### Problem/Motivation
In this issue we'll outline beta blockers and can record any higher level conversation around a path to Tool API beta.
### Remaining tasks
As of now, these are the issues I'd like to sort out prior to beta.
* [<span dir="">~~#3557721: Move tools out of Tool API~~</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3557721 "Status: Closed (fixed)")
* [<span dir="">~~#3555051: Add isAvailable method to the ToolInterface and ToolBase~~</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3555051 "Status: Closed (fixed)")
* ~~Finish config schema in InputAdapters~~
* ~~Finish 'configure' form~~
* [<span dir="">~~#3554069: Add an 'operation' property to tool definitions~~</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3554069 "Status: Closed (fixed)")
* [<span dir="">~~#3558039: \[Discuss\] Make 'Label' and 'Description' required for all input definitions~~</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3558039 "Status: Closed (fixed)")
* <span dir=""> https://git.drupalcode.org/project/tool/-/work_items/3571742</span>
**Potentially not needed for Beta**
* [<span dir="">#3558038: \[Discuss\] Introduce optional 'primary_input' option in tool definition</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3558038 "Status: Postponed") (Leaning toward leaving this out, as it will be optional, we can always add later)
* [<span dir="">#3558037: Allow tool execute to be previewed</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3558037 "Status: Postponed (maintainer needs more info)")
* [<span dir="">~~#3550815: \[Discuss\] Pull out 'handle' behavior into own service or module~~</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3550815 "Status: Active")
* Add OutputDefinition?
* [<span dir="">#3546848: Add a verbose/help description to ToolDefinition</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3546848 "Status: Postponed") - Can be added in the future, non beta blocking and should confirm is necessary
* <span dir=""> https://git.drupalcode.org/project/tool/-/work_items/3562612</span> - Can be added in the future, non beta blocking but nice to have
* [<span dir="">#3546476: Implement Hook:ai_tools_property_alter for handling MapContextDefinition and ListContextDefinition</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/tool/issues/3546476 "Status: Active") - Needed before release, but not beta blocking
**Potentially AI Agent Related:**
* [<span dir="">#3556140: \[Discuss\] Allow usage of Tool API in Agents</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/ai/issues/3556140 "Status: Active")
* [<span dir="">#3552140: (Discuss) Improve the add/edit Agent UI to make it less overwhelming</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/ai/issues/3552140 "Status: Active") - Some of this is related to Tool
* [<span dir="">#3556380: Create agents as Tools</span>](https://www.drupal.org/project/ai/issues/3556380 "Status: Active")
