// The `read_routine_result` tool — the terminal's answer to "now act on what my // routine found". // // A routine's output has always been reachable in principle (it is a file on this // disk, or a card in the app's Inbox) and unusable in practice from a conversation: // the user says "dig into the second thing in my morning brief" and the agent has // never seen the brief, doesn't know where it is written, and doesn't know what the // routine was even asked to do. This closes that: one read that returns BOTH halves — // the routine's standing instruction (its schedule, its working directory, its model) // and its most recent result — so the follow-up work is grounded in what actually ran // rather than in a guess about it. // // Two boundaries are deliberate: // • READ-ONLY, and only from this machine's own routine store (~/.privateer). It // takes a routine NAME, never a path, so it cannot be steered into reading // something else. The gate classifies it as a read (permissions/classify.ts). // • The result body is returned as QUOTED DATA with an explicit warning, because an // unattended run reads the web and connectors and its output can therefore quote // text an attacker wrote. Same rule the app's follow-up composer applies // (treeview/client/utils/followUp.ts) — stated in both places because both are // the moment where collected text re-enters a live session. // // Its app-side twin is "Follow up" on an Inbox result, which carries the same context // over the sealed envelope's `source` field (outbox/cloudOutbox.ts). import { Type } from "typebox"; import { existsSync, readFileSync, statSync } from "node:fs"; import { join } from "node:path"; import { loadRoutines, findRoutine, routineOutputDir } from "../routines/store.ts"; import { describeTrigger } from "../routines/trigger.ts"; /** Default ceiling on the returned result body.
