refactor(types): replace json-schema library with custom JSONSchema type#220
Conversation
- Define comprehensive JSONSchema interface in types.ts covering all JSON Schema draft-07 properties - Add toJsonSchema() method to BaseTool and Tools classes for framework-agnostic schema export - Refactor toOpenAI(), toAnthropic(), and toOpenAIResponses() to use toJsonSchema() internally, reducing code duplication - Use type-fest OverrideProperties for ObjectJSONSchema type to ensure type: 'object' is always set - Remove json-schema and @types/json-schema dependencies This reduces external dependencies while providing a more flexible JSONSchema type that works seamlessly with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other LLM providers.
commit: |
Consolidate schema generation by reusing toJsonSchema() instead of manually constructing the schema object. This reduces duplication and ensures consistency across all conversion methods.

Pull request overview
This PR removes external JSON Schema dependencies (json-schema and @types/json-schema) in favor of a custom JSONSchema interface, reducing external dependencies while maintaining full compatibility with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other LLM providers.
Key Changes:
- Introduced a comprehensive custom
JSONSchemainterface covering all JSON Schema draft-07 properties - Added
toJsonSchema()methods toBaseToolandToolsclasses for framework-agnostic schema export - Refactored existing methods (
toOpenAI(),toAnthropic(),toOpenAIResponses()) to use the newtoJsonSchema()internally

This reduces external dependencies while providing a more flexible JSONSchema type that works seamlessly with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other LLM providers. The custom type also uses
type-fest'sOverridePropertiesfor cleaner type narrowing (ObjectJSONSchema).The
toJsonSchema()method enables integration with any framework that accepts standard JSON Schema for tool definitions, such as:Test plan
