ToolCallSupport

@ApiStatus.Internal

Shared utility functions for Tool implementations that invoke methods via reflection.

Centralises JSON argument parsing, return value serialisation, and parameter type coercion so that MethodTool and other reflective tool implementations share a single, tested implementation.

Functions

convertResult

fun convertResult(result: Any?, objectMapper: <Error class: unknown class>): Tool.Result

Converts a method return value to a Tool.Result.

convertToType

fun convertToType(value: Any, targetType: Type, objectMapper: <Error class: unknown class>, logger: <Error class: unknown class>): Any

Coerces value (typically from a JSON parse) to targetType.

parseArguments

fun parseArguments(input: String, objectMapper: <Error class: unknown class>, logger: <Error class: unknown class>): Map<String, Any?>

Parses a JSON input string into a name→value map. Returns an empty map if input is blank or cannot be parsed.
