Description

What is the type of issue?

Documentation is confusing

What is the issue?

Several functional capabilities are missing from any reachable schema:

  • dynamicTools (client-provided tools): DynamicToolSpec is defined but never referenced
  • collaborationMode (plan mode): CollaborationMode/ModeKind are defined but never referenced, and requires initialize.experimentalApi: true
  • Paginated history: ThreadHistoryMode, ThreadResumeInitialTurnsPageParams, TurnItemsView, and SortDirection are defined but never referenced
  • Multi-agents: MultiAgentMode is defined but never referenced (even though SubAgentActivity/CollabAgentToolCall exist as items)
  • thread/realtime/*: entirely absent from the schemas

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the reachable schema definitions and references for DynamicToolSpec, CollaborationMode, ThreadHistoryMode, MultiAgentMode, and the thread/realtime area. Check whether the listed types are exposed through the schemas and whether initialize.experimentalApi is documented. Done means the missing capabilities are represented or the documentation clearly explains their status; no file or test is named in the issue.
