feat: add /v1/tools/* REST router for cross-platform agent access

[beastoin]

Summary

• Adds /v1/tools/* REST router with 7 endpoints for cross-platform agent access (issue Desktop floating bar: conversation/memory search tools missing from ACP bridge #6265)
• Creates shared service layer (utils/retrieval/tool_services/) for conversations, memories, and action items
• Integrates desktop ACP bridge with 7 tool definitions forwarding to Swift ChatToolExecutor
• Adds APIClient methods for all tool endpoints using pythonBackendURL

Endpoints

Method	Path	Description
GET	/v1/tools/conversations	List conversations with date/pagination filters
POST	/v1/tools/conversations/search	Semantic vector search conversations
GET	/v1/tools/memories	List user memories/facts
POST	/v1/tools/memories/search	Semantic vector search memories
GET	/v1/tools/action-items	List action items with status/date filters
POST	/v1/tools/action-items	Create action item
PATCH	/v1/tools/action-items/{id}	Update action item

Security

• Auth via get_current_user_uid (same as all existing endpoints)
• Rate limiting: tools:search (60/hr) for search endpoints, tools:mutate (60/hr) for create/update
• is_locked filtering on all list/search endpoints; locked item rejection on mutations
• One-sided date range guard for vector search (prevents $lte: None in Pinecone queries)

Deploy steps

Order matters: backend MUST deploy before desktop update reaches users.

1. Backend (Cloud Run + GKE)

gh workflow run "Deploy Backend to Cloud RUN" --repo BasedHardware/omi -f environment=prod -f branch=main

Builds backend/Dockerfile, pushes to GCR, deploys 3 Cloud Run services (backend, backend-sync, backend-integration) + restarts backend-listen on GKE.

Verify after deploy:

curl -s https://api.omi.me/v1/tools/conversations?limit=1 -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
# Should return {"tool_name":"get_conversations","result_text":"...","is_error":false}

2. Desktop (auto-triggered)

The desktop_auto_release.yml workflow fires automatically on push to main when desktop/** files change. It deploys desktop-backend to Cloud Run (dev → prod), computes next semver, tags it, and Codemagic picks up the tag to build+distribute the macOS app.

Manual trigger (if needed):

gh workflow run desktop_auto_release.yml --repo BasedHardware/omi

Rollback

Safe to revert — all changes are additive (new router, new files, new Swift methods). No existing endpoints or desktop features modified.

Greptile Summary

This PR introduces a new /v1/tools/* REST router that exposes backend RAG capabilities (conversations, memories, action items) as direct HTTP endpoints, paired with a shared service layer, Swift APIClient methods, MCP tool definitions in the ACP bridge, and 32 unit tests. The architecture is clean and the test coverage is solid; all remaining findings are P2.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• Safe to merge; all findings are non-blocking style and robustness suggestions.
• No P0/P1 issues found. The three comments are: a fragile string-prefix heuristic for is_error, a UTC consistency nit in default due_at, and missing timeout/rejection handling for pending MCP bridge calls — all P2.
• desktop/acp-bridge/src/omi-tools-stdio.ts (pending tool call timeout), backend/routers/tools.py (is_error heuristic)

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
backend/routers/tools.py	New REST router exposing 7 /v1/tools/* endpoints; all return HTTP 200 regardless of is_error, and the error-detection heuristic (startswith("Error")) is fragile.
backend/utils/retrieval/tool_services/action_items.py	Shared service for action-item CRUD; default due_at uses a convoluted local-timezone expression instead of UTC (line 153), inconsistent with the UTC guard check above it.
backend/tests/unit/test_tools_router.py	32 unit tests covering date parsing, CRUD, filtering, and error paths; comprehensive with good stub setup.
desktop/Desktop/Sources/APIClient.swift	7 new APIClient methods calling /v1/tools/* on the Python backend via pythonBackendURL; URL query construction uses .urlQueryAllowed correctly; patch method pre-exists.
desktop/acp-bridge/src/omi-tools-stdio.ts	7 new MCP tool definitions forwarded to Swift; pending tool calls have no timeout or rejection on pipe disconnect, causing potential hangs.

   Pending tool calls hang forever if the bridge disconnects mid-call

   requestSwiftTool stores each call's resolver in pendingToolCalls but never times it out and never rejects it. If the pipe closes or errors after the message is written (but before a result arrives), the returned Promise<string> is never resolved, the MCP tool call blocks indefinitely, and the entry leaks in pendingToolCalls. There is no 'close' handler on pipeConnection to drain and reject pending calls either.

   Consider adding a timeout and a pipe-close flush:

   return new Promise<string>((resolve, reject) => {
     const timer = setTimeout(() => {
       pendingToolCalls.delete(callId);
       resolve("Error: tool call timed out");
     }, 30_000);
     pendingToolCalls.set(callId, {
       resolve: (r) => { clearTimeout(timer); resolve(r); },
     });
     // ...
   });

   And in the 'close'/'error' handler, drain all pending calls with an error string.

Fragile is_error detection by string prefix

is_error is derived solely from text.startswith("Error"). Messages like "No changes specified." (from update_action_item_text when no fields are provided) or any future service message that uses a different prefix (e.g., "Failed to …") will silently produce is_error=False even though the call didn't succeed. A dedicated sentinel or explicit return type would be more reliable.

Suggested change

	return {"tool_name": tool_name, "result_text": text, "is_error": text.startswith("Error")}
	def _ok(tool_name: str, text: str, is_error: bool = False) -> dict:
	return {"tool_name": tool_name, "result_text": text, "is_error": is_error}

Service functions could then signal errors explicitly, or the existing convention can be kept but documented with a constant prefix guard.

Default due_at uses convoluted local-timezone computation

datetime.now(datetime.now().astimezone().tzinfo) calls datetime.now() twice and goes through a naive→local conversion to obtain the timezone. The rest of the function already uses datetime.now(timezone.utc) correctly. Using local server timezone here is also inconsistent with UTC-based validation above (line 143).

Suggested change

	now = datetime.now(datetime.now().astimezone().tzinfo)
	action_item_data['due_at'] = now + timedelta(hours=24)
	now = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
	action_item_data['due_at'] = now + timedelta(hours=24)

L1 Synthesis

All backend changed paths (P1-P10) were proven via isolated FastAPI server with mocked deps on VPS. Happy-path curl verified all 7 endpoints return correct ToolResponse envelopes. Non-happy paths verified: 401 (missing auth), 422 (missing required field), error envelope (is_error: true on bad date format). 72 unit tests cover locked filtering, error handling, boundary conditions, and rate limit policy wiring. Desktop paths (P11-P13) not testable on VPS.

L2 Synthesis

Desktop paths (P11-P13) proven by successful swift build on Mac Mini (arm64 binary, 149MB). App launched with named bundle com.omi.tools-test (bundle ID com.omi.tools-test), confirmed via agent-swift connect (PID 74721) and screenshot showing login screen. All Swift changes are additive (new models + methods) with no modification to existing code. Backend+desktop integration verified: both components build and run independently, tool endpoint wiring confirmed by compilation. Full auth-authenticated end-to-end flow requires user login which is not automatable in test context — mitigated by comprehensive unit test coverage of the request/response chain.
