# Changelog: Multiple Tool Association Feature

## Version: 6.0.4 (Feature Release)
**Date**: 2024
**Type**: Major Feature Addition

---

## 🎉 Summary

Implemented **real database-backed multiple tool association** system allowing users to dynamically manage multiple BASIC tools per conversation session. Replaces SQL placeholder comments with fully functional Diesel ORM code.

---

## ✨ New Features

### 1. Multiple Tools Per Session
- Users can now associate unlimited tools with a single conversation
- Each session maintains its own independent tool list
- Tools are stored persistently in the database

### 2. Four New BASIC Keywords

#### `ADD_TOOL`
- Adds a compiled BASIC tool to the current session
- Validates tool exists and is active
- Prevents duplicate additions
- Example: `ADD_TOOL ".gbdialog/enrollment.bas"`

#### `REMOVE_TOOL`
- Removes a specific tool from the current session
- Does not affect other sessions
- Example: `REMOVE_TOOL ".gbdialog/enrollment.bas"`

#### `LIST_TOOLS`
- Lists all tools currently active in the session
- Shows numbered list with tool names
- Example: `LIST_TOOLS`

#### `CLEAR_TOOLS`
- Removes all tool associations from current session
- Useful for resetting conversation context
- Example: `CLEAR_TOOLS`

### 3. Database Implementation

#### New Table: `session_tool_associations`
```sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS session_tool_associations (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    session_id TEXT NOT NULL,
    tool_name TEXT NOT NULL,
    added_at TEXT NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE(session_id, tool_name)
);
```

#### Indexes for Performance
- `idx_session_tool_session` - Fast session lookups
- `idx_session_tool_name` - Fast tool name searches
- UNIQUE constraint prevents duplicate associations

### 4. Prompt Processor Integration
- Automatically loads all session tools during prompt processing
- Tools become available to LLM for function calling
- Maintains backward compatibility with legacy `current_tool` field

## 🗄️ Database Schema Changes

### Migration: `6.0.3.sql`
Already included the `session_tool_associations` table definition.

**No new migration required** - existing schema supports this feature.

---

## 🔄 API Changes

### New Public Functions

```rust
// In src/basic/keywords/add_tool.rs

/// Get all tools associated with a session
pub fn get_session_tools(
    conn: &mut PgConnection,
    session_id: &Uuid,
) -> Result<Vec<String>, diesel::result::Error>

/// Remove a tool association from a session  
pub fn remove_session_tool(
    conn: &mut PgConnection,
    session_id: &Uuid,
    tool_name: &str,
) -> Result<usize, diesel::result::Error>

/// Clear all tool associations for a session
pub fn clear_session_tools(
    conn: &mut PgConnection,
    session_id: &Uuid,
) -> Result<usize, diesel::result::Error>
```

### Modified Function Signatures

Changed from `&PgConnection` to `&mut PgConnection` to match Diesel 2.x requirements.

---

## 🔀 Backward Compatibility

### Fully Backward Compatible
- ✅ Legacy `current_tool` field still works
- ✅ Existing tool loading mechanisms unchanged
- ✅ All existing BASIC scripts continue to work
- ✅ No breaking changes to API or database schema

### Migration Path
Old code using single tool:
```rust
session.current_tool = Some("enrollment".to_string());
```

New code using multiple tools:
```basic
ADD_TOOL ".gbdialog/enrollment.bas"
ADD_TOOL ".gbdialog/payment.bas"
```

Both approaches work simultaneously!

---

## 🎯 Use Cases Enabled

### 1. Progressive Tool Loading
Load tools as conversation progresses based on user needs.

### 2. Context-Aware Tool Management
Different tool sets for different conversation stages.

### 3. Department-Specific Tools
Route users to appropriate toolsets based on department/role.

### 4. A/B Testing
Test different tool combinations for optimization.

### 5. Multi-Phase Conversations
Switch tool sets between greeting, main interaction, and closing phases.

---

## 🛡️ Security Enhancements

- **Mutable Reference Handling**: Proper `&mut PgConnection` usage throughout
- **Schema Module Structure**: Proper module organization for Diesel tables
- **Thread Safety**: Correct mutex handling for database connections

---

## ⚠️ Known Limitations

1. **No Auto-Cleanup**: Tool associations persist until manually removed
   - Future: Auto-cleanup when session expires
   
2. **No Tool Priority**: All tools treated equally
   - Future: Priority/ordering system

3. **No Tool Groups**: Tools managed individually
   - Future: Group operations

---

## 🔮 Future Enhancements

Potential features for future releases:

1. **Tool Priority System**: Specify preferred tool order
2. **Tool Groups**: Manage related tools as a set
3. **Auto-Cleanup**: Remove associations when session ends
4. **Tool Statistics**: Track usage metrics
5. **Conditional Loading**: LLM-driven tool selection
6. **Fine-Grained Permissions**: User-level tool access control
7. **Tool Versioning**: Support multiple versions of same tool
