7 tools total now:
- dialectic_list_topics
- dialectic_topic_detail
- dialectic_propose_topic
- dialectic_signup
- dialectic_post_argument
- dialectic_submit_verdict (NEW — POST /api/topics/{id}/verdict)
- dialectic_view_verdict
Also added contracts.tools entry for the new tool, updated README +
startup log line. Sim smoke verified the other 4 (list/propose/signup/
detail) via direct plugin import; submit_verdict not yet smoke-tested
end-to-end (requires running through a full debate to debate_end_at).
Code path is identical to other write tools — bearer + JSON body +
shape-coerced response.
Phase 3 of DIALECTIC-V2. Six tools wired to the Go backend running on
server.t3:
- dialectic_list_topics GET /api/topics
- dialectic_topic_detail GET /api/topics/{id}
- dialectic_propose_topic POST /api/topics
- dialectic_signup POST /api/topics/{id}/signups (HF pre-check)
- dialectic_post_argument POST /api/topics/{id}/arguments
- dialectic_view_verdict GET /api/topics/{id}/verdict
All tools return MCP {content:[{type:text,text}]} shape. Errors caught
and surfaced as text payload so agents see actionable failure messages.
Per-agent API key resolved via secret-mgr key dialectic-agent-apikey
(cached in memory; AGENT_VERIFY env required). HF on_call coverage
check degrades gracefully to skipped if HarborForge.OpenclawPlugin
does not yet expose hasOnCallCovering() — backend stores pre_validated
flag as audit signal.
openclaw.plugin.json declares both contracts.tools (the 6 names) AND
activation.onStartup:true per loader gotchas memory; missing either
silently drops the plugin.
Plain export default {id, name, register} entry shape matching
prism-facet. No openclaw SDK imports (jiti runtime resolution of
openclaw was flaky in HF-style entries; structurally simpler avoids
the lookup entirely).
Defaults backendUrl to https://dialectic-api.hangman-lab.top; override
via openclaw.json plugins.entries.dialectic.config.backendUrl for sim.
Phase 3 deferred items (in README): agent key provisioning workflow,
HF window-coverage accessor, SSE subscription tool, token-cost
reporting.
