ADR-0012: Display available tools in a dropdown and allow selection from there for creating a server¶
- Status: Draft
- Date: 2025-06-22
- Deciders: Core Engineering Team
Context¶
The current solution provides a text box for users where they can enter tool ids to link to a server
With the change of IDs from integers to UUIDs, this process is more cumbursome.
This is modified so that users can select from tool names from a drop down.
Decision¶
We implemented this by making the following changes:
- Replace text box with a dropdown element keeping the styling consistent with the to the tailwind styling used
- Users select names, but the selected tool
ids are sent to the API for databse storage -
Make this change in server creation and editing screens
-
Add a span to display selected tools
- Display the selected tools below the dropdown
- Show a warning if more than 6 tools are selected in a server. This is to encourage small servers more suited for use with agents.
