Tool Forge: A Validation-Carrying Toolchain for Governed Agentic Execution
A recent publication on arXiv presents Tool Forge, a toolchain designed to carry validation that transforms natural-language capability intentions into governed, sandbox-verified, and cataloged tool artifacts specifically for large language model agents. This system conceptualizes a tool as a capsule that encompasses intent, capability contracts, implementation details, dependency policies, tests, documentation, runtime validation evidence, lifecycle states, credential bindings, and routing metadata. Additionally, it includes a Router that offers intent-scoped tool sessions, eliminating the need to load complete catalog schemas into the model. The full paper can be found at arXiv:2605.28000.
Key facts
- Tool Forge is a validation-carrying toolchain for converting natural-language capability intent into governed tool artifacts.
- It is designed for large language model agents performing operational work like calling APIs and manipulating files.
- The toolchain includes sandbox verification and cataloging of tool artifacts.
- A tool is defined as a capsule containing intent, capability contract, implementation, dependency policy, tests, documentation, runtime validation evidence, lifecycle state, credential bindings, and routing metadata.
- The Router exposes intent-scoped tool sessions rather than full catalog schemas.
- The paper is published on arXiv with ID 2605.28000.
- The approach aims to move beyond hand-written integration artifacts or static schema lists.
- The system supports governed agentic execution in enterprise systems.
