Tool Confirmation API Integration

Backend API Call Structure

When users confirm tools in the ToolConfirmation component, the following parameters are now added to the API request:

New Parameters Added to emissaryConfig

// When user confirms tools
emissaryConfig: {
  // ... existing config ...
  confirm_past_pause: true,
  tools_to_use: [
    {
      'name': 'vertex_search', 
      'config': [
        {'parameter': 'query', 'value': 'renewable energy market conditions UK'},
        {'parameter': 'query', 'value': 'renewable energy market conditions Iberia'}
      ]
    },
    {
      'name': 'extract_files',
      'config': [
        {'parameter': 'path', 'value': '/documents'}
      ]
    }
  ]
}

// When user skips/rejects tools
emissaryConfig: {
  // ... existing config ...
  // confirm_past_pause and tools_to_use are omitted
}

API Request Flow

1. User receives tool confirmation prompt from backend: <toolconfirmation tools_to_use='[...]' />

2. User modifies and confirms tools in the React component

3. Next API call includes the confirmed tools in emissaryConfig:
   • confirm_past_pause: true - tells backend user confirmed a previous pause
   • tools_to_use: FirstImpressionTool[] - the actual confirmed/modified tools
4. Backend receives these parameters and can:
   • Skip the tool selection phase
   • Use the user-confirmed tools directly
   • Continue processing with approved tool configuration

Data Flow Path

ToolConfirmation Component
    ↓ (user confirms)
Emissary.tsx → handleBotMessage()
    ↓
chatStreaming.ts → handleMessageStreaming()
    ↓
vacChat.ts → emissaryConfigForApi
    ↓
/api/proxy → backend
    ↓
backend/vac_service.py (receives confirm_past_pause & tools_to_use)

Example Usage

// In future implementation, when user confirms tools:
const confirmedTools = [
  {
    name: 'vertex_search',
    config: [
      { parameter: 'query', value: 'modified search query' }
    ]
  }
];

// This will be passed to the next API call
const streamingConfig = {
  // ... other config ...
  confirm_past_pause: true,
  tools_to_use: confirmedTools
};

Current Status

✅ API structure ready - Backend now receives confirm_past_pause and tools_to_use parameters
🔄 Next step - Implement mechanism to bubble up confirmed tools from ToolConfirmation component to API call
🔄 Next step - Connect user confirmation actions to trigger new API requests with confirmed tools
