# Validation Domain Model A `Validation` extends `Tool` with pass/fail semantics. Validations are always read-only (`writes=False`, `checkpointable=False`, `read_only=True`). ## Validation-Specific Fields | Field | Type | Default | Description | |--------------------|-------------------------|-------------|------------------------------------------| | `mode` | `ValidationMode` | `required` | Whether failure blocks execution | | `wraps` | `str \| None` | `None` | Name of existing tool to wrap | | `transform` | `str \| None` | `None` | Python code to transform wrapped output | | `argument_mapping` | `dict \| None` | `None` | Args for wrapped tool (only with wraps) | All fields from `Tool` are also available. ## Forced Constraints When constructing a Validation, the following are always enforced: - `tool_type` is forced to `ToolType.VALIDATION` - `capability.read_only` is forced to `True` - `capability.writes` is forced to `False` - `capability.checkpointable` is forced to `False` ## Wraps Semantics A Validation may wrap an existing Tool to reuse its implementation: - When `wraps` is set, `source` must be `wrapped` - When `wraps` is set, `code` must not be set (mutually exclusive) - When `wraps` is set, `transform` is required - `argument_mapping` is only valid when `wraps` is set ## Modes | Mode | Behavior | |-----------------|-------------------------------------------------| | `required` | Failure blocks the operation | | `informational` | Failure is reported but does not block | ## Class Methods - `Validation.from_config(config: dict)` -- Create from a YAML config dict (auto-detects `source=wrapped` when `wraps` is present) - `validation.as_cli_dict()` -- Stable ordered dict with validation fields ## CLI Management ``` agents validation add --config [--update] agents validation attach [--project |--plan ] agents validation detach [--yes] ``` Validations are listed and inspected via standard `agents tool` commands with `--type validation` filter.
