Closes #1824.

This PR is ready for review. Maintainer approval and issue assignment are pending.

Description

Fix the execute_command schema sent by ZooCode's dedicated NanoGPT integration so that only command is required. cwd and timeout remain available but can be omitted.

Zoo's command executor accepts these omissions. Its strict tool schema nevertheless requires both fields. The NanoGPT adapter disables strict generation but retains that required list, so a model response without timeout can be rejected before Zoo receives it.

Anonymized Example

A reported failure included command and cwd, but omitted timeout. A simplified equivalent, not the original command:

{"command":"printf example","cwd":null}

The existing declaration requires ["command", "cwd", "timeout"]. The revised NanoGPT declaration requires only ["command"], allowing the same arguments through unchanged without inserting timeout: null.

Implementation

  • Add a command schema factory with strict behavior preserved by default.
  • Select its non-strict form when building tools for the dedicated NanoGPT integration.
  • Preserve parameter types, descriptions and explicit values.
  • Keep the existing schemas for other integrations, native tools, MCP tools and custom tools.
  • Copy nullable property definitions before strict conversion, preventing an earlier request from mutating the shared schema used by a later NanoGPT request. Converted output remains unchanged.

No server-side changes or response argument rewriting. Command approvals, execution behavior and user-configured timeouts are unchanged. This is a focused command-execution reliability fix, not a general nullable-field schema rewrite.

Review Follow-ups

  • Use a private constant for the command's required fields, copying it into each generated list. Tests retain literal expectations so an incorrect implementation change cannot also change the expected result.
  • Use vitest.stubEnv and vitest.unstubAllEnvs to establish a predictable test environment and restore the original presence or value of ROO_CLI_RUNTIME after each test.
  • Add two regressions for source-schema mutation, including strict conversion followed by NanoGPT schema construction. Both failed before the converter fix and passed afterward.

Test Procedure

From the repository root with the existing workspace dependencies installed:

pnpm --dir src exec vitest run api/providers/__tests__/base-provider.spec.ts core/prompts/tools/native-tools/__tests__/execute_command.spec.ts core/task/__tests__/build-tools.spec.ts api/providers/__tests__/nanogpt.spec.ts core/assistant-message/__tests__/NativeToolCallParser.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/executeCommandTool.spec.ts --maxWorkers=2
pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 api/providers/base-provider.ts api/providers/__tests__/base-provider.spec.ts api/providers/__tests__/nanogpt.spec.ts core/assistant-message/__tests__/NativeToolCallParser.spec.ts core/prompts/tools/native-tools/__tests__/execute_command.spec.ts core/prompts/tools/native-tools/execute_command.ts core/prompts/tools/native-tools/index.ts core/task/__tests__/build-tools.spec.ts core/task/build-tools.ts core/tools/__tests__/executeCommandTool.spec.ts
pnpm --dir src run check-types
  • All 139 tests across the six affected suites passed, including explicit working-directory preservation, strict public defaults, and source-schema preservation.
  • Another 589 tests passed across 15 related integration suites; one test was skipped. These were targeted checks, not the full repository suite.
  • The 32 executor tests also passed with ROO_CLI_RUNTIME=1 inherited from the test process.
  • ESLint passed for the changed files; suppression counts are unchanged. The commit hook passed all 11 workspace lint tasks.
  • Formatting and TypeScript checking passed. The repository pre-push hook also passed all 11 workspace type-check tasks.
  • Separately, 30 deterministic NanoGPT stream-handler cases passed, comparing the original and revised schemas with synthetic responses. The original schema rejects omitted required fields; the revised schema forwards the same arguments unchanged. Explicit null and numeric timeout controls succeed. This server-side harness is external to this PR, not an extension end-to-end test.

Environment: pnpm 10.8.1, Vitest 4.1.11, Node 22.22.1. The repository specifies Node 22.23.1, so commands emitted an engine warning.

Pre-Submission Checklist

  • Issue approved and assigned by maintainers.
  • Scope is limited to the reproduced command schema mismatch and preserving that schema across requests.
  • Implementation and diff reviewed.
  • Regression tests added and affected suites run.
  • Documentation impact considered.
  • Contribution guidelines read.

Documentation Updates

No user-facing documentation updates required. No UI changes.

Additional Notes

Only Zoo's dedicated NanoGPT integration receives the revised required-field list. Generic API-compatible configurations and already-installed releases are unchanged. The shared converter now leaves source schemas intact while producing the same converted output.

A full extension end-to-end run and confirmation from the affected user remain outstanding. This PR does not claim to resolve every tool-call failure.

Implementation and tests were AI-assisted, with separate reviews. Local automated checks above passed; maintainer review is still required.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • NanoGPT command execution now accepts a command without a working directory or timeout. Other providers continue to require these parameters.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Command arguments, including omitted or null timeouts and working directories, are preserved when passed to tools.
    • When a timeout is omitted or null and the CLI runtime is unavailable, command execution uses the default wait time.

Walkthrough

The execute_command tool now supports configurable strictness. NanoGPT uses a non-strict schema that requires only command; other providers retain the strict schema. Tests cover schema generation, provider selection, and command argument handling.

Changes

NanoGPT command schema

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configurable command schema
src/core/prompts/tools/native-tools/execute_command.ts, src/core/prompts/tools/native-tools/__tests__/execute_command.spec.ts
The command tool factory creates strict or non-strict schemas. Strict mode requires command, cwd, and timeout; non-strict mode requires only command. Tests check that generated schemas do not mutate the default schema.
Provider-specific schema selection
src/core/prompts/tools/native-tools/index.ts, src/core/task/build-tools.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/build-tools.spec.ts, src/api/providers/__tests__/nanogpt.spec.ts
Tool generation disables strict command schemas for NanoGPT and retains strict schemas for other providers. Tests cover provider-specific schemas, MCP tool fields, and NanoGPT request arguments.
Command argument handling
src/core/assistant-message/__tests__/NativeToolCallParser.spec.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/executeCommandTool.spec.ts
Parser tests check omitted, null, and numeric timeout values. Executor tests check that null and undefined timeouts resolve to zero outside CLI runtime.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bb6b2

NanoGPT can omit cwd and timeout, with the executor applying its existing behavior. The reviewed request paths use the relaxed schema, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to bb6b2

Commands that omit optional arguments can now reach the existing approval flow. The change does not appear to remove execution controls, but the complete provider-to-execution path was not validated end to end.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Model-generated commands lacking cwd or timeout can now pass the NanoGPT declaration and reach the existing command-approval boundary. The change does not make the tool available to additional providers.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Execution remains behind command checks and approval; rejection returns before terminal submission.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Omitted optional fields use the executor's existing working-directory and timeout handling; generated non-strict schemas do not share a mutable required-field list.

Two minor follow-ups on the latest revision: one small test-isolation concern and one maintainability nit.

This new test deletes the ROO_CLI_RUNTIME environment variable but never puts it back, so the change can leak into other tests that run afterward in the same worker — can we save and restore it (or add an afterEach cleanup) to keep tests isolated?

Fixed in 088906f. The suite now uses vitest.stubEnv and vitest.unstubAllEnvs, preserving both an originally absent variable and an existing value. Each test starts outside CLI mode unless it explicitly enables it. All 32 executor tests pass with ROO_CLI_RUNTIME=1 inherited as well as in the normal run.

...executeCommand.function.parameters,

The rule "non-strict mode only requires command" is written as a hard-coded list here, so a future field addition has to update this line by hand to stay correct — would it help to name a single ["command"] constant that both this factory and its test share?

Addressed in 088906f with a private REQUIRED_COMMAND_PARAMETERS constant, copied into both strict and non-strict required lists. I kept literal expectations in the tests rather than importing the production constant, so an accidental change to the required fields still fails the regression tests.
