@juspay/neurolink/dist/core/toolRouting.js

The pipe layer of an AI nervous system: one interface connecting provider neurons to your application, across three inference types — generate, stream and decide. `decide` returns typed, calibrated judgements from a non-generative model (~400ms, ~$0.00002

/**
 * Pre-call tool routing.
 *
 * Once per stream() turn, a cheap router LLM call receives the user query and
 * the catalog of routable tool servers (id + description) and picks the
 * servers whose tools are plausibly needed. The tools of every unpicked
 * server are returned as an exclusion list, which the caller appends to the
 * request's `excludeTools` — the per-call denylist the provider enforces in
 * `baseProvider.applyToolFiltering`.
 *
 * Denylist (not allowlist) semantics: the router only knows the declared
 * server catalog — a strict subset of the real tool set. Excluding unpicked
 * servers leaves built-in direct tools, always-include servers, and any
 * tools outside the catalog untouched.
 *
 * Fail-open by design: missing query, <=1 routable server, validation
 * failure, empty/invalid pick, or any thrown error returns an EMPTY list
 * (exclude nothing -> all tools, identical to routing disabled). Never throws.
 *
 * L2 embedding fast-path (ITEM B): when `params.embedFn` is supplied and the
 * catalog's total tool count exceeds `embeddingConfig.minToolsToActivate`, a
 * hybrid cosine+BM25 retriever narrows the candidate set BEFORE the LLM router.
 * Any embedding failure falls back to the standard LLM-router path.
 *
 * Tool granularity (ITEM D): when `params.granularity === "tool"`, individual
 * unpicked tools are excluded rather than whole servers. Falls back to "server"
 * if the embedding path is disabled or fails.
 *
 * Decision router: when `params.decideFn` is supplied AND a decision provider
 * is configured, one calibrated yes/no question per server replaces the router
 * LLM call — ~400ms against a 15s budget, and a probability per server rather
 * than a list that cannot express doubt. It runs after the embedding
 * fast-path and before the LLM router, and returning null from it falls
 * through to the LLM path unchanged. See `toolRoutingDecision.ts` for why a
 * server is only ever dropped on a CONFIDENT no.
