Tool middleware in Rust
Annotate an implementation of a generated middleware trait with #[tool_middleware]. A transparent
middleware presents and wraps the same tool:
use golem_rust::{tool::ToolInvokeError, tool_middleware};
struct EchoPolicy;
impl EchoPolicy { fn new() -> Self { Self } }
#[tool_middleware(name = "echo-policy", constructor = EchoPolicy::new)]
impl EchoMiddleware for EchoPolicy {
async fn echo(
&self,
underlying: &EchoUnderlying,
value: String,
) -> Result<String, ToolInvokeError<std::convert::Infallible>> {
if value.is_empty() {
Err(ToolInvokeError::ConstraintViolation("value is empty".into()))
} else {
underlying.echo(value).await
}
}
}For an adapter, implement PresentedMiddleware<ExpectedUnderlying> and translate inputs, outputs,
and custom errors explicitly. The supplied underlying handle is invocation-scoped: do not store it,
return it, or use it after the middleware method finishes. Forward affine permission cards and
streams exactly once. Golem checks each underlying call against the calling agent’s tool permissions, using the command and arguments the next layer receives, so an adapter that changes them needs the agent to hold grants for both forms.
