Package map for the tool-output spill capability family: what the storage service, the local backend, and the result policy each provide. package-group

spill/ — tool-output spill capability family

English | 中文

Summary

The spill/ group keeps oversized tool output out of the model's context without losing it: when a tool result exceeds a deployment's byte cap, the full text is saved to a spill artifact and the model sees a bounded preview plus a locator it can read or search later. The family splits into three packages — the storage service in spill/, the local filesystem backend in spill-local/, and the result policy in spill-policy/ that decides when a final tool result is too large. Spilling is opt-in and best-effort: the policy acts only when maxInlineBytes is configured, and a storage failure leaves the original result visible. The group owns storage and result replacement only; preview mechanics live in dsh-output-retention, and provider resource caps remain separate.

Packages

Three packages play the spill roles; the subsystem reference owns the exhaustive vocabulary and contracts.

Package Role ctx key
spill/ Storage service: saves oversized tool text and returns a locator plus retrieval guidance ctx.spillStore
spill-local/ Saves spilled text to private session-scoped files on this machine registers on ctx.spillStore
spill-policy/ Replaces oversized plain-text tool results with a preview and locator listens on ctx.tools

Start with the subsystem reference for the shared vocabulary, then the design decision and its durable-log extension.
