0 / 5 completedBuilding Your Own Tool Registry
Sometimes you need complete control over your tool ecosystem. A custom registry lets you manage internal APIs, enforce access policies, and track usage across your organization.
Essential Registry Features
Tool Discovery
CriticalAgents can list and search available tools
→ Simple dict or database lookup
Version Control
HighTrack tool versions and breaking changes
→ Semantic versioning (v1.2.3)
Access Control
MediumRestrict tools based on permissions
→ Role-based access control
Usage Analytics
MediumMonitor which tools are used and how often
→ Logging + metrics dashboard

Recommended Approach:
Simple Dict
Hardcoded dictionary of tools
Pros:
Fast to implement
Cons:
No versioning or analytics
Example: Python Registry Implementation
A production-ready custom registry with versioning and analytics
