+# Design: Native Anthropic Tools Integration
+
+**Goal**: Integrate Anthropic's native trained tools (bash_20250124, text_editor_20250728, computer_20251124) into nanobot to leverage model's trained behaviors instead of custom function tools.
+
+## Overview
+
+Anthropic's native tools are version-coupled to model training. Unlike custom function tools (which the model learns via instruction-following at inference time), native tools have their behaviors baked into model weights during training. This provides more reliable tool execution.
+
+**Key Insight**: The Anthropic API accepts BOTH tool formats in the same request:
+- Function tools: `{type: "function", function: {name, description, input_schema}}`
+- Native tools: `{type: "bash_20250124", name: "bash"}` (schema-less)
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 1. Tool Addition Strategy
+
+Add three native tool implementations from anthropic-quickstarts reference:
+- **BashTool20250124** - persistent bash session (replaces ExecTool)
+- **EditTool20250728** - file operations with view/create/str_replace/insert (replaces EditTool, possibly ReadFileTool/WriteFileTool)
+- **ComputerTool20251124** - VNC desktop control (new capability)
+
+Location: `nanobot/agent/tools/anthropic/` (new subpackage)
+
+Port from reference:
+- Base classes: `BaseAnthropicTool`, `ToolResult`, `CLIResult`, `ToolError`
+- Tool implementations with trained behaviors intact
+- Session management (_BashSession for bash tool)
+
+### 2. Registry Changes
+
+Make `ToolRegistry` format-agnostic via duck typing:
+
+**Current**: Only calls `tool.to_schema()`, expects function format
+
+**New**: Support both interfaces
+```python
+def get_definitions(self) -> list[dict[str, Any]]:
+    definitions = []
+    for tool in self._tools.values():
+        if hasattr(tool, 'to_params'):  # Native Anthropic tool
+            definitions.append(tool.to_params())
+        elif hasattr(tool, 'to_schema'):  # Function tool
+            definitions.append(tool.to_schema())
+        else:
+            raise ValueError(f"Tool {tool.name} has no schema method")
+    return definitions
+```
+
+**Execution**: No changes needed - `execute()` already looks up by name and calls the tool. Native tools implement `__call__(**kwargs)` which works with existing dispatch.
+
+**Result**: Registry becomes thin coordination layer, doesn't enforce specific base class.
+
+### 3. Tool Implementations
+
+#### BashTool20250124
+- Maintains persistent bash session via `_BashSession` class
+- Sentinel-based output reading for reliable command capture
+- Timeout handling (120s default)
+- Restart capability
+- Returns: `ToolResult(output=..., error=...)`
+
+#### EditTool20250728
+- Commands: `view`, `create`, `str_replace`, `insert`
+- Path validation (absolute paths required)
+- `str_replace`: uniqueness checking before replacement
+- `insert`: line number validation
+- File history tracking for potential undo
+- Returns: `CLIResult(output=...)` with formatted snippets
+
+#### ComputerTool20251124
+- VNC desktop interaction (keyboard, mouse, screenshots)
+- Actions: `key`, `type`, `mouse_move`, `left_click`, `right_click`, `double_click`, `screenshot`, etc.
+- Screenshot returns `ToolResult(base64_image=...)`
+- Coordinate scaling support
+- Connects to VNC at 172.17.0.1:5900 (Windows VM from code-server)
+
+### 4. API Integration
+
+Update `anthropic_oauth.py._convert_tools_to_anthropic()` to pass through both formats:
+
+**Current**: Only converts `type: "function"` tools
+```python
+if tool.get("type") == "function":
+    # convert to Anthropic format
+```
+
+**New**: Pass through ALL formats
+```python
+def _convert_tools_to_anthropic(self, tools: list[dict[str, Any]] | None) -> list[dict[str, Any]] | None:
+    if not tools:
+        return None
+
+    anthropic_tools = []
+    for tool in tools:
+        if tool.get("type") == "function":
+            # Convert function tool format
+            func = tool["function"]
+            anthropic_tools.append({
+                "name": func["name"],
+                "description": func.get("description", ""),
+                "input_schema": func.get("parameters", {"type": "object", "properties": {}})
+            })
+        else:
+            # Pass through native tool format as-is
+            # (bash_20250124, text_editor_20250728, computer_20251124)
+            anthropic_tools.append(tool)
+
+    return anthropic_tools if anthropic_tools else None
+```
+
+**Distinction**: Based on `type` field
+- `type == "function"` → function tool, needs conversion
+- `type == "bash_20250124"` (or other native type) → pass through as-is
+
+### 5. Tool Result Handling
+
+**Current**: Tools return plain strings
+
+**New**: Native tools return `ToolResult` objects
+```python
+@dataclass(kw_only=True, frozen=True)
+class ToolResult:
+    output: str | None = None
+    error: str | None = None
+    base64_image: str | None = None
+    system: str | None = None
+```
+
+**Agent loop changes** (`loop.py`): Handle both return types
+```python
+result = await self.tools.execute(tool_name, tool_input)
+
+if isinstance(result, ToolResult):
+    # Native tool result - build structured content
+    tool_result_content = []
+    if result.output:
+        tool_result_content.append({"type": "text", "text": result.output})
+    if result.error:
+        tool_result_content.append({"type": "text", "text": f"Error: {result.error}"})
+    if result.base64_image:
+        # Image handling (see Section 6)
+        pass
+    if result.system:
+        # System messages for next turn
+        pass
+else:
+    # Legacy string result from function tools
+    tool_result_content = [{"type": "text", "text": str(result)}]
+```
+
+### 6. Image Handling Flow
+
+**Goal**: Both model and user see screenshots from computer tool
+
+**Implementation**: Track media across tool iteration loop
+
+```python
+# At start of agent turn
+media_paths_for_turn: list[str] = []
+
+# During tool execution
+if isinstance(result, ToolResult) and result.base64_image:
+    # 1. Save to disk for user
+    media_dir = Path.home() / ".nanobot" / "media"
+    media_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
+    screenshot_path = media_dir / f"screenshot_{int(time.time())}.png"
+    screenshot_path.write_bytes(base64.b64decode(result.base64_image))
+    media_paths_for_turn.append(str(screenshot_path))
+
+    # 2. Include in tool_result for model to see
+    tool_result_content.append({
+        "type": "image",
+        "source": {
+            "type": "base64",
+            "media_type": "image/png",
+            "data": result.base64_image
+        }
+    })
+
+# After final LLM response
+await self.bus.publish(OutboundMessage(
+    channel=inbound.channel,
+    chat_id=inbound.chat_id,
+    content=final_response,
+    media=media_paths_for_turn  # Include all screenshots
+))
+```
+
+**Result**:
+- Model sees base64 in tool_result → analyzes and reasons about it
+- User receives file via Telegram's media sending (`_send_with_media()`)
+
+### 7. Version Management & Beta Flags
+
+**Problem**: Each native tool version requires specific API beta flag
+
+**Solution**: Add beta flag tracking to native tools
+
+Each native tool class specifies its required beta flag:
+```python
+class BashTool20250124(BaseAnthropicTool):
+    api_type = "bash_20250124"
+    name = "bash"
+    beta_flag = "computer-use-2025-11-24"  # Required for API
+```
+
+In `anthropic_oauth.py._make_request()`, collect beta flags:
+```python
+# Collect unique beta flags from native tools
+beta_flags = set()
+for tool in tools or []:
+    if hasattr(tool, 'beta_flag') and tool.beta_flag:
+        beta_flags.add(tool.beta_flag)
+
+# Add to API request headers
+if beta_flags:
+    headers["anthropic-beta"] = ",".join(sorted(beta_flags))
+```
+
+**Note**: All three tools (bash, text_editor, computer) currently use the same beta flag: `"computer-use-2025-11-24"` as of the 2025-11-24 tool version.
+
+### 8. Removing Overlapping Tools
+
+Once native tools are implemented and tested, remove overlapping custom tools:
+
+**To Remove**:
+- `ExecTool` → replaced by `BashTool20250124` (persistent session, better output)
+- `EditFileTool` → replaced by `EditTool20250728` (str_replace command)
+- Possibly `ReadFileTool`, `WriteFileTool` → `EditTool20250728` has `view` and `create` commands
+
+**To Keep**:
+- `ListDirTool` → no native equivalent
+- `WebSearchTool`, `WebFetchTool` → no native equivalent
+- `MessageTool`, `SpawnTool`, `WaitForSubagentsTool` → nanobot-specific
+- `CronTool` → nanobot-specific
+
+**Migration Notes**:
+- `EditTool20250728` only supports absolute paths (enforced in validation)
+- `BashTool20250124` maintains session state across calls (different from ExecTool's one-shot)
+- Test native tools thoroughly before removing custom ones
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Trained Behaviors**: Model knows how to use these tools from training, not instruction-following
+2. **Better Reliability**: Persistent bash sessions, validated file operations
+3. **New Capabilities**: Desktop interaction via computer tool
+4. **Future-Proof**: Easy to add more native tools as Anthropic releases them (just port implementation)
+5. **Unified System**: Both function tools and native tools work together in same request
+
+## Trade-offs
+
+1. **Code Duplication**: Porting reference implementations means maintaining separate codebase
+   - Mitigation: Keep close to reference implementation for easier updates
+2. **Version Management**: Need to track tool versions and beta flags
+   - Mitigation: Simple beta_flag attribute on tool classes
+3. **Testing Complexity**: Need to test both tool systems
+   - Mitigation: Gradual rollout, keep custom tools until native tools proven
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. All three native tools execute successfully
+2. Model can use bash, edit, and computer tools in same conversation
+3. Screenshots from computer tool visible to both model and user
+4. No regression in existing functionality (other tools still work)
+5. Performance comparable to custom tools
