Tool Readiness Summary

10 Tools Fully Specified

Tool Categories Breakdown

• Calendar: 2 tools (read + write)
• File: 2 tools (search + retrieve)
• Medical Search: 3 tools (OpenEvidence, PubMed, Guidelines)
• Medical AI: 2 tools (calculator, differential diagnosis)
• Web Search: 1 tool

PHI Classification

• Requires PHI (5 tools): calendar, files, calculator, diagnosis
• No PHI (5 tools): OpenEvidence, PubMed, guidelines, web search

Confirmation Requirements

• Requires Confirmation (1 tool): create_calendar_event
• No Confirmation (9 tools): All read-only and informational tools

Implementation Roadmap

Phase 5: Medical Knowledge Base & RAG System

Implement:

• search_openevidence (external API)
• search_pubmed (NCBI E-utilities)
• search_medical_guidelines (local vector search)
• calculate_medical_score (local library)
• generate_differential_diagnosis (RAG + BioGPT)
• web_search_medical (Google Custom Search)

Phase 6: Nextcloud App Integration

Implement:

• get_calendar_events (CalDAV)
• create_calendar_event (CalDAV)
• search_nextcloud_files (WebDAV)
• retrieve_nextcloud_file (WebDAV + text extraction)

Phase 4: Voice Pipeline (OpenAI Realtime API)

Wire up:

• Tool definitions sent to OpenAI
• Tool calls received from OpenAI
• Tool results returned to OpenAI
• Voice Proxy ↔ Orchestrator integration

Key Design Decisions

1. Type Safety Throughout

• All tool arguments validated with Pydantic
• All tool results structured with Pydantic
• TypeScript interfaces for frontend
• Compile-time type checking

2. PHI-Aware Architecture

• Tools classified by PHI requirement
• PHI tools never call external APIs
• PHI detection at orchestrator level
• Audit trail for all PHI access

3. User Confirmation Flow

• High-risk tools require confirmation
• Confirmation via WebSocket/SSE
• User can approve/deny before execution
• Timeout after 60 seconds

4. Observability First

• Prometheus metrics for all tools
• Structured logging with trace IDs
• Execution time tracking
• Error rate monitoring

5. Stub-First Implementation

• All tools have working stubs
• Stubs return mock data
• Integration tests can run immediately
• Real implementation swapped in later

6. Tool Registry Pattern

• Central TOOL_REGISTRY
• Runtime tool discovery
• Easy to add new tools
• OpenAI schema generation

Testing Strategy

Unit Tests (Per Tool)

def test_get_calendar_events():
    args = GetCalendarEventsArgs(start_date="2024-01-15", end_date="2024-01-20")
    result = calendar_tool.get_events(args, user_id=1)
    assert result.success is True

Integration Tests (Orchestrator)

def test_tool_invocation_flow():
    tool_call = {"tool": "get_calendar_events", "arguments": {...}}
    response = orchestrator.execute_tool(tool_call, user_id=1)
    assert response["success"] is True

E2E Tests (Voice Mode)

    # Simulate OpenAI Realtime API tool call
    # Verify result returned correctly
