## Discovery
The agent-tool instructions use a budgeted catalog. Every tool namespace is always listed with its tool count regardless of budget, and as many complete tool signatures (each with a one-line description) as fit an estimated-token budget are inlined. Selection is round-robin across namespaces for fairness: in each round (namespaces alphabetical), every namespace still holding un-inlined tools attempts to place its next-cheapest signature line against the shared budget, and a namespace whose next line does not fit drops out while the others keep going so every namespace gets some representation before any namespace gets everything. The instructions state exactly how comprehensive the list is, both overall (`COMPLETE list` vs `PARTIAL N of M shown`) and per namespace (`(3 tools)`, `(3 tools, 1 shown)`, `(3 tools, none shown)`).

`search` performs deterministic, additive field-weighted matching. The query is tokenized (camelCase boundaries split; every non-alphanumeric character is a separator; empties and `*` are dropped), and each term scores every tool: exact path or path-segment match (20), path substring (8), description substring (4), and searchable-text substring (2). Each term also carries naive singular variants (trailing `s`/`es` stripped), and a field check passes when the term or any variant matches so a plural query term (`issues`) still finds a tool whose text only says `issue`, without changing the weights. The searchable text also includes the input schema's property names and their description strings, so a query naming a parameter finds its tool, and substring matching means partial words match. Scores sum across terms; matches are sorted by score (ties broken alphabetically by path) and capped at `limit` results (default 10).

Each result contains the path, description, and generated TypeScript signature, so no second lookup is needed. The result signature is the pretty, JSDoc-annotated multiline form: each described input/output field carries its schema `description` as a `/** */` comment, and constraints TypeScript cannot express ride along as tags (`@deprecated`, `@default`, `@format`, `@minItems`, `@maxItems`). The inline catalog in the instructions keeps the compact single-line form.

Result paths are rendered as JavaScript expressions rooted at `tools` (`tools.orders.lookup`, or `tools.context7["resolve-library-id"]` for non-identifier segments), so each `path` is directly usable as the call site. An empty query browses the catalog alphabetically by path; combined with `namespace` (`{ query: "", namespace: "orders" }`) it lists everything in that namespace. A query that names one tool path exactly (canonical path, `tools.`-prefixed path, or rendered JavaScript expression) is treated as a lookup and returns that tool alone.
The instructions are structured markdown, ordered so the workflow sits at the top and the catalog at the bottom: a `## Workflow` section with numbered steps (find a tool via search when the catalog is partial, or pick from the inlined list when it is complete; call the exact path as-is; `JSON.parse` string results; return only the needed fields), a `## Rules` section holding only guidance the workflow does not already cover (only listed/search-result tools exist inside `tools`; filter and aggregate collections in code; treat `Promise<unknown>` results as shapeless until verified; run independent calls through `Promise.all`; enumerate `tools` with `Object.keys`/`for...in`; browse a namespace via search when it is advertised), a short `## Syntax` section that assumes standard JavaScript and names only what is unusual (TypeScript annotations stripped; the data-boundary serialization of Date/Map/Set/RegExp) or missing (classes, generators, `for await...of`, `.then`/`.catch`/`.finally`), and the budgeted `## Available tools` catalog. Example call forms use explicit `<namespace>.<tool>`/`<field>` placeholders never a real or fabricated tool name.

CodeMode executes a deliberately bounded JavaScript subset. It supports:
- Plain data literals, property access, assignment, and destructuring.
- `if`, conditional expressions, `switch`, `for`, `for...of` (arrays, strings, Maps, Sets), `for...in` (own keys of plain objects, index strings of arrays, and namespace/tool names of `tools` references anything else is an error suggesting `for...of` or `Object.keys`, rather than real JS's surprising behavior of indices for strings and zero iterations for Maps/Sets), `while`, and `do...while`.

- Arrow functions and function declarations with closures, defaults, rest parameters, and destructuring.
- Optional chaining, nullish coalescing, templates, spread (arrays, strings, Maps, Sets), and `try`/`catch`.
- Common array, string, number, `Object`, `Math`, and `JSON` operations. Mutating array methods include `push`/`pop`/`shift`/`unshift`/`splice` (removes in place and returns the removed elements)/`fill`/`copyWithin`; array `keys`/`values`/`entries` return **arrays** (matching the Map/Set convention) and work with `for...of` and spread. String methods include `localeCompare` (locale/options arguments ignored), `normalize`, and the `trimLeft`/`trimRight` aliases. `Object.keys` also accepts arrays (index strings, as in JS) and tool references: `Object.keys(tools)` lists the top-level namespaces and `Object.keys(tools.ns)` the names at that node (a callable tool enumerates as `[]`; an unknown path is an `UnknownTool` diagnostic). `Object.values`/`Object.entries` on a tool reference fail with a pointer at `Object.keys(tools)` and `tools.$codemode.search`.
- `Date` `Date.now()`/`Date.parse()`/`Date.UTC()`, `new Date(...)`, the getter methods, and date arithmetic/comparison via the time value. Dates stringify as ISO (`toString` included, for determinism across host timezones).
- Regular expressions `/literals/` and `new RegExp(...)` with `test`/`exec` (stateful `lastIndex` for `g`), plus string `match`/`matchAll`/`replace`/`replaceAll`/`split`/`search` with patterns. Match results are arrays carrying `index` and named `groups` as own properties (`input` is omitted). Invalid patterns, invalid flags, and missing-`g` calls fail with catchable errors that say what was wrong and how to fix it (escaping hints, the exact `/pattern/g` to write). Patterns run on the host engine, so pathological backtracking is bounded only by the execution timeout. Function replacers are not supported.
- `Map` and `Set` construction from entries/arrays/strings, `get`/`set`/`add`/`has`/`delete`/`clear`/`size`/`forEach`, and `keys`/`values`/`entries` returning **arrays** (not iterators).
- First-class promises an un-awaited `tools.ns.tool(...)` is a promise value whose call starts immediately on a supervised fiber; `await` resolves it (awaiting a non-promise value is a no-op, and `return tools.ns.tool(...)` resolves like an async-function return). `Promise.all`, `Promise.allSettled`, and `Promise.race` accept any array mixing promises and plain values (built inline, beforehand, or via spread); `Promise.resolve`/`Promise.reject` construct settled promises. `Promise.allSettled` rejection reasons are the same plain `{ name?, message }` data a `catch` binding sees, and `Promise.race` interrupts its losing in-flight calls. At most 8 tool calls run concurrently. When a program completes, still-running un-awaited calls are awaited before the execution ends; a failure from a call that was never awaited surfaces as an unhandled-rejection diagnostic.
- `throw value` and `throw new Error(message)` for explicit program failure. `Error` (and `TypeError`/`RangeError`/`SyntaxError`/`ReferenceError`/`EvalError`/`URIError`) are real constructors, callable with or without `new`; error values are plain `{ name, message }` data that additionally satisfy `instanceof Error` (a specific type matches itself and `Error`, as in JS). Every caught failure — thrown errors, interpreter runtime errors, and tool failures — is `instanceof Error` in a `catch` block; a thrown non-error value (`throw "text"`) is not, matching JS. Caught failures carry the `name` the equivalent real-JS failure would have `JSON.parse` and invalid regex patterns produce a `SyntaxError` (satisfying `instanceof SyntaxError`), an unknown identifier a `ReferenceError`, assigning to a constant a `TypeError`, a bad `normalize` form a `RangeError`; failures with no specific analogue (including tool failures) are named `"Error"`. `instanceof` also recognizes `Date`, `RegExp`, `Map`, `Set`, `Array`, `Object`, and `Promise`; any other right-hand side is a catchable error.
- `Date` - `Date.now()`/`Date.parse()`/`Date.UTC()`, `new Date(...)`, the getter methods, and date arithmetic/comparison via the time value. Dates stringify as ISO (`toString` included, for determinism across host timezones).

- First-class promises - an un-awaited `tools.ns.tool(...)` is a promise value whose call starts immediately on a supervised fiber; `await` resolves it (awaiting a non-promise value is a no-op, and `return tools.ns.tool(...)` resolves like an async-function return). `Promise.all`, `Promise.allSettled`, and `Promise.race` accept any array mixing promises and plain values (built inline, beforehand, or via spread); `Promise.resolve`/`Promise.reject` construct settled promises. `Promise.allSettled` rejection reasons are the same plain `{ name?, message }` data a `catch` binding sees, and `Promise.race` interrupts its losing in-flight calls.

Inside a program, Date/RegExp/Map/Set values stay live everywhere: the internal data checkpoints (`Object.*` helpers, spread, coercion inputs) preserve the instances, so `Object.values({ d: date })[0].getTime()` and a spread copy of an object holding a Map keep working. Only at the host boundary (final result, tool arguments, `JSON.stringify`) do the four value types serialize exactly as `JSON.stringify` would: a Date becomes its ISO string (`null` when invalid) and RegExp/Map/Set become `{}`. Promise values never cross a data boundary: an un-awaited promise in a result or tool argument produces a diagnostic that says to await it, instead of serializing to `{}`.
It does not expose `eval`, dynamic imports, modules, classes, generators, timers, host globals, prototype mutation, custom promise constructors (`new Promise`), promise chaining (`.then`/`.catch`/`.finally` `await` with `try`/`catch` is the supported style), or arbitrary method calls. Unsupported syntax returns an `UnsupportedSyntax` diagnostic with a source location when available.

Exceeding a configured `maxOutputBytes` never fails the execution. An oversized result value is replaced by its truncated serialized text plus an explanatory marker, logs are kept from the start until the remaining budget is exhausted (with a final marker line noting the cut), and the result carries `truncated: true`.
When configured, the timeout interrupts in-flight tool Effects, including eagerly started calls the program has not awaited (their fibers are supervised by the execution). The interpreter yields cooperatively between steps, so the timeout also interrupts pure busy loops (`while (true) {}`) no separate work budget exists. Tool implementations remain responsible for making their external operations interruptible or independently bounded.

Two interpreter internals are fixed constants rather than knobs: at most 8 tool calls run concurrently, and values crossing a data boundary may nest at most 32 levels deep (deeper values fail as `InvalidDataValue`, which reads better than a native stack-overflow error). Neither is part of the public contract.
