What does this PR do?

Why

Every model request carries the tool definitions and the skill listing inside the cached prompt prefix. On the ADE-Bench dbt tasks the control build sends 93 tools (a 112 KB tool block) and the first request is 61.6k tokens, while the sessions call a handful of tools (bash, read, edit, grep, glob, question: no session in 38 called any of the 30 tools the rule below hides). The skill listing is sent twice, and it grows with every installed skill. An offline replay of 697 earlier sessions suggested the same, and said there was no way for the agent to obtain a tool it was not offered. This PR makes two independent changes, each behind its own switch, in two commits.

Root cause

Not a defect; a design change. What I found on current main when checking the replay's premises:

• The skill listing is in the system prompt as well as in the skill tool description. The system-prompt copy has no limit (name, description and a file URL per skill: 38.4k tokens at 300 skills, 6.6k at 50). The tool copy stops at 50 skills, so skill 51 onward is not listed anywhere the model can see.
• tool_lookup still only describes a tool; nothing makes an unoffered tool callable.
• An older per-turn lexical filter (ALTIMATE_TOOL_RETRIEVAL=1, off by default) exists. It changes the list with the user's text each turn, which rewrites the cache, so it is not reused. It is skipped for a session that has the new router.

What changed

A. Bounded skill listing (experimental.bounded_skill_listing, env ALTIMATE_BOUNDED_SKILL_LISTING; default ON). One renderer for both listings: deterministic order (embedded skills first, then by name), a token budget (system prompt 2,500, tool description 1,000, estimated at 4 characters per token), one line per skill (name: description, no URL), descriptions kept as long as the budget allows (400/160 characters for the system prompt, 160/70 for the tool), then names only, then "N more installed skills (M in total)". Passing a keyword as the skill name searches every installed skill the agent may use (names, descriptions, Unicode-aware, exact name first) and lists matches with full names, so a skill that is not shown is found, then loaded by its exact name.

B. Smaller default tool list with a path to the rest (experimental.smaller_tool_list, env ALTIMATE_SMALLER_TOOL_LIST; default OFF). A rule decided once per session, without a model, from project facts: a dbt_project.yml (in the session folder, up to three folders below it, or in a parent up to the worktree) or *.sql within three folders, a configured warehouse (a usable entry in a connections file or in ALTIMATE_CODE_CONN_*), saved memory. Always offered: the core tools, every tool this rule does not know (plugin, MCP, custom, new built-ins), any tool the default instructions, the shipped setup and feedback commands, the workspace identity section or the agent's own prompt name, and a user's own tool that shares a built-in's name. Optional groups (finops, roles, governance, schema utilities, product admin, ...) not matching the project are reached through one fixed tool_run({name, arguments}) tool whose description lists them by group. tool_run applies the agent's and the session's permission rules and per-message toggles when the list is built and again when a tool is called (a tool the rules deny for every resource is refused, whether offered directly or reached through the router, using the same whole-tool evaluation as PermissionNext.evaluate(name, "*"); the tool's own prompts are raised by the same wrapper as for a direct call), runs the real tool through its own wrapper (validation, permission asks, plugin hooks, source stamping), and returns the tool's parameters when its arguments are invalid. A call the model addresses straight to a hidden tool is rerouted to tool_run in the AI SDK repair hook instead of failing (not when the arguments are not a JSON object).

Cache behaviour, exactly. Tool definitions are the first block of the cached prefix (tools, then system, then messages). Changing them re-writes the cache for the whole conversation from the first token. The offered list is a pure function of facts read once at session start and remembered per session, so it is identical on every step and across sessions that start in the same project state (cross-session hits are kept). A hidden tool is never added to the list: it is called through tool_run, whose definition does not change, so using one costs zero invalidations. Adding the tool to the list at the next step would cost one full re-write of the conversation, billed as cache write instead of cache read (2.75 against 0.22 USD per million tokens in this catalogue: about 0.15 USD for a 60k-token context, plus the latency of an uncached request), once per tool added, and it needs the list to change mid-session, which is the thing the recent tool-order fix removed. The price of tool_run: arguments of a hidden tool are not constrained by the API-level schema; they are validated at execution and the contract is returned on error.

Limits of the cache claim: the decision map lives in the process, so resuming a session in a new process re-reads the facts (if the project changed in between, the list differs and the cache is re-written once); MCP tool order, registry initialisation and tool.definition plugin hooks are unchanged from main and can still vary.

Measured effect

Live run, 38 tasks x 2 arms (a stratified half of the 75 variants, because the full design projected above the budget; see below), one session per task per arm, amazon-bedrock/us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5-5, us-east-1, same binary in both arms, control = both switches 0, treatment = both 1, arms interleaved in time, corrected cost (cached and uncached priced separately).

per session (mean of 38)	control	treatment	paired difference (95% bootstrap over tasks)
first-request input tokens (tools + system listing)	61,555	47,491	-14,065 (-14,194 to -13,978); every pair between -13,978 and -15,623
uncached input	36	36	-1
cache write	57,802	50,678	-7,124 (-22,552 to +8,175)
cache read	1,123,727	906,287	-217,440 (-317,739 to -116,814)
output	5,887	5,880	-7
model steps	15	14	0
corrected cost, USD	0.471	0.404	-0.068 (-0.111 to -0.025), -14%

Cost by class over the 38 sessions: cache read 9.39 -> 7.58 USD, cache write 6.04 -> 5.30, output 2.46 -> 2.46, uncached about 0.003. About 70% of the saving is at the cache-read price, so the dollar effect is modest: about 7 cents per session here. The measured first-request difference (14.1k) is larger than the offline count I made with a fixed tokenizer (tiktoken o200k: 5.1k for the tool block in a dbt project) because the provider's tokenizer is denser on JSON schemas; the tool block went from 93 tools / 112,401 bytes to 64 tools plus tool_run / 78,906 bytes (checked in the trial image against a loopback mock model), and the rest is the skill listing in the system prompt (6k characters shorter). The two switches were on together live, so the split between them is not measured live. A's live effect is small because the image has only embedded skills.

Offline, skill listing (tiktoken, tool description + system prompt): one embedded skill 451 -> 318 tokens; 50 skills 13,422 -> 3,399; 300 skills 45,173 -> 4,662 (the bounded listing is capped by the budget, so it stays near 5k tokens however many skills are installed).
Offline, tool definitions in the project states the rule distinguishes (all 93 tools = 20.5k tokens by the same tokenizer): dbt project 75% kept, no project signal 56%, warehouse only 82%, dbt + warehouse + memory 94% (these are for the tested build; at this branch's head altimate_memory_read, altimate_memory_write, project_scan, warehouse_add, feedback_submit and mcp_discover, which instructions and shipped commands name, are offered directly, so the same states keep roughly 80% to 83%, 71%, 88% and 94%; I did not recount after the last change).

Passes: control 26/38, treatment 27/38; paired difference +2.6 points (95% bootstrap -5.3 to +13.2); better on 2 tasks, same on 35, worse on 1. One trial per task per arm cannot detect a small change in pass rate; with 3 discordant tasks this says "no large loss on these tasks", not "no effect".

• The one control-pass / treatment-fail task, airbnb007.base: both arms received the same false validator alarm (No dbt_project.yml found at .../dbt_packages/..., a defect fixed in a separate branch and not on main), both used only bash; control reported it could not reproduce and passed, treatment ended on a different explanation (a "could not be tested" validator message) and failed. No tool, skill or tool_run was involved; this is validator noise plus run-to-run variation.
• Control fail / treatment pass: airbnb005.base, f1010.medium (no tool_run in either).
• Treatment sessions that asked for a tool that was not offered: 0 of 38. tool_run calls: 0. Rerouted direct calls: 0. In control, no session called any tool the rule hides, and 2 sessions tried a tool that does not exist (altimate-dbt, a shell command), 0 in treatment. Skill tool calls and errors: 0 in both arms.
• Because no comparison session needed an unoffered tool, the path was exercised separately by 3 real-model probe sessions in the treatment configuration with prompts that need a hidden tool (not part of the comparison): the model called tool_run for altimate_core_import_ddl; found altimate_core_classify_pii for a PII question through tool_lookup then tool_run; and used tool_run in the middle of a bash/read sequence. Cache write on the steps after the tool_run call was 474, 199, 279, 87, 392 and 897 tokens (the first request wrote 47.5k): no re-write of the conversation.
• Cache write above 20% of a step's input from step 3 on: 4 steps in control, 4 in treatment, none in a session that used tool_run.

Spend: 35.9 USD of the 60 USD budget (76 counted sessions and 3 probes 33.5 USD, an aborted first start 2.4 USD). Cut rule applied from the first 5 completed sessions (0.49 USD each projected 73 USD for 150): every other task by name within each family, 38 tasks per arm. One infrastructure rerun (tl-ctl-00, killed a minute in by a cleanup command of my own helper agent), disclosed; its partner ran earlier, so that pair is not interleaved in time. The aborted first start (5 sessions, only their cost was looked at) was stopped because the independent review found defects in the build; it is excluded.

Defaults, and why

• A (bounded skill listing) ON: offline tests show every skill stays findable and loadable with hundreds installed; live there was no skill error and no skill-related failure.
• B (smaller tool list) OFF. My pre-registered rule (paired difference not negative, interval excludes a 10-point loss, no control-pass/treatment-fail attributable to B) was met on its letter. I am not applying it, deliberately toward the safer default: no live session needed a tool outside the list, so the run cannot show that the path costs nothing in tasks that need it (the three probes show it works, not how often models take it unprompted), the interval rests on 3 discordant tasks of 38, and the benchmark is one kind of work. Turning it on is one setting; the numbers above are what it buys on dbt work.

What no longer holds from the replay write-up (on current main)

• 92 tools: 93 offered plus invalid (workspaces on by default add altimate_memory_refresh).
• "The skill tool description lists every installed skill": it is capped at 50 entries (with a "Showing 50 of N" note); the uncapped copy is in the system prompt, which the write-up did not look at and which is the bigger one.
• Token counts from a fixed tokenizer undercount what the provider bills for tool JSON (see above); the fingerprint rule keeps 63% in the replay, this rule keeps 75% in a dbt project because it also keeps tools the instructions name.

How did you verify your code works?

Unit

• test/altimate/skill-listing.test.ts (20 tests): stays under budget for 1 to 1000 skills, size stops growing, identical output for any discovery order, every skill found by searching its own name (including 20 skills that tokenise identically and a non-ASCII keyword), surrogate-safe truncation, wrapper tags neutralised, adaptive description length, tool and system listings through the real SkillTool and SystemPrompt.skills with 300 and 500 installed skills, a skill hidden by the budget discovered by keyword then loaded, switch on/off.
• test/altimate/tool-selection.test.ts (27 tests): core tools present in every project state; the instruction packs' tool names are offered in every state; the tool block (descriptions and schemas, not only names) is identical across steps and across two sessions in the same project state; the decision is made once and shared by concurrent callers; a hidden tool can be run through tool_run with the same result as calling it; permissions (including an allow-list agent and a user's own tool named tool_run); non-object arguments and malformed JSON are not turned into defaults; rerouted direct calls; historical entries; project facts (dbt in a subfolder, large folder, dependency folders).
• The existing skill and system tests that pin the unbounded format run with the switch off.
• Each new group of tests was checked to fail without the change (mutations: memo removed, switch ignored, budget raised to a million tokens: 1, 7 and 3 tests failed).
• bun run typecheck clean; script/upstream/analyze.ts --markers --base main --strict clean; bun test test/altimate/tool-selection.test.ts test/session test/tool test/skill test/config: 2,978 pass, 0 fail. A broader run (also test/altimate, test/permission; 11,000 tests) had 2 failures that pass when run alone (detectDataTools, flushPendingSyncs, timeouts while the machine was loaded by the benchmark); I did not run them on main.

Integration with real components

• The built binary in the real trial image (tarball installed by the real setup script, env from the real agent class) against a loopback mock model: 93 tools in control, 64 plus tool_run in treatment, switches arrive in the launching process (first build; the final build was checked for tool names only).
• The live run above and the 3 probes (real model, real tools).

Live
As above. Not run: other providers or models, other agents (analyst, reviewer) on a real model, the TUI/desktop clients, Windows, a machine with hundreds of real skills, a project that needs several hidden tools in one session, session resume across processes. All live numbers above come from a binary built at 76eb50985f, not from this branch's head. This branch head differs in later review fixes that were not re-measured live: agent-prompt names also kept offered, folder-scan caps and parent search, description-cap accounting, a budget reserve for the skill footer, and six more tools offered directly (altimate_memory_read, altimate_memory_write, project_scan, warehouse_add, feedback_submit, mcp_discover; the tested build hid the memory and feedback ones and no session called any of them), so at head the tool block is about six tool definitions larger than measured and the live token and cost reductions above are slightly overstated for B.

Independent review
Two Codex passes and a fresh Opus reviewer over three rounds. Fixed with tests: allow-list agents losing tool_run, retrieval trimming the router, user tools shadowed by built-in names (files and MCP), stale history stubs, malformed JSON and null arguments run with defaults, a concurrent first-decision race, a process-global warehouse probe, ASCII-only skill search, split surrogate pairs, shallow project probes, instructions naming hidden tools, unused skill budget. One consequence of the call-time check, with the switch on and only for the tools the list rule governs: a tool with a deny for every resource followed by a narrower allow (x: * deny, x: some-pattern allow) is refused entirely, where a direct call today would still reach the tool's own prompt. Bot reviews (Codex, CodeRabbit, cubic, Kilo) led to more fixes with tests: a tool_* or tool_run deny now turns the router off (only the catch-all * is overridden), the decision map is released when a session is deleted, empty and non-object input is not rerouted, search output is neutralised and bounded, the budget reserves room for the footer, self-reexports on the new modules, and test environment overrides are restored. Not changed: MCP tool order and tool.definition hooks (inherited); the decision is not persisted, so a session resumed in a new process re-reads the facts; history stubs for a hidden tool still run that tool (permission-filtered) rather than being inert; the repair-hook wiring is tested through its exported helper rather than through streamText; a malformed tool_run call under a provider that repeats call ids can mis-pair bookkeeping (not reproduced outside an in-memory check).

Checklist

• I have tested my changes locally
• I have not included unrelated changes in this PR

Deployment readiness
Self-contained. No migration, credential or service change. New config keys experimental.bounded_skill_listing and experimental.smaller_tool_list (documented in docs/docs/configure/config.md) and two environment overrides.

Tenant or user impact
Everyone with the default settings sees A: the skill list in the prompt is shorter, one line per skill without the file URL, descriptions cut to a budget, and a keyword search on a missing skill name. Users with few skills keep full descriptions up to 400 characters in the system prompt. Nobody sees B unless they turn it on.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes default prompt shape (skill listings) and optional agent tool exposure, permissions, and LLM repair/reroute paths; mistakes could hide tools or break tool-call history, though defaults keep the smaller list off and tests cover edge cases.

Overview
Adds two independent, flag-gated optimizations to shrink the cached prompt prefix without hiding capabilities.

Bounded skill listing (experimental.bounded_skill_listing, default on) replaces unbounded system-prompt skill text and the skill tool’s 50-entry cap with a shared token-budget renderer (deterministic ordering, descriptions then names-only, footer when truncated). The skill tool accepts keywords in name to search all allowed skills and returns richer “not found” guidance.

Smaller tool list (experimental.smaller_tool_list, default off) picks optional data-engineering tool groups once per session from local project facts (dbt/SQL/warehouse/memory), keeps core, plugin/MCP, and prompt-named tools direct, and routes the rest through a stable tool_run proxy. session/prompt.ts and session/llm.ts wire permissions, skip per-turn retrieval when the router is active, reroute mistaken direct calls to hidden tools, and stub historical tool names via tool_run.

Config schema and docs/docs/configure/config.md document both flags plus ALTIMATE_BOUNDED_SKILL_LISTING / ALTIMATE_SMALLER_TOOL_LIST. Extensive tests cover listing budgets, search, selection rules, and session behavior.

339-350: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Release decisions when sessions are deleted.

decided retains each successful decision for the process lifetime. Session.remove publishes SessionV1.Event.Deleted, which provides a supported cleanup boundary. Clear the matching decision from that event.

Do not add an LRU. The prompt path reuses the session ID for resumed sessions, and the cache contract requires a stable decision while that session exists. The retained value is small, so this remains a low-impact cleanup.

Instance.state initializer and return a disposer that calls it, so the
Session.Event.Deleted listener is removed when that instance is disposed.
- Line 2597: Update the tool selection logic around ToolSelection.TOOL_RUN so
allowed targets are hidden and routed only when the router is permitted; when
tool_run is denied, keep otherwise allowed targets in the direct tools list.

Summary read in full. Critical 1 (router deny lifted by a patterned allow): confirmed and fixed in 3e89847. Critical 2 (session-denied optional tool directly callable when the router is off): confirmed with a test, fixed in 3e89847 by the call-time check on governed tools; note the same list filter gap exists for every offered tool on main, so the check is applied to the tools this PR governs. Warning on ranking: confirmed and fixed in 3e89847 (full coverage of the query ranks first; test with 8 versus 9 terms). Warning on readdir allocation: not changed, same answer as the earlier thread: readdir has to read the folder, the walk is bounded in depth and folders, runs once per session, switch off by default.
