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

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

// 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:

session.current_tool = Some("enrollment".to_string());

New code using multiple tools:

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.

🚀 Performance Improvements

  • Indexed Lookups: Fast queries via database indexes
  • Batch Loading: All tools loaded in single query
  • Session Isolation: No cross-session interference
  • Efficient Storage: Only stores references, not code

🛡️ Security Enhancements

  • Bot ID Validation: Tools validated against bot ownership
  • SQL Injection Prevention: All queries use Diesel parameterization
  • Session Isolation: Users can't access other sessions' tools
  • Input Sanitization: Tool names extracted and validated

The implementation uses real Diesel ORM code throughout, with no SQL placeholders or TODOs remaining. All features are production-ready and fully tested.

Status: ✅ Complete and Production Ready
