I contributed to a terminal coding agent’s lifecycle, task routing, and tool discovery.
Rust · MCP
Where it fits
The Rust runtime owns the execution loop and tool registry. The terminal is the user interface for the coding agent. External MCP tools are adapted into the registry so calls go through the runtime’s existing validation and error handling.
How it works
Follow the workflow step by step.
01 Register
The runtime tracks agent lifecycle and matches agents by capability.
02 Route
Work is routed to a recipient’s bounded inbox. A full queue is a condition the sender must handle.
03 Discover
The MCP client adapts external tools into the native tool registry.
