// its answer (novox/hq ADR 0132, design 33 §2).

// **A name alone is not callable by something that has never seen the mesh before**, which is the
// whole population a tool surface exists for. So a seat's protocol carries the definition, in the
// form an agent protocol already uses — a JSON schema for the input — so nothing translates between
// a seat's idea of an argument and the caller's.
//
// A manifest may still write a bare verb name (`"serves": ["price"]`); that is a Verb with only a
// name, and the module's runtime answers `tools` with the rest. The two forms read into one type so
// nothing downstream cares which was written.
