nitin 6c1c0737b0 Clarify registry tools vs native model tool binding (#20022)
## Intent

This is a small foundation cleanup for the tool architecture.

The main decision is: registry tools and native SDK/model tools are
different things.

- Registry tools have descriptors, schemas, catalog entries, and execute
through `ToolExecutorService`
- Native model tools are opaque AI SDK objects, bound directly into the
model `ToolSet`
- Surfaces still own their policy: chat, MCP, and workflow agents decide
what they expose

## What changed

- Removed `NATIVE_MODEL` from `ToolCategory`
- Kept `ToolRegistryService` focused on registry-backed tools only
- Moved native model tool binding through `NativeToolBinderService`
- Reused native binding from chat instead of duplicating
provider-specific web-search logic
- Kept MCP local execution exclusions in a dedicated constant
- Moved surface-specific constants into dedicated constant files

## What comes next

- Move hardcoded chat app preloads, like Exa web search, into
app/manifest metadata
- Decide a clearer policy for local runtime tools like code interpreter
and HTTP request
- Gradually document the three tool shapes: registry tools, native model
tools, and local runtime tools

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty deploy

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
