# node-tools

The node's tool runtime as a module (novox/hq ADR 0175, to-be 38 WP3). Assigned to a machine, it is
one process the host runs from this bundle, as the operator's account: it serves every assigned
module's tools and every held seat's verbs on the bus, and answers MCP on the machine's loopback —
the console (design 34). The controller composes the process (which bundles to load, where the
credential is, whose machine it is); this manifest says only what the machine must have for it: the
interpreter, a place for the credential, the loopback port, and leave to call every tool.

The code is the `mesh-tools` package in this directory; the module at the repository root,
`mesh-tools`, builds the images TypeScript bundles are compiled in. See the repository README.
