The term changes buyer and operator decisions when tool access, data exposure, or support ownership is involved.

Tool Registry
A tool registry is the governed inventory of agent tools, owners, permission classes, descriptions, versions, and audit rules.
Definition
A tool registry is the governed inventory of agent tools, owners, permission classes, descriptions, versions, and audit rules. In PRO71 delivery, the term matters because it changes how AI tool access is scoped, reviewed, observed, and supported.
In practical context
Tool Registry is used when teams need clearer boundaries around MCP, agent workflows, production diagnostics, or security gates.
Why it matters
Tool Registry becomes more useful when it is tied to one permission, evidence, or operating decision.
Common misconceptions
Tool Registry can be decided after launch.
For enterprise AI systems, this boundary should be designed before production exposure.
