ASNT-119: Agent-callable plugin tools, proven by an Islandora Workbench plugin #154

Overview

Let a qrate plugin declare approved, structured tools that an agent can call, and build the Islandora Workbench plugin as the first real consumer. Only the plan exists so far (docs/dev/agent-tools-plan.md, draft PR #123). It is stacked on the qrate CLI (#153), which must merge first.

Scope

• In scope: tool declarations in the plugin descriptor, permission categories, bounded invocation in the plugin host, a qrate agent route to list and call tools, Pi extension discovery, and the Islandora Workbench plugin (preflight, dry-run report, confirmed ingest).
• Out of scope: a generic tool catalogue with no plugin behind it, arbitrary agent execution of plugin code, silent or agent-initiated ingest.

Task Details

1. Declarations. Stable name, description, input and output schema, and availability, in the plugin descriptor.
2. Permissions. Three categories: read-only, local mutation, external side effect.
3. Invocation. Registered in plugin-host and bounded in time, memory and output.
4. One route for every agent. qrate agent commands list and call tools through app_control, so the embedded Pi and an external agent see the same set.
5. Plugin API copies. types/qrate.lua in qrate-plugin-template and in the Islandora plugin, and each README.
6. Islandora Workbench plugin. Validate configuration and selected rows, produce a Workbench plan and a preflight report, and expose ingest only behind a visible human confirmation.

Definition of Done

• An enabled plugin exposes only its declared, approved tools
• Tool calls validate their input and return structured results or errors
• Preflight works without ingest credentials or side effects
• Ingest needs a visible human confirmation and leaves an auditable result
• cargo test -p plugin-host -- --ignored passes against the template and Islandora copies
• ./scripts/ci.sh passes
