Rethinking Agent Plugins: Auto-Loading, Zero-IPC, and Strict Capability Scoping
Published: 2026-10-29 · Engineering
Why dynamic runtime tool discovery degraded agent reasoning, and how Weavetab 2.5 replaced dynamic tool-loading with an in-process, statically-scoped plugin architecture that preserves context windows and eliminates IPC latency.
## The Genesis: Why Dynamic Tool Discovery Failed
Early agent designs tried to mirror operating system package managers. The thinking was straightforward: agents shouldn't carry every tool in memory. Instead, expose meta-primitives like \
