notify_user.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the notify_user.py agent tool.
• This module sends a user-facing notification from the agent.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with notify_user.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• notify_user.py owns the runtime implementation.
• notify_user.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• NotifyUserTool (Tool)
  • async execute(self, **kwargs)

Runtime Contracts

• Tool modules must define helpers.tool.Tool subclasses and return helpers.tool.Response from execute(...).
• Update this file whenever tool arguments, output shape, break_loop behavior, intervention handling, prompt instructions, or side effects change.
• NotifyUserTool is a Tool.
• NotifyUserTool defines execute(...).
• Imported dependency areas include: agent, helpers.notification, helpers.tool.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: AgentContext.get_notification_manager.add_notification, Response, NotificationType, NotificationPriority, AgentContext.get_notification_manager, self.agent.read_prompt.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Keep tool output concise, model-readable, and safe for history persistence.
• Coordinate argument or behavior changes with prompt tool instructions and skill guidance.
• Respect intervention flow for long-running, external, or user-visible operations.

Verification

• Run targeted tool and prompt-contract tests for changed behavior; smoke-test agent execution when no focused test exists.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_tool_action_contracts.py
