AutomationForgeToolset

Automation Forge Toolset

Exposes Automation Forge and Automation Forge Pipelines as native Model Context Protocol tools, so an agent can read the node library, author a pipeline, run it, and answer the gates it stops at — through exactly the operations a person uses.

Status: 0.1. The node library, the ledger and the pipeline authoring and run surfaces are exposed and exercised; the executor behind them is prototype quality.

Same split as every other toolset in the family, and for the same reason: ToolsetRegistry and ModelContextProtocol are Experimental engine plugins, and folding this in would make Automation Forge refuse to load anywhere they are turned off. Delete this plugin and Automation Forge behaves identically.

This module holds no logic. Every tool forwards to a subsystem.

Tools

The node library — what a pipeline can be built out of.

Tool
GetNodeCategories, ListNodeNames	What exists
FindNodes, GetNode	Search it, and read one node's signature
RediscoverNodes	Re-scan after a plugin is enabled

The ledger — what was made, what it cost, and what is bound to each slot.

Tool
GetAllTargets, GetTarget	Every generated slot, and one of them
IsCurrent, MakeInputHash	Whether a slot's inputs still match what produced it
RecordCandidate, SelectCandidate	Add a take; choose the one that ships
SetGraduated	Hand-authored from here — the tooling stops touching this slot
PlanRun	Cost a run before it commits: what's already current, what would be made, what it would spend

Pipelines — author one, run it, and stand at the gates.

Tool
ListPipelines, CreatePipeline, SetPipelineDescription, SetPipelineOutput	The definition
AddPipelineStep, AddPipelineExpand, AddPipelineFilter, AddPipelineGate	Its steps
RemovePipelineStep	Remove a step
MovePipelineStep	Move a step — execution order is the structure
ConnectPipelineSteps, DisconnectPipelineStep, RenamePipelineStep, SetStepComment	Wiring
SetPipelineBinding	Set one input binding — $channel reads a channel, anything else is a literal
SetStepTest, SetStepCaching, SetStepOutput, SetStepWait, SetStepShape, ClearStepBinding	Per-step behaviour
ArrangePipeline	Lay the graph out — coordinates are never passed in
DescribePipeline	Read a pipeline back, with the channels readable at every step
CheckPipeline	Validate before spending anything
PlanPipelineRun	What a pipeline would cost, without running it and without writing anything
StartPipelineRun, RunPipelineToCompletion, CancelPipelineRun	Run it
GetPipelineRun, ListPipelineRuns	Watch it
GetPendingDecisions, AnswerPipelineGate	A pipeline stops where a person has to decide

The rule this obeys

A pipeline never spends money without being asked, and a gate is where it waits. CheckPipeline is free and says what a run would do; a run that finds its output current executes nothing. Both of those are the point rather than optimisations.
