"""Expose the in-process server's toolset as a Home Assistant LLM API (#1745).
While the in-process server entry is up, the ha-mcp toolset is registered as
one or two LLM APIs (``homeassistant.helpers.llm``). Any Home Assistant
conversation agent — OpenAI, Google, Ollama, Anthropic, or any other — can
then select it in its "Control Home Assistant" option, and the user chats
with the toolset through the surfaces Home Assistant already has: the Assist
chat UI, the companion apps, and voice satellites. No separate chat frontend
is needed.
Two exposure modes (the ``llm_api_exposure`` entry option picks which are
registered; default is tool-search only):
* **tool search** — the agent gets a tiny catalog: the server's pinned tools
mirrored directly, plus two meta-tools synthesized here: ``ha_search_tools``
(find tools by task) and ``ha_call_tool`` (execute a discovered tool). This
keeps per-turn context small — the shape context-limited models need.
* **full** — every exposed tool is mirrored directly into the agent's tool
list, one schema each.
**Per-tool exposure is decided by the server, not here.** The server stamps
every ``tools/list`` entry with ``_meta.ha_mcp = {llm_api_exposed, pinned}``
(see ``src/ha_mcp/llm_exposure.py``): user toggles from the settings UI, with
deny-by-default for beta/developer/restart-reload-backup tools. Both modes
filter on the stamp, and the tool-search ``ha_call_tool`` forwarder re-checks
it at call time — a hidden tool is invisible (absent from lists and search
results) and a hallucinated call to one gets a plain unknown-tool error, the
same answer a nonexistent tool gets, so nothing leaks. Globally-disabled
tools never appear in ``tools/list`` at all and the server rejects calling
them by name, and every forwarded call traverses the server's policy /
read-only middleware exactly like any MCP client's call.
The server runs on its own worker thread behind a loopback HTTP listener, and
``ha_mcp`` must never be imported in the HA main process (see
:mod:`embedded_server`), so this module talks real MCP to the server over
loopback streamable HTTP. The ``mcp`` client SDK arrives with the
runtime-installed ha-mcp package (a fastmcp dependency), so every SDK import
here is lazy and the first one runs on the executor.
The tool list is fetched fresh on every ``async_get_api_instance`` call (once
per conversation turn): exposure toggles and runtime-registered custom tools
apply on the agent's next message, and two loopback round-trips per turn are
noise next to the LLM call itself. Tool calls likewise open a short-lived
stateless session each — the in-process server serves ``stateless_http=True``.
