AI-assisted engineering platform with FastAPI backend, LanceDB vector store, and tree-sitter code analysis. Provides tool dispatch, RAG-based tool selection, and role-based access control for agent-driven code manipulation.
AILIENANT has 17 tools with significant definition gaps. Most tools lack input schemas entirely (read_file, write_file, run_command, task_create, task_get, task_list, task_stop, security_audit, validate_ast, sandbox_bash, check_type_integrity, validate_wbs_dependencies, estimate_plan_budget, ask_user_question, toggle_plan_mode have no visible schema). Only 3 tools (read_file, write_file, todo_write, ask_user_question, tool_search) show partial schemas in the provided code. Descriptions are present but generic (10-50 chars for most). No parameter descriptions visible for most tools. No output schemas documented. Error handling and recovery guidance absent. Tool names follow verb_noun convention (positive), but lack of schemas and descriptions severely limits LLM usability.
Ask the user a question and wait for response.
Check type integrity of code.
Estimate budget for a plan.
Read a file from the VFS. Line-based offset/limit pagination.
Execute a shell command in the sandboxed workspace environment.
Execute bash commands in sandboxed environment.
Perform security audit on code.
Create a background task for asynchronous execution.
12 of 17 tools have NO visible input schemas. This blocks LLM parameter inference and validation.
Most tool descriptions are under 50 characters and lack WHEN/WHY context. E.g., 'Execute a shell command in the sandboxed workspace environment' (60 chars) does not explain when to use run_command vs sandbox_bash, or what the output format is.

Get the status of a background task.
List all background tasks.
Stop a running background task.
Write todo items to agent state.
Toggle between plan and execute modes.
Search for available tools by intent or keyword.
Validate abstract syntax tree of code.
Validate Work Breakdown Structure dependencies.
Write content to a file in the Virtual File System.
No output schemas documented for any tool. LLMs cannot plan downstream calls or extract required fields (e.g., task_id from task_create, or available channels from tool_search).
Destructive tools (write_file, run_command, sandbox_bash, task_stop, toggle_plan_mode) lack error handling guidance and confirmation patterns. No recovery instructions if a command fails or a file write is partial.
Two tools (run_command, sandbox_bash) appear to do the same thing (execute shell commands). LLM will waste reasoning cycles deciding between them. Consolidate or clearly differentiate in descriptions.
