. Adding Jackson to its test would introduce a coupling that doesn't exist in production code. + +4. **JSON Schema wire-format validity belongs at the integration level.** When the annotation processor output is consumed by the Copilot CLI over JSON-RPC, that's where schema correctness at the JSON level matters — and that's what the E2E tests (with the replay proxy) cover. + +Where Jackson testing *would* make sense is in the **annotation processor** that consumes `SchemaGenerator` — verifying that the generated `@CopilotTool` adapter class produces a tool definition that serializes to valid JSON matching the Copilot protocol. That's a different test, at a higher layer. + +### 13:46 Prompt + +Find the right place in the description of https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/issues/1760 to insert guidance so the agent assigned that issue adds the relevant jackson serialize/deserialize tests. + +### 13:49 Response + +Updated todo list + +You're right — your instructions say to use `gh` CLI for GitHub interactions.

The sandbox allows normal `.git/` directories within the workspace, but a worktree's external reference gets blocked. + +For Maven, it should actually work sandboxed now — the `./mvnw` wrapper is in-workspace, and the sandbox allows read access to JDK and `~/.m2` as common developer tool paths. The initial `permission denied` was just a missing `chmod +x`, not a sandbox issue. + +Let me stop over-requesting unsandboxed execution.

Here's why not specifying `--release` is the right call: + +1. **The test snippets are release-agnostic.** They use basic types (`String`, `List`, `Map`, records, enums) that are identical at the `javax.lang.model` level regardless of whether the JDK is 17 or 25.

A `List` produces the same `DeclaredType` on release 17 and 25. + +4. **`compileAndCapture()` also doesn't use `--release`.** There's no inconsistency within the test class — the comment's premise ("consistent with the rest of the compilation-testing setup") doesn't hold since neither method uses it. + +I'd decline this comment with a short explanation that the tests run on both JDK 17 and 25, the snippets are release-agnostic, and omitting `--release` lets the tests naturally validate on whichever JDK is running.

The primary protection is mapping NONE to a null field reference before constructing ToolDefinition (responsibility of the annotation processor and ToolDefinition.fromObject()). * fix(java): address three review comments Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * Revert "Remove prompts, pre-merge" This reverts commit a4fe9b270e0a796a2510d37ded05581d13c8c746. --------- Co-authored-by: Ed Burns Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * Initial plan * feat(java): add SchemaGenerator compile-time type-to-JSON-Schema utility (#1766) * Initial plan * feat(java): add SchemaGenerator compile-time type-to-JSON-Schema utility Creates SchemaGenerator.java that maps javax.lang.model TypeMirror instances to JSON Schema source code literals (Map.of(...) expressions). Implements all 24 type mappings from the specification including: - Primitives and boxed types (int/Integer, long/Long, etc.) - String, UUID, OffsetDateTime - Collections (List, Collection, Set) - Maps (Map with typed values) - Arrays (String[]) - Enums (with constant enumeration) - Records and POJOs (with properties/required) - Optional, OptionalInt, OptionalDouble - Sealed interfaces (oneOf) - JsonNode and Object (any) Also adds SchemaGeneratorTest using compilation-testing approach with javax.tools.JavaCompiler to exercise the generator at compile time. Closes github/copilot-sdk#1759 * fix: address code review - remove unused param, handle all primitive types * fix(java): correct SimpleJavaFileObject override - getCharContent not getContent Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * spotless * Remove .class files generated by test * spotless * fix: use Map.ofEntries for properties to avoid Map.of 10-entry limit Address review comment r3461777483: Map.of() only supports up to 10 key-value pairs. Switch properties maps in SchemaGenerator to use Map.ofEntries(Map.entry(...), ...) so records/POJOs/methods with >10 fields won't cause generated source compilation failures. Update SchemaGeneratorTest expectations to match the new format. * fix: add missing Byte/Short/Character boxed type mappings Address review comment r3461777428: Byte and Short now map to "integer", Character maps to "string", matching their primitive equivalents. Add tests for all three. * fix: add missing OptionalLong mapping in generateDeclaredTypeSchema Address review comment r3461777459: OptionalLong was handled in isOptionalType/unwrapOptional but missing from generateDeclaredTypeSchema, causing it to fall through to POJO introspection when used as a direct return type. Add the mapping and tests for OptionalInt, OptionalLong, and OptionalDouble. * fix: correct misleading @JsonSubTypes comment on sealed interface handling Address review comment r3461777579: the implementation uses getPermittedSubclasses() (Java sealed types), not Jackson annotations. * test: add sealed interface test for oneOf schema generation Address review comment r3461777685: the processor had special handling for TestSealed* types but no test exercised generateSealedSchema(). Add a test with a sealed interface (TestSealedShape) and two record permits (Circle, Rect) verifying the oneOf schema output. * test: add >10-field record test proving Map.ofEntries compiles Address review comment r3461777706: add a test with an 11-component record that verifies the generated Map.ofEntries(...) expression actually compiles, proving the Map.of 10-entry limit fix works end-to-end. --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ed Burns * WIP 4.3 * Initial plan * feat(java): Add CopilotToolProcessor annotation processor (task 4.3) Implements JSR 269 annotation processor that finds @CopilotTool-annotated methods and generates $$CopilotToolMeta companion classes containing tool definitions, JSON Schema, and invocation lambdas. Key features: - snake_case tool name conversion from camelCase method names - Access level enforcement (compile error for private methods) - Return type handling (String, void, CompletableFuture, etc.) - Argument deserialization (direct cast for primitives/String, convertValue for complex) - @Param description and defaultValue support in schema - ToolDefer support (NONE maps to null/regular create) - overridesBuiltInTool and skipPermission support Also includes comprehensive test suite using javax.tools.JavaCompiler programmatic compilation. Closes github/copilot-sdk#1760 Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: Address code review feedback - Use fully qualified type names in generated code for type safety - Fix Files.walk() resource leak in test with try-with-resources - Rename exception variables for clarity Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: Fix Spotless formatting and test classpath for JDK 17 - Remove unused Collections import - Reformat boolean expressions: && at start of continuation lines - Reformat ternary: ? at start of continuation line - Reformat .replace() chain with one call per line - Fix hasErrorContaining stream method chain formatting - Fix resolveClasspath() to use System.getProperty("java.class.path") first, ensuring Jackson and all test deps are available when compiling generated $$CopilotToolMeta code * fix: Fix remaining Spotless violations and test classpath resolution - Merge propertyEntries.add() onto one line per formatter requirement - Fix sb.append() chain formatting to match Eclipse formatter output - Revert escapeJava to original line-breaking style (formatter preference) - Fix resolveClasspath() to combine system classpath with CodeSource paths from key classes (SDK, Jackson, RPC types) ensuring all dependencies are available for javac in the annotation processor test * fix: Add jackson-core and jackson-annotations to test classpath The generated 6342CopilotToolMeta code uses ObjectMapper which requires jackson-core (Versioned, JsonFactory) and jackson-annotations at compile time. Add these transitive dependencies to the key classes list so their CodeSource paths are included in the javac classpath. * fix: Fix Spotless formatting for keyClasses array initializer * fix(java): Pass ObjectMapper as parameter in generated $$CopilotToolMeta contract Address PR #1777 review comment (r3463252393): the generated $$CopilotToolMeta class was using `new ObjectMapper()`, which lacks the SDK Jackson configuration (JavaTimeModule, NON_NULL inclusion, lenient unknown-properties). This would break tool argument coercion and return serialization at runtime for java.time.* and other types. Instead of embedding a bare or configured ObjectMapper in the generated code, change the generated `definitions()` method signature from: definitions(MyTools instance) to: definitions(MyTools instance, ObjectMapper mapper) This establishes an internal contract: the caller (the future ToolDefinition.fromObject() in issue #1761) is responsible for supplying a properly configured mapper via reflective invocation. The generated code uses `mapper` for all convertValue() and writeValueAsString() calls. Benefits: - No DRY violation (mapper config stays canonical in JsonRpcClient) - No new public API exposing ObjectMapper - No package-visibility workarounds - Clean separation: generated code declares its needs, caller supplies Issue #1761 description has been updated to document this contract so the implementing agent knows to pass ObjectMapper as the second argument when reflectively invoking definitions(). * fix(java): restrict single-param shortcut to records only Address review comment on PR #1777: the isRecordOrPojo heuristic incorrectly triggered for JDK container types (List, Map, etc.) when used as a single tool parameter. For example, a tool with parameter List would attempt to deserialize the entire arguments object as a List, failing at runtime. Replace the heuristic with a deterministic check: only Java records qualify for the getArgumentsAs() shortcut. Records are immutable data carriers with compiler-guaranteed component lists, making them safe for whole-object deserialization. POJOs and all other class types now fall through to the per-field extraction path, which always works correctly. Removed isSimpleType() helper which was only used by the old heuristic. * fix(java): emit typed default values in JSON Schema Address review comment on PR #1777: @Param(defaultValue=...) was always emitted as a JSON string in the generated schema's 'default' field, making numeric and boolean defaults the wrong type (e.g., "10" instead of 10, "true" instead of true). Changes: - withMeta helper: String defaultValue -> Object defaultValue - buildPropertySchema: reuse generateDefaultLiteral() to emit typed Java literals (int, boolean, etc.) instead of always quoting - Add test emitsTypedDefaultValuesInSchema verifying int -> 10, boolean -> true, String -> "hello" in generated code * fix(java): fix double 61059CopilotToolMeta suffix in test helper Address review comment on PR #1777: getGeneratedSource() fallback search appended 61059CopilotToolMeta to a simpleName that already contained it, producing MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta$$CopilotToolMeta. Simplify to just match on 'class '. * fix(java): use record constructor for independent flag combination Address SDK Consistency Review on PR #1777: the if/else if chain in writeToolDefinition silently dropped combined annotation flags (e.g., overridesBuiltInTool + skipPermission + defer). All other SDKs support combining these flags simultaneously. Replace the factory method dispatch with a direct call to the ToolDefinition record constructor, which accepts all seven fields independently. Each flag is now emitted as its own argument: Boolean.TRUE or null for overridesBuiltInTool/skipPermission, ToolDefer.X or null for defer. Add test generatesCombinedFlags verifying all three flags appear in generated code when set together. --------- Signed-off-by: Ed Burns Co-authored-by: Ed Burns Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> --- .../copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java | 560 ++++++++++++++++ java/src/main/java/module-info.java | 3 +- .../javax.annotation.processing.Processor | 1 + .../tool/CopilotToolProcessorTest.java | 603 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 1166 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java create mode 100644 java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessorTest.java diff --git a/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java b/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..409c9802a4 --- /dev/null +++ b/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java @@ -0,0 +1,560 @@ +/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + * Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

The SDK has a canonical configuration in `JsonRpcClient#createObjectMapper()` that adds: +- `JavaTimeModule` (so `java.time.*` types serialize/deserialize correctly) +- `NON_NULL` inclusion +- `FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES = false` +- ISO-8601 date format (not timestamps) + +Without this config, tool argument coercion and return serialization will break at runtime for any tool that uses `LocalDateTime`, `Instant`, etc. + +**The suggestion:** Emit code that uses a mapper configured like `JsonRpcClient#createObjectMapper()`. + +--- + +**My simplified take on how to address this:** + +The previous approach got complex because of package visibility. But let me propose a much simpler option: + +**The generated code doesn't actually need its own ObjectMapper at all.** Looking at the two usages: + +1. **Result serialization** (`writeValueAsString`) — The framework (`RpcHandlerDispatcher` line 168) already serializes non-String results with the configured mapper. The generated handler can just return the raw object. + +2. **Argument coercion** (`convertValue`) — This is only needed for complex types (enums, records, POJOs). For these, `ToolInvocation.getArgumentsAs(Class)` already exists and uses its own mapper. The simplest fix: just use `invocation.getArgumentsAs()` for the single-POJO case, and for individual complex args, cast through the Map (which Jackson already deserializes correctly from the JSON-RPC layer). + +**Simplest possible fix:** Remove the `objectMapper` field from the generated code entirely. For results, return raw objects. For complex arg types, the args already arrive as properly-typed objects from the JSON-RPC deserialization layer (Maps for POJOs, Strings for enums) — the `convertValue` is a second pass that only matters for non-trivial nested types. + +Does this direction feel right to you, or do you want to keep `convertValue` support for complex arg types?

Its heuristic for "POJO" is: any `CLASS` that isn't in the `isSimpleType()` list. This means types like `java.util.List`, `java.util.Map`, `java.util.Set`, `java.util.ArrayList`, etc. all pass the check. + +**Concrete failure scenario:** + +```java +@CopilotTool("Search things") +public String search(List queries) { ... } +``` + +The tool args JSON will be: `{"queries": ["a", "b"]}` — an **object** with a `queries` key. But the generated code would try `invocation.getArgumentsAs(List.class)`, which attempts to deserialize that entire object `{"queries": [...]}` as a `List`. That fails because it's an object, not an array. + +**The reviewer's suggested fix:** Tighten `isRecordOrPojo()` to: +- Allow `records` (always safe — they map 1:1 to JSON objects) +- For classes (POJOs), **exclude** `java.*`/`javax.*`/`jakarta.*` packages and exclude anything assignable to `Collection` or `Map` + +This is a sound fix — it's a conservative heuristic that correctly avoids JDK container types while still allowing user-defined POJOs. + +Want me to implement this? + +### 21:58 Prompt + +Sure. But I'm still concerned. A heuristic is, by definition, not 100% accurate all the time. Do we really need a heuristic here? What happens when this code path is invoked with something that **should** have been caught by the heuristic, but somehow it slips by? + +### 22:00 Response + +Updated todo list + +You're right to be skeptical. Let's trace what actually happens when the heuristic is wrong. + +**If `isRecordOrPojo` incorrectly returns `true`** (e.g., for `List`), the generated code is: +```java +List args0 = invocation.getArgumentsAs(List.class); +instance.search(args0); +``` + +The JSON args are `{"queries": ["a", "b"]}`. `getArgumentsAs(List.class)` tries to deserialize that JSON **object** into a `List`. Jackson throws at runtime — the user gets a confusing `IllegalArgumentException`. + +**If `isRecordOrPojo` incorrectly returns `false`** (e.g., for a user POJO), the generated code falls through to the per-field extraction path, which extracts each parameter individually from the Map. For a single POJO parameter, this means: +```java +MyArgs args0 = mapper.convertValue(args.get("args0"), MyArgs.class); +``` + +This also works correctly — it just extracts the one field by name rather than deserializing the whole object. + +**Key insight:** The fallback (per-field extraction) always works. The shortcut (`getArgumentsAs`) is an optimization that only works for records/POJOs where the tool's JSON schema fields match the type's fields 1:1. + +So the safest fix is: **remove the heuristic entirely and just use per-field extraction for all cases.** The single-parameter shortcut is a nice convenience but it's fragile — even with a tighter heuristic, edge cases exist (e.g., a user POJO that wraps a single field but has a different JSON structure). The per-field path handles everything correctly. + +Want me to just remove the `isRecordOrPojo` shortcut entirely, or do you still want a tightened heuristic? + +### 22:01 Prompt + +What is the down-side of removing the heuristic? + +### 22:02 Response + +Updated todo list + +The only downside is a **slightly different user experience** for the one-record-parameter case. + +**With the shortcut**, a tool like: +```java +record SearchArgs(String query, int limit) {} + +@CopilotTool("Search") +public String search(SearchArgs args) { ... } +``` +generates a flat schema `{"query": "...", "limit": 10}` and deserializes the whole args object into `SearchArgs` directly. + +**Without the shortcut**, the same tool generates a schema with a single nested field `{"args": {"query": "...", "limit": 10}}` — the LLM would need to wrap the arguments in an extra `"args"` key. That's a worse schema for the model to work with and a worse developer experience. + +So removing the heuristic would **break the ergonomic design goal** of letting users define `search(SearchArgs args)` and getting a flat, natural parameter schema. + +That said, restricting the shortcut to **only records** (not POJOs, not any heuristic) is safe and deterministic — records are an explicit language construct, not a guess. Java records are specifically designed for data carriers, they map cleanly to JSON objects, and you can check `ElementKind.RECORD` with zero ambiguity. + +### 22:02 Prompt + + + +So you mean change the heuristic to be `isRecord` instead of `isRecordOrPojo`? + +What would that mean for this example: + +```java +record SearchArgs(String query, int limit) {} + +@CopilotTool("Search") +public String search(SearchArgs args) { ... } +``` + +### 22:03 Response + +Updated todo list + +For that exact example — **nothing changes**. `SearchArgs` is a `record`, so it passes the `isRecord` check. The generated code would still be: + +```java +SearchArgs args = invocation.getArgumentsAs(SearchArgs.class); +``` + +With a flat schema: `{"query": "string", "limit": "integer"}`. + +The only things that would change behavior are single-parameter tools where the parameter is a **POJO class** (not a record): + +```java +// This would NO LONGER get the shortcut: +class SearchArgs { String query; int limit; } + +@CopilotTool("Search") +public String search(SearchArgs args) { ... } +``` + +That would fall through to per-field extraction, producing a nested schema `{"args": {"type": "object", ...}}` — which is arguably the safer behavior since we can't guarantee a POJO's fields match the JSON structure without heuristics. + +Records are the right boundary: they're immutable data carriers with compiler-guaranteed component lists, designed exactly for this kind of structured deserialization.

Here's the analysis: + +--- + +**The problem:** There are **two separate paths** for default values, and they're inconsistent: + +1. **Runtime defaulting (lambda body)** — `generateDefaultLiteral()` is type-aware. For `@Param(defaultValue = "10") int limit`, it emits the Java literal `10` (unquoted). For booleans, it emits `true`/`false`. This works correctly. + +2. **JSON Schema `"default"` field (sent to the model)** — `withMeta()` always does `result.put("default", defaultValue)` where `defaultValue` is a `String`. So the JSON Schema gets `"default": "10"` (a JSON string) instead of `"default": 10` (a JSON number). Similarly `"default": "true"` instead of `"default": true`. + +**Why it's serious:** The JSON Schema is what the model sees. When the schema says `"type": "integer", "default": "10"`, that's a contradictory schema — the default is a string but the type says integer. This can confuse the LLM, cause validation failures in schema-aware consumers, and diverges from what every other SDK does. + +**The fix I would make:** + +1. **Change `withMeta` signature** in the generated code to accept `Object defaultValue` instead of `String defaultValue`. This way the default can be a typed Java literal. + +2. **Change `buildPropertySchema()`** to emit the defaultValue as a typed literal in the generated code, not as a string. Instead of always emitting `"10"` (a Java string), emit `10` (a Java int). This means reusing the same type-inspection logic that `generateDefaultLiteral()` already uses — same switch on `TypeKind` and boxed types. + + Concretely, `buildPropertySchema()` currently emits: + ```java + withMeta(typeSchema, "description", "10") // always a string + ``` + It should emit: + ```java + withMeta(typeSchema, "description", 10) // typed literal + ``` + +3. **Update the `withMeta` helper** in the generated code from `String defaultValue` to `Object defaultValue` so it can accept `int`, `boolean`, `double`, etc. + +The key insight is that `generateDefaultLiteral()` already does the type-aware conversion — we just need to use the same logic in `buildPropertySchema()` and widen the `withMeta` signature from `String` to `Object`. + +Shall I proceed with the fix? + +Created 3 todos + +### 22:13 Prompt + +Yes, please do this. + +But instead of running the test yourself, output the command you'd use to run the test.

From fdd4fad04b0dcd1a657ac20a60a5f16f45482bde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Copilot <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:03:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 20/38] feat(java): Add ToolDefinition.fromObject() and fromClass() registration API (#1779) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * Initial plan * feat(java): Add ToolDefinition.fromObject() and fromClass() static methods Adds static methods that load processor-generated $$CopilotToolMeta classes and return List with fully working tool definitions (schema + invocation handlers). - fromObject(Object): discovers tools from an instance with @CopilotTool methods - fromClass(Class): discovers tools from a class with static @CopilotTool methods - Private getConfiguredMapper(): provides ObjectMapper matching JsonRpcClient config - Throws IllegalStateException with helpful message if generated class not found - Both methods annotated with @CopilotExperimental Includes comprehensive test suite (ToolDefinitionFromObjectTest) covering: - Basic discovery and schema verification - Handler invocation for String, void, and CompletableFuture returns - Argument coercion with primitives, String, boolean, and enums - Default value handling when arguments are omitted - Error case for missing generated class - java.time argument deserialization (validates JavaTimeModule contract) - Override tool flag propagation - ToolDefer.NONE → null mapping (defer absent from JSON output) Closes github/copilot-sdk#1761 Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: replace misleading generated-file comment in test fixtures The $$CopilotToolMeta test fixtures are hand-written, not processor- generated. Update the header comment to say so accurately. Also fix Spotless formatting in CopilotToolProcessor.java. Addresses PR review comment about test Javadoc inaccuracy. * fix: introduce CopilotToolMetadataProvider interface to eliminate setAccessible Replace reflective Method.invoke + setAccessible(true) in ToolDefinition.loadDefinitions() with a typed interface cast. Generated $$CopilotToolMeta classes now implement CopilotToolMetadataProvider, making them JPMS-safe and removing the InaccessibleObjectException risk. Addresses review comment r3468393716. * fix: validate fromClass() rejects instance @CopilotTool methods fromClass() now scans for non-static @CopilotTool methods and throws IllegalArgumentException with an actionable message listing the offending methods and directing users to fromObject() instead. Prevents hard-to-diagnose NullPointerException at invocation time. Addresses review comment r3468393764. * fix: use parsed JSON tree for defer-absence assertion Replace raw json.contains("defer") substring search with ObjectNode.has("defer") to avoid false positives if another field ever contains the substring.

This will fail on the JPMS module-path with `InaccessibleObjectException`. Consider generating `public` `$$CopilotToolMeta` classes with a `public static definitions(...)` method and switching to `metaClass.getMethod(...)` (no `setAccessible`). + +**Evaluation:** This is a valid concern. The fix is straightforward — in `loadDefinitions()`, change `getDeclaredMethod` → `getMethod` and remove `setAccessible(true)`.

No behavioral change for existing classpath users. + +Want me to proceed with applying these changes? + +Created 3 todos + +### 12:39 Prompt + +I'm always skeptical when the answer to an access problem is just, "make it more public so the access problem goes away." + +Please explain exactly why we need to make these public? I need to be sure this is the right answer. + +### 12:41 Response + +Updated todo list + +Good instinct. Let me walk through the actual mechanics: + +**Where the generated class lives matters.** `$$CopilotToolMeta` is generated into the **user's** package (same package as their `@CopilotTool` class), not into the SDK's package. The SDK's `loadDefinitions()` in ToolDefinition.java is reaching *across* into the user's package to call it. + +**JPMS has two levels of access:** +- **`exports`** — grants compile-time and runtime access to **public** types/members. Users already have this for their package (otherwise their own tool class wouldn't be usable). +- **`opens`** — grants **deep reflective** access to non-public members via `setAccessible(true)`. Users almost never configure this for their own business packages. + +**Current code:** `getDeclaredMethod()` + `setAccessible(true)` on a package-private method requires `opens`. On JPMS, the user would need to add `opens com.their.package to com.github.copilot;` — a confusing requirement that leaks SDK internals into user module-info. + +**With `public` + `getMethod()`:** We only need `exports`, which is already satisfied because the user's tool class is public in that same package. No `setAccessible` needed. No extra module-info directives. + +**So it's not "make it public to dodge the problem."** It's: the meta class is in the *user's* module, and `public` is the correct visibility for a cross-module call that should work without special `opens` grants. + +**Alternative considered:** Have the generated class implement an SDK interface (e.g., `CopilotToolMetaProvider`) and avoid reflection entirely. More robust, but a bigger design change that introduces a new public type. The `public` + `getMethod()` approach is the pragmatic fix here. + +Want me to proceed? + +### 13:04 Prompt + +I do want to explore this `CopilotToolMetaProvider` interface idea. If we introduced this concept, would that mean people could take responsibility for creating their own metadata provider, in addition to allowing the annotation processor to create one for them? + +### 13:06 Response + +Updated todo list + +Yes, exactly. Here's how it would work: + +**The interface (in the SDK):** +```java +public interface CopilotToolMetaProvider { + List definitions(T instance, ObjectMapper mapper); +} +``` + +**Two paths to provide metadata :** + +1. **Annotation processor (automatic):** `@CopilotTool` methods → processor generates `MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta implements CopilotToolMetaProvider` — same as today but now implements a contract. + +2. **Hand-written (manual):** User writes their own class implementing `CopilotToolMetaProvider`. Full control, no annotation processor required. Useful for dynamic tool schemas, framework integrations, or users who dislike annotation processing. + +**`loadDefinitions()` becomes reflection-free on the method call:** +```java +Class metaClass = Class.forName(metaClassName, true, clazz.getClassLoader()); +CopilotToolMetaProvider provider = (CopilotToolMetaProvider) metaClass.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance(); +return provider.definitions(instance, getConfiguredMapper()); +``` + +No `getDeclaredMethod`, no `setAccessible`, no `Method.invoke`. Just `Class.forName` → cast → normal method call. + +**What it buys you:** +- **JPMS-safe** — only needs `exports`, never `opens` +- **Extensibility** — users who want hand-crafted tool definitions without annotations have a supported path +- **Type-safe** — compiler enforces the method signature +- **Testable** — test fixtures implement a known interface instead of matching a fragile reflection signature + +**Cost:** One new public interface in the SDK API surface. The generated class already depends on `ToolDefinition`, `ToolDefer`, `ObjectMapper` — adding one more SDK type isn't new coupling. + +**Trade-off question:** Is this the right scope for this PR, or should the current PR do the minimal `public` + `getMethod()` fix and the interface be a follow-up? The interface is a better long-term design but a bigger change. + +### 13:07 Prompt + +You said: + +> **Trade-off question:** Is this the right scope for this PR, or should the current PR do the minimal `public` + `getMethod()` fix and the interface be a follow-up?

From c293514b7af534ec41dd0c50e82971dbbe0c9049 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Copilot <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:36:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 22/38] Add E2E integration test for ergonomic @CopilotTool + ToolDefinition.fromObject() API (#1787) * Initial plan * Initial plan * Initial plan * Add E2E integration test for ergonomic @CopilotTool + ToolDefinition.fromObject() API Create ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT that proves the ergonomic annotation-based API produces identical wire behavior to the low-level ToolDefinition.create() API, tested against the replay proxy. Files added: - test/snapshots/tools/ergonomic_tool_definition.yaml (identical to low_level_tool_definition.yaml since wire format is the same) - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT.java - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools.java - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java Closes github/copilot-sdk#1762 * spotless * fix: use passed ObjectMapper for record-parameter conversion The single-record-parameter shortcut in CopilotToolProcessor generated invocation.getArgumentsAs() which uses an unconfigured ObjectMapper internally (no JavaTimeModule, no SDK settings). Switch to mapper.convertValue(args, RecordType.class) which uses the SDK-configured mapper passed to the definitions() method. Addresses review comment r3469523760. * fix: exclude Optional types from required list in generated schema CopilotToolProcessor.generateSchemaWithParamMetadata() now checks if a parameter type is Optional/OptionalInt/OptionalLong/OptionalDouble before adding it to the JSON Schema required list. This aligns with SchemaGenerator which already treats these types as optional. Addresses review comment r3469523801. * fix: correct misleading Javadoc in ToolDefinitionFromObjectTest The class-level Javadoc incorrectly stated that the annotation processor generates $$CopilotToolMeta fixtures during test compilation. In reality, the module has none and these fixtures are hand-written classes under com.github.copilot.rpc.fixtures. Addresses review comment r3469523833. * fix: remove unused grep override tool from E2E test The ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT snapshot only exercises set_current_phase and search_items. The grep tool (with overridesBuiltInTool=true) was never invoked, making it dead code that contradicted the PR description.

Key observations: + +1. **Origin**: It was triggered from an issue (likely someone assigned Copilot to an issue about "fixing defining tools in Java" — note the original WIP title was `[WIP] Fix issues with defining tools in Java`). The branch is `copilot/fix-defining-tools-in-java`. + +2. **Target**: It targets `main` directly, **not** your `edburns/1682-java-tool-ergonomics` feature branch. + +3. **Overlap**: It reimplements essentially the entire Epic #1682 scope in one monolithic 3,304-line PR — `@CopilotTool`, `@Param`, `CopilotToolProcessor`, `SchemaGenerator`, `CopilotToolMetadataProvider`, `fromObject()`/`fromClass()` — all things you've been building incrementally across multiple PRs. + +4. **Session**: Copilot session `75b862f5-4cc7-4a49-a394-f30da4c54a8d` — you can check what issue triggered it. + +**Most likely scenario**: Someone (possibly you, or a Copilot auto-assignment rule) assigned Copilot to an issue that described the tool ergonomics problem broadly. Copilot SWE Agent then independently produced this PR without knowledge of your existing branch/epic work. + +You already commented on it noting the entanglement with #1682. Given it targets `main` and duplicates your incremental work, it's likely best to close it. + +### 14:31 Prompt + +I'm curious about the interaction of spotless with the generated code such as this: + +``` +src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java +``` + +I had to run `mvn spotless:apply` to get this to the point where it could be committed.

Here's why: + +1. **The scope is non-trivial** — you'd need parsing validation for `int/long/float/double/short/byte/boolean` (and boxed variants), enum constant name checking, and deciding what to do with types you can't validate at compile time (`OffsetDateTime`, custom types, records). + +2. **It's not a correctness bug** — the current behavior already fails fast. If you put `defaultValue="abc"` on an `int`, the generated code will either fail to compile (if the processor emits a literal) or throw at runtime (if it emits a parse call). The issue is just *where* the error message points. + +3. **The `required=true` + `defaultValue` conflict check you already have** covers the most common user mistake. Type-mismatch in a default value is a rarer scenario. + +4. **Other annotation processors** (Dagger, MapStruct, immutables) generally don't validate string-typed annotation defaults against target types — they rely on the generated code failing to compile. + +If you agree, I can file an issue for it.

Can't we do something similar here? - -### 19:06 Response - -Yes — this is completely solvable with an annotation processor. - -The key insight: **`javax.lang.model.element.VariableElement.getSimpleName()` always returns the real parameter name at compile time**, regardless of whether `-parameters` is passed to `javac`. The `-parameters` flag only controls whether those names survive into the `.class` bytecode for runtime reflection. An annotation processor sees the source-level names unconditionally. - -### How it would work - -The processor runs at compile time, finds all `@CopilotTool`-annotated methods, and generates a metadata class (or resource) that bakes in the parameter names, types, and descriptions: - -```java -// GENERATED — do not edit -final class MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta { - static List definitions(MyTools instance) { - return List.of( - new ToolDefinition("set_current_phase", - "Sets the current phase of the agent.", - Map.of("type", "object", - "properties", Map.of("phase", Map.of("type", "string", "description", "The phase to transition to")), - "required", List.of("phase")), - invocation -> { - Phase phase = invocation.getArgumentsAs(Phase.class); - return CompletableFuture.completedFuture( - instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)); - }, null, null, null) - ); - } -} -``` - -At runtime, `ToolDefinition.fromObject(myTools)` just loads the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class — zero reflection, zero dependency on `-parameters`. - -### Precedent in the ecosystem - -| Framework | Approach | -|-----------|----------| -| **Micronaut** | Annotation processor generates all DI metadata at compile time — no runtime reflection, no `-parameters` needed | -| **Dagger 2** | Processor generates `_Factory` / `_MembersInjector` classes | -| **MapStruct** | Processor generates mapper implementations from interface method signatures | -| **Our own `@CopilotExperimental`** | Processor walks declared elements via JSR 269 | - -### Advantages over the `-parameters` fallback - -1. **No build configuration requirement** — works out of the box with any `javac` invocation. -2. **No runtime reflection** — the generated code calls the method directly. Faster, GraalVM-native-friendly, no `setAccessible` issues. -3. **Compile-time validation** — the processor can emit errors if `@Param` is missing on a parameter, if a type isn't serializable, if two tools have the same name, etc. (same as we did for `@CopilotExperimental`). -4. **Schema correctness guaranteed** — the schema is computed once from the source AST, not guessed at runtime from erased generics. - -### Trade-off vs. pure runtime reflection (langchain4j default) - -| | Annotation processor | Runtime reflection | -|---|---|---| -| Requires `-parameters`? | No | Yes (or `@P(name=...)`) | -| GraalVM native-image friendly? | Yes | Needs reflection config | -| Compile-time error checking? | Yes | Fails at runtime | -| Extra generated source files? | Yes | None | -| Works without running the processor? | No — but fails loudly at compile time | Yes (degraded) | - -So yes: we can follow the same JSR 269 pattern as `@CopilotExperimental` to eliminate the `-parameters` requirement entirely. The processor sees the real names from source, bakes them into generated code, and the runtime never needs to call `Parameter.getName()`. - - - -Want me to update the ADR to reflect this? - -### 19:07 Prompt - -Yes please. - -### 19:14 Response - -Read [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/docs/adr/adr-005-tool-definition.md#195-195), lines 195 to 220 - -Read [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/docs/adr/adr-005-tool-definition.md#218-218), lines 218 to 240 - -Replacing 15 lines with 10 lines in [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/docs/adr/adr-005-tool-definition.md) - - -``` - -``` -Done.

Skills are automatically loaded based on their description field in the frontmatter. The agent sees the skill listed in and invokes it when the task matches the description. - - However, you can be explicit if you want. Any of these would work: - - 1. Implicit (recommended): Just describe what you want — the skill's description matches "creating a new Java E2E integration test that requires a new replay proxy YAML snapshot": - Create a new failsafe IT test with a YAML snapshot that exercises the new feature. - 2. Explicit mention: Reference the skill by name to make sure it's invoked: - Use the new-java-e2e-test-yaml-and-test skill to create a test and YAML snapshot for the new feature. - 3. Check available skills: Use /skills in the CLI to see what's loaded, or /env to see the full environment including skills. - - Both approaches work. The agent sees the skill in its available tools and will call it before generating code. The explicit mention is a good safety net if you want to be sure. - diff --git a/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/20260617-prompts.md b/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/20260617-prompts.md deleted file mode 100644 index 8926ad5864..0000000000 --- a/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/20260617-prompts.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,374 +0,0 @@ -## dd-3018003-implement-tools - -Review the chat history in `copilot-sdk/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/20260615-prompts.md`. - -Most important is the content within the XML element `` - -Also important is the content within the XML element `` - -Use `gh` to open and read and understand any issue or PR links to https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk. - -Read and understand the ADR in `java/docs/adr/adr-005-tool-definition.md`. - -We're not yet ready to ask you to write a `copilot --yolo` ready plan to do the work.

Make me smart. - -### 19:00 Response - - I’ll trace  ToolDefer  in the SDK and summarize what it does, where it’s used, and why it matters for your annotation design decision. - - ● Search "\bToolDefer\b" 21 lines found - ● Search "defer" in **/*.java (java) 28 lines found - - JV Read ToolDefer.java 69 lines read - JV Read ToolDefinition.java 166 lines read - JV Read ToolDefinitionTest.java 62 lines read - GO Read types.go L1120:1175 (55 lines read) - MD Read README.md L1:260 (155 lines read) - MD Read dd-3018003-ignorance-reduction-for-implementation-plan.md L1:220 (220 lines read) - - ● Search ""defer"|ToolDefer|deferred tools|tool search" (docs, java/docs, java/README.md) No matches found - - MD Read adr-005-tool-definition.md L1:260 (235 lines read) - - ●  ToolDefer  is the per-tool loading policy in  ToolDefinition —it tells Copilot whether to preload a tool definition or allow lazy loading via tool search. - - In this repo it has exactly two values: - - 1.  AUTO  ( "auto" ): tool may be deferred and surfaced through tool search. - 2.  NEVER  ( "never" ): tool is always pre-loaded. - - If unset ( null  / omitted JSON), runtime decides. In Java, this is  com.github.copilot.rpc.ToolDefer  and is wired via  ToolDefinition.createWithDefer(...) ; same concept exists in Go ( Tool.Defer ). - - For your open question: this is an advanced optimization knob (prompt/tool catalog size vs immediate availability), not core ergonomics. So “defer  ToolDefer  support on  @CopilotTool  for v1” is a reasonable cut, as long as low-level  ToolDefinition.createWithDefer(...)  remains available for power users. - - -### 18:59 Prompt - -Now to this one - -> ### 3.3 — `@Param` annotation design - -> **Question:** What attributes does `@Param` need? -> -> ```java -> @Documented -> @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) -> @Target(ElementType.PARAMETER) -> public @interface Param { -> /** Parameter description (sent to the model). */ -> String value() default ""; -> -> /** Parameter name override. Defaults to the actual parameter name. */ -> String name() default ""; -> -> /** Whether this parameter is required. Default true. */ -> boolean required() default true; -> } -> ``` -> -> **Open question:** LangChain4J's `@P` also has `defaultValue()`. Do we need that? Probably not for v1 — the model doesn't use default values; it's for documentation. - -Does the Zod schema that dictates tool definition have a concept of a default value? We can't add one in the Java SDK if it doesn't exist in the lower level Copilot CLI. - -### 19:28 Response - - ● Short answer: you’re not blocked by the lower-level schema. - - The wire-level tool shape treats  parameters  as an open JSON object, not a closed schema with fixed keys: - - • Node RPC type:  Tool.parameters?: { [k: string]: unknown }  ( nodejs/src/generated/rpc.ts ) - • Java generated RPC type:  @JsonProperty("parameters") Map  ( java/src/generated/java/com/github/copilot/generated/rpc/Tool.java ) - • Go type:  Parameters map[string]any  ( go/types.go ) - - So JSON Schema keywords like  default  can flow through. There is just no dedicated first-class  defaultValue  field in  ToolDefinition ; it would have to be emitted into the JSON schema for that parameter ( properties..default ). - - Practically: adding  @Param(defaultValue=...)  is compatible at the transport layer, but likely documentation/hint only unless you also implement SDK/runtime behavior to apply defaults when args are missing. - -### 19:29 Prompt - -Well, of course, if the user specifies a default, then we need to make it so that default does flow through to the tool invocation. Is that implementable? I don't see why not. - -### 19:31 Response - - ● Yes—it’s implementable, and you should do it in the Java SDK layer. - - The CLI/tool wire contract already passes raw argument JSON through; Java can apply defaults before invoking the method. A solid design is: - - 1. Emit  default  into the generated JSON Schema ( properties..default ) for model guidance. - 2. In generated/reflection invocation code, merge defaults into the incoming args map only when a key is absent (not when present with explicit  null , unless you define that behavior). - 3. Then run normal coercion/casting and method invocation. - - Key policy choices to lock down: - - •  required  +  defaultValue : either forbid this combo, or allow it and treat default as satisfying missing input. - • Type parsing:  defaultValue  is annotation text, so processor/reflection path must parse/validate it against param type (fail fast on mismatch). - • Path parity: compile-time generated path and runtime reflection fallback must apply identical defaulting semantics. - - So your instinct is right: no lower-level CLI blocker; it’s a Java API/runtime behavior decision. - -### 19:32 Prompt - -Consider your response. - -> The CLI/tool wire contract already passes raw argument JSON through; Java can apply defaults before invoking the method.

Note that it defines these tools - -- `setPhaseTool` -- `searchTool` -- `grepOverrideTool` - -Compare that known-passing code with what you grabbed from ADR-005: - -> ```java -> // GENERATED — do not edit -> final class MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta { -> static List definitions(MyTools instance) { -> return List.of( -> new ToolDefinition("set_current_phase", "Sets the current phase", -> Map.of("type", "object", -> "properties", Map.of("phase", Map.of("type", "string", -> "description", "The phase to transition to")), -> "required", List.of("phase")), -> invocation -> { -> String phase = (String) invocation.getArguments().get("phase"); -> return CompletableFuture.completedFuture( -> instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)); -> }, null, null, null) -> ); -> } -> } -> ``` - -And then ask yourself the questions from the plan - -> 1. **Method invocation in generated code:** The generated lambda calls `instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)` directly — no reflection at runtime. But this requires the method to be accessible (not private). What access levels do we support? langchain4j uses `method.setAccessible(true)` at runtime. We'd need to either: -> - Require `public` or package-private methods, OR -> - Generate a helper that uses `MethodHandles.Lookup` to access private methods (complex), OR -> - Just require non-private. - -> 2. **Return type handling:** What does the generated code do with the method's return value? - -> 3. **Argument deserialization in generated code:** How does the generated lambda extract and coerce arguments? - -Does the known-passing test code even ask these questions? Does it answer them? How? - -### 16:18 Response - -Updated todo list - -Read [](file:///home/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/LowLevelToolDefinitionIT.java) - -The known-passing test **doesn't ask** these questions — it **bypasses** them entirely. Here's why: - ---- - -**Q1 (Access levels):** Not applicable. The test uses inline lambdas, not method references: - -```java -invocation -> { - currentPhase = args.phase(); - return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Phase set to " + currentPhase); -} -``` - -There's no method to invoke — the tool logic IS the lambda. The access-level question only arises when a processor needs to generate code that calls `instance.someMethod()`. - ---- - -**Q2 (Return type handling):** Already resolved by fiat. Every handler explicitly returns `CompletableFuture`: - -```java -return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Phase set to " + currentPhase); -return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Found: item_alpha, item_beta"); -return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("CUSTOM_GREP: " + query); -``` - -The low-level API's handler type signature forces the user to produce `CompletableFuture` (or `Object`). No wrapping, no serialization — that's the user's problem. - ---- - -**Q3 (Argument deserialization):** Answered — it shows **both** patterns that the generated code would need: - -| Pattern | Test usage | -|---------|-----------| -| Jackson deserialization to a record | `invocation.getArgumentsAs(PhaseArgs.class)` for `setPhaseTool` | -| Direct map access + cast | `(String) invocation.getArguments().get("keyword")` for `searchTool` and `grepOverrideTool` | - ---- - -**Summary:** The low-level test is the **specification** of what the generated code must emit — it shows the exact lambdas the processor must synthesize. The test proves the wire format works. The three questions from 3.5 are about automating what the test author does manually: - -1. The processor must generate `instance.method()` calls → needs at least package-private access -2. The processor must wrap arbitrary return types into `CompletableFuture` → needs the return-type table -3. The processor must generate either `getArgumentsAs(Record.class)` or `getArguments().get("name")` + cast → depending on parameter complexity - -The test doesn't need to answer these questions because the human already made all three decisions by hand-writing the lambdas. - -### 16:19 Prompt - -I have been going through the plan `copilot-sdk/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/dd-3018003-ignorance-reduction-for-implementation-plan.md` and filling in **Resolution** for each question.

Decisions: - -1. **Access levels:** Require at least package-private. The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` lives in the same package as the user's class, so package-private and above work without reflection. Emit a compile error for `private` methods annotated with `@CopilotTool`. - -2. **Return type handling:** - - | Return type | Generated code | - |-------------|----------------| - | `String` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(instance.method(...))` | - | `CompletableFuture` | `instance.method(...)` (use as-is) | - | `void` | `instance.method(...); return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Success")` | - | `CompletableFuture` (non-String) | `instance.method(...).thenApply(objectMapper::writeValueAsString)` | - | Other `T` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(instance.method(...)))` | - -3. **Argument deserialization:** Follow the two patterns proven in `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT`: - - **Simple types** (`String`, primitives, boxed): generate direct cast from `invocation.getArguments().get("name")` (e.g., `(String) args.get("city")`, `((Number) args.get("count")).intValue()`). - - **Complex types** (enums, records, POJOs): generate `objectMapper.convertValue(invocation.getArguments().get("name"), TargetType.class)`. - - **Single-record-parameter shortcut:** When a method has exactly one parameter that is a record/POJO (matching the full argument set), generate `invocation.getArgumentsAs(RecordType.class)` — the same pattern `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT.setPhaseTool` uses. - - The `ObjectMapper` instance: use a `private static final` field in the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class, initialized from `com.github.copilot.rpc.RpcMapper.INSTANCE` (already exists in the SDK). - -### 16:37 Prompt - -Read `copilot-sdk/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/dd-3018003-ignorance-reduction-for-implementation-plan.md` to get the context. - -In this session, we are working on "Phase 3 — Ignorance reduction: questions to answer before writing code". - -We have completed and answered up to, but not including, "3.7 — `module-info.java` impact". - -I will proceed after this prompt. - -### 16:40 Response - -Updated todo list - -Read [](file:///Users/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/dd-3018003-ignorance-reduction-for-implementation-plan.md#1-1), lines 1 to 300 - -Read [](file:///Users/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/dd-3018003-ignorance-reduction-for-implementation-plan.md#300-300), lines 300 to 491 - -I've read the full document.

This is the **Copilot CLI / model-facing convention** — it's how the LLM identifies and calls tools in function-calling. It's not language-internal naming; it's a wire protocol identifier. - -## Impact of switching to `camelCase` - -If you changed the default conversion to camelCase (or just identity — since Java methods are already camelCase): - -| Aspect | Impact | -|--------|--------| -| **Wire compatibility** | Tool names like `setCurrentPhase` instead of `set_current_phase`. The model still works (it's just a string), but diverges from every other SDK's convention. | -| **Cross-SDK consistency** | A tool that's `set_current_phase` in Node/Go/.NET/Python/Rust would be `setCurrentPhase` in Java — confusing for multi-SDK teams. | -| **Snapshot reuse** | Can't share the same test snapshots across SDKs (model expects specific tool names in responses). | -| **Code change** | Actually simplifies the processor — no case conversion logic needed (identity transform). | -| **Override tools** | Built-in Copilot tools use `snake_case` (like `grep`). Overriding them already requires explicit `name="grep"`, so no impact there. | - -## Recommendation - -Keep `snake_case` as the **default** wire name derivation. The rationale is protocol-level consistency, not Java style: - -- The Java **method** stays camelCase (`setCurrentPhase`) — idiomatic Java. -- The **tool name** sent to the model is `set_current_phase` — idiomatic function-calling protocol. -- Users can always override with `@CopilotTool(name="whateverTheyWant")`. - -This is the same pattern Jackson uses: Java fields are camelCase, but `@JsonProperty` / `PropertyNamingStrategies` controls the wire format. The wire convention is independent of the source language. - -If you still prefer dropping the conversion, the only code changes would be: -1.

Inside `process()`, it: - - Scans each root element (class/record/enum/interface) for methods whose name starts with `schemaTarget` — then calls `generator.generateSchemaSource()` on that method's **return type**, recording `"methodName=schemaOutput"` in a static list. - - For methods named `parametersTarget`, calls `generator.generateParametersSchemaSource()` on the method's parameter list. - - For root types named `TestRecord*`, `TestEnum*`, or `TestSealed*`, generates schema for the type itself (records, enums, sealed interfaces). - -3. **`compileAndCapture()`** / **`compileAndCaptureParams()`** — helper methods that: - - Create an in-memory compilation unit from the source string - - Invoke `JavaCompiler.getTask()` with a `StandardJavaFileManager` configured to write `.class` output to `target/test-schema-classes/` - - Register `SchemaCapturingProcessor` - - Call `task.call()` to trigger compilation → annotation processing → schema capture - - Return the captured schema strings - -## What the 24 tests assert - -Each test provides a tiny Java source snippet with a strategically typed method, compiles it, and asserts that `SchemaGenerator` produces the exact expected `Map.of(...)` string: - -| Category | Tests | Example assertion | -|---|---|---| -| **Primitives & boxed** | `int`, `long`, `double`, `float`, `boolean` + `Integer`, `Boolean` | `int` → `Map.of("type", "integer")` | -| **String** | `stringType` | → `Map.of("type", "string")` | -| **Arrays** | `stringArrayType` | `String[]` → `Map.of("type", "array", "items", Map.of("type", "string"))` | -| **Collections** | `listOfStringType` | `List` → same as array of string | -| **Maps** | `mapStringString`, `mapStringObject`, `mapStringBoolean`, `mapStringLong` | `Map` → `Map.of("type", "object", "additionalProperties", ...)` with typed values, or just `"object"` for `Object` values | -| **Optional** | `optionalStringType` | `Optional` → unwraps to `Map.of("type", "string")` | -| **Date/UUID** | `uuidType`, `offsetDateTimeType` | → `"string"` with `"format"` (`"uuid"` / `"date-time"`) | -| **Enums** | `enumType` | `enum {RED, GREEN, BLUE}` → `Map.of("type", "string", "enum", List.of("RED", "GREEN", "BLUE"))` | -| **Records** | `recordType`, `recordWithOptionalField` | Record components → `"object"` with `"properties"` and `"required"` (optional fields excluded from required) | -| **Nested types** | `nestedMapListType` | `Map>` → nested `additionalProperties` with array schema | -| **Object fallback** | `objectType` | `Object` → `Map.of()` (empty = any) | -| **Parameters** | `parametersSchema` | Multi-param method → full `"type": "object"` with properties and required list | -| **Source validity** | `generatedSourceIsValidJava` | Takes generated schema expressions, embeds them in a new Java class, and **re-compiles** to prove they are syntactically valid Java | - -## How correctness is asserted - -- **Exact string matching** (`assertContainsSchema`): most tests assert the captured schema string equals `"methodName=" + expectedMapLiteral` exactly. -- **Substring matching** (`parametersSchema`): the parameters test uses `assertTrue(schema.contains(...))` for each property and the required list, since parameter ordering may vary. -- **Compilation round-trip** (`generatedSourceIsValidJava`): the strongest assertion — it proves the generated `Map.of(...)` expressions are not just correct strings but actually **compilable Java source code**, by embedding them as variable initializers in a new class and compiling that class. - -### 13:44 Prompt - -Does the test fail if the compilation fails? - -### 13:44 Response - -Updated todo list - -Yes. Every compilation path asserts success: - -- **`compileAndCapture()`** (line ~196): `assertTrue(success, "Compilation failed: " + diagnostics.getDiagnostics())` — fails the test with the compiler diagnostics if compilation doesn't succeed. (It also tries a fallback without `--add-modules` first, but if that also fails, the assertion fires.) - -- **`compileAndCaptureParams()`** (line ~213): same `assertTrue(success, ...)` pattern. - -- **`generatedSourceIsValidJava()`** (line ~505): `assertTrue(success, "Generated schema source code is not valid Java: " + diagnostics.getDiagnostics() + "\nSource:\n" + validationSource)` — additionally includes the generated source in the failure message for debugging. - -- **`createFileManager()`** (line ~142): if the file manager can't be created (e.g., `CLASS_OUTPUT_DIR` can't be created), the `IOException` is caught and `fail(...)` is called. - -So a compilation failure at any stage — the initial source compilation, the module-option fallback retry, or the round-trip re-compilation of generated schema expressions — will fail the test with a diagnostic message. - -### 13:44 Prompt - -Would it make sense to add Jackson serialize/deserialize of the types to the test? - -### 13:46 Response - -Updated todo list - -No, it wouldn't add meaningful value here. A few reasons: - -1. **Wrong abstraction layer.** `SchemaGenerator` produces **Java source code strings** (`Map.of(...)` literals), not runtime objects. To test Jackson serialization you'd need to compile the source → execute it → get a `Map` → serialize with Jackson → deserialize → assert. At that point you're testing `Map.of()` and Jackson, not `SchemaGenerator`. - -2. **The existing tests already cover structure correctness.** The exact string equality assertions verify the precise schema structure (keys, nesting, required lists). The `generatedSourceIsValidJava` test proves the expressions are compilable. Together, these guarantee the output is correct. - -3. **`SchemaGenerator` has no Jackson dependency.** It uses only `javax.lang.model` APIs. Adding Jackson to its test would introduce a coupling that doesn't exist in production code. - -4. **JSON Schema wire-format validity belongs at the integration level.** When the annotation processor output is consumed by the Copilot CLI over JSON-RPC, that's where schema correctness at the JSON level matters — and that's what the E2E tests (with the replay proxy) cover. - -Where Jackson testing *would* make sense is in the **annotation processor** that consumes `SchemaGenerator` — verifying that the generated `@CopilotTool` adapter class produces a tool definition that serializes to valid JSON matching the Copilot protocol. That's a different test, at a higher layer. - -### 13:46 Prompt - -Find the right place in the description of https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/issues/1760 to insert guidance so the agent assigned that issue adds the relevant jackson serialize/deserialize tests. - -### 13:49 Response - -Updated todo list - -You're right — your instructions say to use `gh` CLI for GitHub interactions.

Here's why not specifying `--release` is the right call: - -1. **The test snippets are release-agnostic.** They use basic types (`String`, `List`, `Map`, records, enums) that are identical at the `javax.lang.model` level regardless of whether the JDK is 17 or 25. There's no divergence risk in practice. - -2. **You can't pick a single value that works on both JDKs.** `--release 25` would fail on Java 17. `--release 17` would work on both but is unnecessary constraint. - -3. **`SchemaGenerator` operates on `TypeMirror`/`Elements` — not bytecode.** The release level of the compiled snippet doesn't affect the type model the processor sees.

The SDK has a canonical configuration in `JsonRpcClient#createObjectMapper()` that adds: -- `JavaTimeModule` (so `java.time.*` types serialize/deserialize correctly) -- `NON_NULL` inclusion -- `FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES = false` -- ISO-8601 date format (not timestamps) - -Without this config, tool argument coercion and return serialization will break at runtime for any tool that uses `LocalDateTime`, `Instant`, etc. - -**The suggestion:** Emit code that uses a mapper configured like `JsonRpcClient#createObjectMapper()`. - ---- - -**My simplified take on how to address this:** - -The previous approach got complex because of package visibility. But let me propose a much simpler option: - -**The generated code doesn't actually need its own ObjectMapper at all.** Looking at the two usages: - -1. **Result serialization** (`writeValueAsString`) — The framework (`RpcHandlerDispatcher` line 168) already serializes non-String results with the configured mapper. The generated handler can just return the raw object. - -2. **Argument coercion** (`convertValue`) — This is only needed for complex types (enums, records, POJOs). For these, `ToolInvocation.getArgumentsAs(Class)` already exists and uses its own mapper. The simplest fix: just use `invocation.getArgumentsAs()` for the single-POJO case, and for individual complex args, cast through the Map (which Jackson already deserializes correctly from the JSON-RPC layer). - -**Simplest possible fix:** Remove the `objectMapper` field from the generated code entirely. For results, return raw objects. For complex arg types, the args already arrive as properly-typed objects from the JSON-RPC deserialization layer (Maps for POJOs, Strings for enums) — the `convertValue` is a second pass that only matters for non-trivial nested types. - -Does this direction feel right to you, or do you want to keep `convertValue` support for complex arg types?

That would be a natural seam for the injection. - -### 20:12 Prompt - -You are correct, the implementation of `ToolDefinition.fromObject()` will be done in a later phase. In this issue, actually: https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/issues/1761 . That is the next one we will tackle. - -But what I'm getting at here: - - can we include in the contract between the code generated by `CopilotToolProcessor` and the code that will ultimately invoke that generated code in the eventual implementation of `ToolDefinition.fromObject()` a pre-condition step that is basically **set the ObjectMapper**? - - And can we do this without changing any public APIs? - -### 20:17 Response - -Updated todo list - -Yes — and the cleanest way is to make the ObjectMapper a **parameter** of the generated `definitions()` method rather than a static field. The contract becomes: - -```java -// Generated code (package-private, internal contract) -final class MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta { - static List definitions(MyTools instance, ObjectMapper mapper) { - // uses 'mapper' for arg coercion and result serialization - } -} -``` - -Then `ToolDefinition.fromObject()` (which uses reflection to load the meta class) passes the configured mapper: - -```java -// Inside ToolDefinition.fromObject() — reflective call -Method m = metaClass.getDeclaredMethod("definitions", toolClass, ObjectMapper.class); -return (List) m.invoke(null, instance, configuredMapper); -``` - -**Why this works without public API changes:** -- `$$CopilotToolMeta` is package-private — users never see it -- `definitions()` is package-private — its signature is an internal contract -- `fromObject()` calls it reflectively, so package visibility doesn't matter -- The user just calls `ToolDefinition.fromObject(myTools)` — no mapper in the public signature -- `fromObject()` is inside the SDK jar and can obtain the configured mapper through internal means (e.g., a package-private accessor) - -**No mutable static state, no threading concerns, no public ObjectMapper exposure.** The mapper flows as a parameter through the internal contract. - -Want me to implement this? - -### 20:26 Response - -Updated todo list - -Let me first check the current state after your stash, then implement: - -Read [](file:///Users/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk-00/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java#118-118), lines 118 to 140 - -Read [](file:///Users/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk-00/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java#140-140), lines 140 to 165 - -Good — the stash restored original code.

Its heuristic for "POJO" is: any `CLASS` that isn't in the `isSimpleType()` list. This means types like `java.util.List`, `java.util.Map`, `java.util.Set`, `java.util.ArrayList`, etc. all pass the check. - -**Concrete failure scenario:** - -```java -@CopilotTool("Search things") -public String search(List queries) { ... } -``` - -The tool args JSON will be: `{"queries": ["a", "b"]}` — an **object** with a `queries` key. But the generated code would try `invocation.getArgumentsAs(List.class)`, which attempts to deserialize that entire object `{"queries": [...]}` as a `List`. That fails because it's an object, not an array. - -**The reviewer's suggested fix:** Tighten `isRecordOrPojo()` to: -- Allow `records` (always safe — they map 1:1 to JSON objects) -- For classes (POJOs), **exclude** `java.*`/`javax.*`/`jakarta.*` packages and exclude anything assignable to `Collection` or `Map` - -This is a sound fix — it's a conservative heuristic that correctly avoids JDK container types while still allowing user-defined POJOs. - -Want me to implement this? - -### 21:58 Prompt - -Sure. But I'm still concerned. A heuristic is, by definition, not 100% accurate all the time. Do we really need a heuristic here? What happens when this code path is invoked with something that **should** have been caught by the heuristic, but somehow it slips by? - -### 22:00 Response - -Updated todo list - -You're right to be skeptical. Let's trace what actually happens when the heuristic is wrong. - -**If `isRecordOrPojo` incorrectly returns `true`** (e.g., for `List`), the generated code is: -```java -List args0 = invocation.getArgumentsAs(List.class); -instance.search(args0); -``` - -The JSON args are `{"queries": ["a", "b"]}`. `getArgumentsAs(List.class)` tries to deserialize that JSON **object** into a `List`. Jackson throws at runtime — the user gets a confusing `IllegalArgumentException`. - -**If `isRecordOrPojo` incorrectly returns `false`** (e.g., for a user POJO), the generated code falls through to the per-field extraction path, which extracts each parameter individually from the Map. For a single POJO parameter, this means: -```java -MyArgs args0 = mapper.convertValue(args.get("args0"), MyArgs.class); -``` - -This also works correctly — it just extracts the one field by name rather than deserializing the whole object. - -**Key insight:** The fallback (per-field extraction) always works. The shortcut (`getArgumentsAs`) is an optimization that only works for records/POJOs where the tool's JSON schema fields match the type's fields 1:1. - -So the safest fix is: **remove the heuristic entirely and just use per-field extraction for all cases.** The single-parameter shortcut is a nice convenience but it's fragile — even with a tighter heuristic, edge cases exist (e.g., a user POJO that wraps a single field but has a different JSON structure). The per-field path handles everything correctly. - -Want me to just remove the `isRecordOrPojo` shortcut entirely, or do you still want a tightened heuristic? - -### 22:01 Prompt - -What is the down-side of removing the heuristic? - -### 22:02 Response - -Updated todo list - -The only downside is a **slightly different user experience** for the one-record-parameter case. - -**With the shortcut**, a tool like: -```java -record SearchArgs(String query, int limit) {} - -@CopilotTool("Search") -public String search(SearchArgs args) { ... } -``` -generates a flat schema `{"query": "...", "limit": 10}` and deserializes the whole args object into `SearchArgs` directly. - -**Without the shortcut**, the same tool generates a schema with a single nested field `{"args": {"query": "...", "limit": 10}}` — the LLM would need to wrap the arguments in an extra `"args"` key. That's a worse schema for the model to work with and a worse developer experience. - -So removing the heuristic would **break the ergonomic design goal** of letting users define `search(SearchArgs args)` and getting a flat, natural parameter schema. - -That said, restricting the shortcut to **only records** (not POJOs, not any heuristic) is safe and deterministic — records are an explicit language construct, not a guess. Java records are specifically designed for data carriers, they map cleanly to JSON objects, and you can check `ElementKind.RECORD` with zero ambiguity. - -### 22:02 Prompt - - - -So you mean change the heuristic to be `isRecord` instead of `isRecordOrPojo`? - -What would that mean for this example: - -```java -record SearchArgs(String query, int limit) {} - -@CopilotTool("Search") -public String search(SearchArgs args) { ... } -``` - -### 22:03 Response - -Updated todo list - -For that exact example — **nothing changes**. `SearchArgs` is a `record`, so it passes the `isRecord` check. The generated code would still be: - -```java -SearchArgs args = invocation.getArgumentsAs(SearchArgs.class); -``` - -With a flat schema: `{"query": "string", "limit": "integer"}`. - -The only things that would change behavior are single-parameter tools where the parameter is a **POJO class** (not a record): - -```java -// This would NO LONGER get the shortcut: -class SearchArgs { String query; int limit; } - -@CopilotTool("Search") -public String search(SearchArgs args) { ... } -``` - -That would fall through to per-field extraction, producing a nested schema `{"args": {"type": "object", ...}}` — which is arguably the safer behavior since we can't guarantee a POJO's fields match the JSON structure without heuristics. - -Records are the right boundary: they're immutable data carriers with compiler-guaranteed component lists, designed exactly for this kind of structured deserialization. No guessing needed. - -### 22:03 Prompt - -Ok, yes. Redo it with records as the heuristic. - -Commit but do not push. - -### 22:08 Response - - -Updated todo list - -Read [](file:///Users/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk-00/java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java#498-498), lines 498 to 515 - -Now let me check the call site and see where `isRecordOrPojo` is used: - -Searched for text `isRecordOrPojo` (`copilot-sdk-00` · `java/src/main/java/com/github/copilot/tool/CopilotToolProcessor.java`), 2 results - -Two changes: rename the method and simplify its logic, then update the call site.

Here's the analysis: - ---- - -**The problem:** There are **two separate paths** for default values, and they're inconsistent: - -1. **Runtime defaulting (lambda body)** — `generateDefaultLiteral()` is type-aware. For `@Param(defaultValue = "10") int limit`, it emits the Java literal `10` (unquoted). For booleans, it emits `true`/`false`. This works correctly. - -2. **JSON Schema `"default"` field (sent to the model)** — `withMeta()` always does `result.put("default", defaultValue)` where `defaultValue` is a `String`. So the JSON Schema gets `"default": "10"` (a JSON string) instead of `"default": 10` (a JSON number). Similarly `"default": "true"` instead of `"default": true`. - -**Why it's serious:** The JSON Schema is what the model sees. When the schema says `"type": "integer", "default": "10"`, that's a contradictory schema — the default is a string but the type says integer. This can confuse the LLM, cause validation failures in schema-aware consumers, and diverges from what every other SDK does. - -**The fix I would make:** - -1. **Change `withMeta` signature** in the generated code to accept `Object defaultValue` instead of `String defaultValue`. This way the default can be a typed Java literal. - -2. **Change `buildPropertySchema()`** to emit the defaultValue as a typed literal in the generated code, not as a string. Instead of always emitting `"10"` (a Java string), emit `10` (a Java int). This means reusing the same type-inspection logic that `generateDefaultLiteral()` already uses — same switch on `TypeKind` and boxed types. - - Concretely, `buildPropertySchema()` currently emits: - ```java - withMeta(typeSchema, "description", "10") // always a string - ``` - It should emit: - ```java - withMeta(typeSchema, "description", 10) // typed literal - ``` - -3. **Update the `withMeta` helper** in the generated code from `String defaultValue` to `Object defaultValue` so it can accept `int`, `boolean`, `double`, etc. - -The key insight is that `generateDefaultLiteral()` already does the type-aware conversion — we just need to use the same logic in `buildPropertySchema()` and widen the `withMeta` signature from `String` to `Object`. - -Shall I proceed with the fix? - -Created 3 todos - -### 22:13 Prompt - -Yes, please do this. - -But instead of running the test yourself, output the command you'd use to run the test.

Users already have this for their package (otherwise their own tool class wouldn't be usable). -- **`opens`** — grants **deep reflective** access to non-public members via `setAccessible(true)`. Users almost never configure this for their own business packages. - -**Current code:** `getDeclaredMethod()` + `setAccessible(true)` on a package-private method requires `opens`. On JPMS, the user would need to add `opens com.their.package to com.github.copilot;` — a confusing requirement that leaks SDK internals into user module-info. - -**With `public` + `getMethod()`:** We only need `exports`, which is already satisfied because the user's tool class is public in that same package. No `setAccessible` needed. No extra module-info directives. - -**So it's not "make it public to dodge the problem."** It's: the meta class is in the *user's* module, and `public` is the correct visibility for a cross-module call that should work without special `opens` grants. - -**Alternative considered:** Have the generated class implement an SDK interface (e.g., `CopilotToolMetaProvider`) and avoid reflection entirely. More robust, but a bigger design change that introduces a new public type. The `public` + `getMethod()` approach is the pragmatic fix here. - -Want me to proceed? - -### 13:04 Prompt - -I do want to explore this `CopilotToolMetaProvider` interface idea. If we introduced this concept, would that mean people could take responsibility for creating their own metadata provider, in addition to allowing the annotation processor to create one for them? - -### 13:06 Response - -Updated todo list - -Yes, exactly. Here's how it would work: - -**The interface (in the SDK):** -```java -public interface CopilotToolMetaProvider { - List definitions(T instance, ObjectMapper mapper); -} -``` - -**Two paths to provide metadata :** - -1. **Annotation processor (automatic):** `@CopilotTool` methods → processor generates `MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta implements CopilotToolMetaProvider` — same as today but now implements a contract. - -2. **Hand-written (manual):** User writes their own class implementing `CopilotToolMetaProvider`. Full control, no annotation processor required. Useful for dynamic tool schemas, framework integrations, or users who dislike annotation processing. - -**`loadDefinitions()` becomes reflection-free on the method call:** -```java -Class metaClass = Class.forName(metaClassName, true, clazz.getClassLoader()); -CopilotToolMetaProvider provider = (CopilotToolMetaProvider) metaClass.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance(); -return provider.definitions(instance, getConfiguredMapper()); -``` - -No `getDeclaredMethod`, no `setAccessible`, no `Method.invoke`. Just `Class.forName` → cast → normal method call. - -**What it buys you:** -- **JPMS-safe** — only needs `exports`, never `opens` -- **Extensibility** — users who want hand-crafted tool definitions without annotations have a supported path -- **Type-safe** — compiler enforces the method signature -- **Testable** — test fixtures implement a known interface instead of matching a fragile reflection signature - -**Cost:** One new public interface in the SDK API surface. The generated class already depends on `ToolDefinition`, `ToolDefer`, `ObjectMapper` — adding one more SDK type isn't new coupling. - -**Trade-off question:** Is this the right scope for this PR, or should the current PR do the minimal `public` + `getMethod()` fix and the interface be a follow-up? The interface is a better long-term design but a bigger change. - -### 13:07 Prompt - -You said: - -> **Trade-off question:** Is this the right scope for this PR, or should the current PR do the minimal `public` + `getMethod()` fix and the interface be a follow-up? The interface is a better long-term design but a bigger change. - -Note that the base branch for this PR is not `main`. Rather it is the topic branch for the overall `CopilotTool` feature. - -So, yes, I want the new interface. But I want it to be called `CopilotToolMetadataProvider`.

How did it get created? - -### 14:28 Response - -Updated todo list - - - -Fetched https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/pull/1786 - -This PR was **created by Copilot SWE Agent** ~20 minutes ago, "on behalf of edburns". Key observations: - -1. **Origin**: It was triggered from an issue (likely someone assigned Copilot to an issue about "fixing defining tools in Java" — note the original WIP title was `[WIP] Fix issues with defining tools in Java`). The branch is `copilot/fix-defining-tools-in-java`. - -2. **Target**: It targets `main` directly, **not** your `edburns/1682-java-tool-ergonomics` feature branch. - -3. **Overlap**: It reimplements essentially the entire Epic #1682 scope in one monolithic 3,304-line PR — `@CopilotTool`, `@Param`, `CopilotToolProcessor`, `SchemaGenerator`, `CopilotToolMetadataProvider`, `fromObject()`/`fromClass()` — all things you've been building incrementally across multiple PRs. - -4. **Session**: Copilot session `75b862f5-4cc7-4a49-a394-f30da4c54a8d` — you can check what issue triggered it. - -**Most likely scenario**: Someone (possibly you, or a Copilot auto-assignment rule) assigned Copilot to an issue that described the tool ergonomics problem broadly. Copilot SWE Agent then independently produced this PR without knowledge of your existing branch/epic work. - -You already commented on it noting the entanglement with #1682. Given it targets `main` and duplicates your incremental work, it's likely best to close it. - -### 14:31 Prompt - -I'm curious about the interaction of spotless with the generated code such as this: - -``` -src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java -``` - -I had to run `mvn spotless:apply` to get this to the point where it could be committed. However, is it appropriate for this to be committed to git? Or is it generated by the test? - -### 14:35 Response - -Updated todo list - -Searched for files matching `**/ErgonomicTestTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java`, 1 match - -Read [](file:///Users/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools%24%24CopilotToolMeta.java#1-1), lines 1 to 50 - -Now let me check whether the annotation processor is enabled for test compilation: - -Searched for text `proc` (`**/java/pom.xml`), 3 results - -Read [](file:///Users/edburns/workareas/copilot-sdk/java/pom.xml#160-160), lines 160 to 180 - -The answer is clear: - -**This file IS a hand-written test fixture and SHOULD be committed.** The first line says it explicitly: - -```java -// Hand-written test fixture mimicking CopilotToolProcessor output. -``` - -The annotation processor is **disabled** for both main and test compilation (`none` in the compiler plugin). This means no `$$CopilotToolMeta` classes are ever auto-generated during the build. All of them — both under `src/test/java/.../fixtures/` and `src/test/java/.../e2e/` — are hand-written fixtures that simulate what the processor would produce. - -So yes, it's appropriate to commit it. Running `spotless:apply` on it is correct — it's source code that lives in `src/test/java`, not generated output in `target/`. - -### 14:46 Prompt - -Examine `java/20260624-1435-job-logs.txt`. This is the output of running the tests on Java 25 and 17.

Line 286 generates `invocation.getArgumentsAs(TypeName.class)` which uses an unconfigured ObjectMapper internally.

Here's why: - -1. **The scope is non-trivial** — you'd need parsing validation for `int/long/float/double/short/byte/boolean` (and boxed variants), enum constant name checking, and deciding what to do with types you can't validate at compile time (`OffsetDateTime`, custom types, records). - -2. **It's not a correctness bug** — the current behavior already fails fast. If you put `defaultValue="abc"` on an `int`, the generated code will either fail to compile (if the processor emits a literal) or throw at runtime (if it emits a parse call). The issue is just *where* the error message points. - -3. **The `required=true` + `defaultValue` conflict check you already have** covers the most common user mistake. Type-mismatch in a default value is a rarer scenario. - -4. **Other annotation processors** (Dagger, MapStruct, immutables) generally don't validate string-typed annotation defaults against target types — they rely on the generated code failing to compile. - -If you agree, I can file an issue for it.

Let me explain: - -You're right that you merged PR #1779 into the base before assigning #1762 to Copilot. The fork point confirms this — Copilot's first "Initial plan" commit (`f1c08972`) has parent `1aae0dff` (your prompt commit), which comes **after** `f3e1cac6` (#1779 merge). So Copilot started from the correct base. - -The conflict came from **your review fixes on this branch** (`edburns/review-copilot-pr-1787`), not from Copilot's work. Specifically: - -- `49d7bef1` (ObjectMapper fix) and `f8f7f4ac` (Optional types fix) modified CopilotToolProcessor.java -- `d945f9c1` (Javadoc fix) modified ToolDefinitionFromObjectTest.java - -These commits were authored on this branch but were modifying files that were also modified in `f3e1cac6` (#1779 merge) on the base. Before the rebase, this branch's history included the **pre-merge** versions of those files from the old `copilot/edburns1682-java-tool-ergonomics` ref (commits `d44c2b2e`, `4d7efa0e`, etc. — the unmerged PR #1779 commits). Git saw two different commit histories touching the same lines and flagged conflicts. - -**TL;DR**: The PR branch still carried the raw PR #1779 commits in its history (not the squash-merged version `f3e1cac6`). Those duplicate-but-different commits on both sides of the merge are what triggered the conflict. The rebase correctly eliminated them. - -### 16:28 Prompt - -Is this an accurate way to explain what happened: - -During the work in PR #1787, we revisited some of the work done in PR #1779. This revisiting was detected as a conflict, even though there were no modifications to the base branch during the work in PR #1787. - -### 16:30 Response - -Updated todo list - - -Yes, that's accurate and much more concise than my explanation. The review fixes on PR #1787 modified the same files that PR #1779's squash-merge had already placed on the base — Git saw two different commit lineages touching the same lines and called it a conflict, even though the base itself didn't change after PR #1787 was forked. - - diff --git a/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/add-tests-that-use-low_level_tool_definition.yaml.md b/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/add-tests-that-use-low_level_tool_definition.yaml.md deleted file mode 100644 index b60937cd2d..0000000000 --- a/1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/add-tests-that-use-low_level_tool_definition.yaml.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,151 +0,0 @@ -## Goal - -Port the Java integration test behavior from: - -- `java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/LowLevelToolDefinitionIT.java` -- test method: `lowLevelToolDefinition` -- snapshot: `test/snapshots/tools/low_level_tool_definition.yaml` - -to the following non-Java SDKs, using each language's native E2E test infrastructure: - -1. `dotnet` -2. `go` -3. `nodejs` -4. `python` -5. `rust` - -The new/updated tests in each language must use the **same snapshot scenario** (`tools/low_level_tool_definition`) and validate the same behavior. - ---- - -## Required test behavior to port - -From a test perspective, replicate this behavior: - -1.

Two options: - -| Option | Location | Trade-off | -|--------|----------|-----------| -| A | `com.github.copilot.rpc` (alongside `ToolDefinition`) | Keeps everything together but the `rpc` package is already dense (40+ classes). | -| B | New package `com.github.copilot.tool` | Cleaner separation; the `tool` package holds annotations, processor, and `ToolDefinition.fromObject()`. But `ToolDefinition` itself stays in `rpc` (it's a JSON-RPC type). | - -**Recommendation:** Option B — new `com.github.copilot.tool` package for annotations + processor + schema generation. `ToolDefinition` stays in `rpc` and gets a new static method `fromObject(Object)` that delegates to `tool` package internals. - -**Action:** Decide; update `module-info.java` exports if new package is added. - -**Resolution:** Select Option B. - -### 3.2 — `@CopilotTool` annotation design - -**Question:** What attributes does `@CopilotTool` need? - -Based on ADR-005 and the C#/langchain4j comparisons: - -```java -@Documented -@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE) // only needed at compile time for processor -@Target(ElementType.METHOD) -@CopilotExperimental -public @interface CopilotTool { - /** Tool description (sent to the model). */ - String value(); - - /** Tool name.

Should `@CopilotTool` have `@Retention(SOURCE)` (processor-only, like Dagger) or `RUNTIME` (fallback reflection path, like langchain4j)? ADR-005 says "compile-time preferred, runtime fallback" — if we want a fallback path, we need `RUNTIME`. If we commit to processor-only, `SOURCE` is sufficient. - -2. Is `ToolDefer` (the defer config from `ToolDefinition`) needed on the annotation, or is that too niche for v1? - -**Recommendation:** Start with `RUNTIME` retention so the reflection fallback works. Defer `ToolDefer` support to a follow-up. - -**Resolution:** Select `RUNTIME` and `ToolDefer` support. - -### 3.3 — `@Param` annotation design - -**Question:** What attributes does `@Param` need? - -```java -@Documented -@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) -@Target(ElementType.PARAMETER) -public @interface Param { - /** Parameter description (sent to the model). */ - String value() default ""; - - /** Parameter name override.

This is different from langchain4j which does it at runtime. - -**Spike needed:** Write a small proof-of-concept that maps `TypeMirror` → JSON Schema `Map` literal in generated source code. The tricky cases are: -- Enum constants (processor can see them via `ElementKind.ENUM_CONSTANT`) -- Generic type arguments on `List` (processor sees them via `DeclaredType.getTypeArguments()`) -- Recursive/nested records (need `$defs` or just go one level deep for v1) - -**Recommendation:** Start with the flat types (primitives, String, enums) and `List`. Defer nested records and polymorphic types to a follow-up. - -**Resolution:** - -Here's the **maximum viable set** derived from every type actually used across `com.github.copilot.rpc` and `com.github.copilot.generated.rpc`: - -| Java type | JSON Schema | SDK usage examples | -|-----------|-------------|-------------------| -| `String` | `{"type": "string"}` | Pervasive (IDs, names, paths, messages) | -| `int`, `Integer` | `{"type": "integer"}` | `ProviderConfig`, `ModelLimits`, `McpServerConfig` | -| `long`, `Long` | `{"type": "integer"}` | Timestamps in hook inputs, JSON-RPC IDs | -| `double`, `Double` | `{"type": "number"}` | `ModelBilling.multiplier`, `InfiniteSessionConfig` thresholds | -| `float`, `Float` | `{"type": "number"}` | Not used in SDK today, but natural complement | -| `boolean`, `Boolean` | `{"type": "boolean"}` | Extensively in `SessionConfig`, hook outputs, options | -| `String[]` | `{"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}` | `CopilotClientOptions.cliArgs` | -| `enum` types | `{"type": "string", "enum": ["V1", ...]}` | 92 enums (`ToolDefer`, `AgentMode`, 85 generated) | -| `UUID` | `{"type": "string", "format": "uuid"}` | Generated record ID fields | -| `OffsetDateTime` | `{"type": "string", "format": "date-time"}` | Generated record timestamp fields | -| `JsonNode` | `{}` (any) | `ToolInvocation.argumentsNode`, hook args/results | -| `Object` | `{}` (any) | `ToolDefinition.parameters`, `JsonRpcRequest.params` | -| `List`, `Collection` | `{"type": "array", "items": }` | 50+ distinct `T` across the API | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "string"}}` | `ProviderConfig.headers`, env maps | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "boolean"}}` | Generated records | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "integer"}}` | Generated records | -| `Map` | `{"type": "object"}` (opaque) | `ToolInvocation.getArguments()`, telemetry, extensionData | -| `Map` (typed `T`) | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": }` | `Map`, `Map`, etc. | -| `Map>` | `{"type": "object", "additionalProperties": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}}` | Generated records | -| Records / POJOs | `{"type": "object", "properties": {...}, "required": [...]}` | ~690 types (26 handwritten records, ~65 POJOs, ~600 generated) | -| Sealed / `@JsonSubTypes` | `{"oneOf": [...]}` with discriminator | `McpServerConfig`, `MessageAttachment`, `SlashCommandInvocationResult` | -| `Optional` | Schema of `T`, not in `required` array | `Optional` in `SessionConfig` | -| `OptionalInt` | `{"type": "integer"}`, not in `required` | `CopilotClientOptions.getSessionIdleTimeoutSeconds()` | -| `OptionalDouble` | `{"type": "number"}`, not in `required` | `ModelBilling.getMultiplierOpt()` | - -**Types intentionally excluded** (not sensible as tool parameter types): - -| Java type | Reason | -|-----------|--------| -| `CompletableFuture` | Return type only, not a parameter type | -| `Consumer`, `Supplier`, `Function`, `Executor` | Callback/functional types, not serializable | -| `ObjectMapper`, `TypeReference` | Infrastructure, not data | - -The minimum viable set from the plan covers 8 rows. This maximum viable set covers **23 rows** — adding `String[]`, `UUID`, `OffsetDateTime`, `JsonNode`/`Object` (any), typed `Map` variants, sealed/polymorphic types, and `Optional` variants. These all have established Jackson serialization semantics in the existing SDK. - -### 3.5 — Generated code shape - -**Question:** What exactly does the processor generate? - -ADR-005 proposes: - -```java -// GENERATED — do not edit -final class MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta { - static List definitions(MyTools instance) { - return List.of( - new ToolDefinition("set_current_phase", "Sets the current phase", - Map.of("type", "object", - "properties", Map.of("phase", Map.of("type", "string", - "description", "The phase to transition to")), - "required", List.of("phase")), - invocation -> { - String phase = (String) invocation.getArguments().get("phase"); - return CompletableFuture.completedFuture( - instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)); - }, null, null, null) - ); - } -} -``` - -**Open questions:** - -1. **Method invocation in generated code:** The generated lambda calls `instance.setCurrentPhase(phase)` directly — no reflection at runtime. But this requires the method to be accessible (not private). What access levels do we support? langchain4j uses `method.setAccessible(true)` at runtime. We'd need to either: - - Require `public` or package-private methods, OR - - Generate a helper that uses `MethodHandles.Lookup` to access private methods (complex), OR - - Just require non-private. - - **Recommendation:** Require at least package-private. The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class is in the same package, so package-private and above work. Emit a compile error for `private` methods annotated with `@CopilotTool`. - -2. **Return type handling:** What does the generated code do with the method's return value? - - | Return type | Generated behavior | - |-------------|-------------------| - | `String` | Wrap in `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(result)` | - | `CompletableFuture` | Use as-is (native async) | - | `CompletableFuture` | `.thenApply(objectMapper::writeValueAsString)` | - | `void` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Success")` | - | Other `T` | JSON-serialize via Jackson `ObjectMapper` | - - **Recommendation:** Support `String`, `void`, `CompletableFuture`, and `CompletableFuture` for v1. Other return types get JSON-serialized (since Jackson is already a dependency). - -3. **Argument deserialization in generated code:** How does the generated lambda extract and coerce arguments? - - For simple types, the generated code can cast directly from the `Map` returned by `invocation.getArguments()`: - ```java - String city = (String) invocation.getArguments().get("city"); - int count = ((Number) invocation.getArguments().get("count")).intValue(); - ``` - - For complex types (records, enums), use `invocation.getArgumentsAs()` or Jackson's `ObjectMapper.convertValue()`: - ```java - Phase phase = objectMapper.convertValue(invocation.getArguments().get("phase"), Phase.class); - ``` - - **Recommendation:** Generate direct casts for primitives/String, and `ObjectMapper.convertValue()` for enums, records, and complex types. The `ObjectMapper` instance can come from a static field in the generated class. - -**Resolution:** - -The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class produces lambdas identical to what `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT` writes by hand. Decisions: - -1. **Access levels:** Require at least package-private. The generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` lives in the same package as the user's class, so package-private and above work without reflection. Emit a compile error for `private` methods annotated with `@CopilotTool`. - -2. **Return type handling:** - - | Return type | Generated code | - |-------------|----------------| - | `String` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(instance.method(...))` | - | `CompletableFuture` | `instance.method(...)` (use as-is) | - | `void` | `instance.method(...); return CompletableFuture.completedFuture("Success")` | - | `CompletableFuture` (non-String) | `instance.method(...).thenApply(objectMapper::writeValueAsString)` | - | Other `T` | `CompletableFuture.completedFuture(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(instance.method(...)))` | - -3. **Argument deserialization:** Follow the two patterns proven in `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT`: - - **Simple types** (`String`, primitives, boxed): generate direct cast from `invocation.getArguments().get("name")` (e.g., `(String) args.get("city")`, `((Number) args.get("count")).intValue()`). - - **Complex types** (enums, records, POJOs): generate `objectMapper.convertValue(invocation.getArguments().get("name"), TargetType.class)`. - - **Single-record-parameter shortcut:** When a method has exactly one parameter that is a record/POJO (matching the full argument set), generate `invocation.getArgumentsAs(RecordType.class)` — the same pattern `LowLevelToolDefinitionIT.setPhaseTool` uses. - - The `ObjectMapper` instance: use a `private static final` field in the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class, initialized from `com.github.copilot.rpc.RpcMapper.INSTANCE` (already exists in the SDK). - -### 3.6 — `ToolDefinition.fromObject(Object)` registration API - -**Question:** How does the user get from "an object with `@CopilotTool` methods" to a `List`? - -```java -// Primary API — loads generated $$CopilotToolMeta class -List tools = ToolDefinition.fromObject(myToolsInstance); - -// Variant: from class (for static tools) -List tools = ToolDefinition.fromClass(MyTools.class); -``` - -**Implementation:** - -```java -public static List fromObject(Object instance) { - Class clazz = instance.getClass(); - String metaClassName = clazz.getName() + "$$CopilotToolMeta"; - try { - Class metaClass = Class.forName(metaClassName); - Method defs = metaClass.getMethod("definitions", clazz); - return (List) defs.invoke(null, instance); - } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { - // Fallback: runtime reflection (if we support it) - return fromObjectReflective(instance); - } -} -``` - -**Open question:** Do we want the reflection fallback? It's nice for users who don't run the processor (e.g., scripting, prototyping), but it adds code and the `-parameters` concern. - -**Recommendation:** Implement the reflection fallback but mark it `@CopilotExperimental` separately. The primary path is the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta`. - -**Resolution:** we only want the processor approach. - -### 3.7 — `module-info.java` impact - -The SDK uses JPMS. The processor generates classes into the user's module, not the SDK's. But `fromObject()` uses `Class.forName()` which needs the generated class to be accessible. - -**Question:** Does the generated `$$CopilotToolMeta` class in the user's module need to be exported for `fromObject()` to find it? - -**Answer:** No. `Class.forName()` with the caller's classloader works within the same module. And in the typical unnamed-module (classpath) case, everything is accessible. If the user has a named module, the generated class is in the same package as their tools class, so it's accessible. - -**Action:** Verify this works in a simple named-module test. - -**Resolution:** - -See `1682-java-tool-ergonomics-prompts-remove-before-merge/dd3021192/pom.xml` and files - -``` -src/main/java/com/github/dd3021192/MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java -src/main/java/com/github/dd3021192/MyTools.java -src/main/java/com/github/dd3021192/Main.java -``` - -For verificiation. - -### 3.8 — Processor registration - -**Question:** How is the new `@CopilotTool` processor registered alongside `CopilotExperimentalProcessor`? - -The existing `META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor` lists `CopilotExperimentalProcessor`. Add the new processor to the same file: - -``` -com.github.copilot.CopilotExperimentalProcessor -com.github.copilot.tool.CopilotToolProcessor -``` - -And in `module-info.java`: -```java -provides javax.annotation.processing.Processor - with CopilotExperimentalProcessor, CopilotToolProcessor; -``` - -**Resolution:** **No issues expected here** — this is standard JSR 269 multi-processor registration. - ---- - -## Phase 4 — Implementation (the build order) - -After Phase 3 questions are resolved, implement in this order.

Changes included: - CopilotToolProcessor: resolve @CopilotTool elements via TypeElement lookup and reuse that element list through validation and generation passes, making annotation discovery robust across compiler/module contexts. - CopilotToolProcessorTest: force annotation processing in the in-memory compile harness (-proc:full, explicit processor), close the file manager with try-with-resources, and add a collecting forwarding file manager that captures generated source content from getJavaFileForOutput to avoid missing generated CopilotToolMeta classes in tests. - CopilotSessionTest#testShouldGetLastSessionId: add bounded retry for session creation (including timeout and execution-timeout-cause handling) to absorb transient startup delays while preserving failure behavior on persistent errors. Result: - CopilotToolProcessorTest now consistently observes generated CopilotToolMeta output and passes. - The full requested Maven workflow (jacoco prepare/report + surefire + failsafe under Java 17, with prior Java 25 compile) completes successfully. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Spotless * Avoid leaking session. The retry on session creation uses `future.get(timeout)` but does not cancel the in-flight `createSession` future when a timeout occurs. If attempt 1 eventually completes after attempt 2 starts, it can leave an orphaned session registered in the client (and potentially race `getLastSessionId` persistence), reintroducing flakiness and leaking resources. Capture the future and cancel it on timeout before retrying.
