Description

tool.execute.before receives an output object with args, but the tool wrapper still executes the tool with the original args variable. If a tool call starts with missing arguments, a hook cannot replace them with a new object.

This affects both native tools and MCP tools. A simple reproducer is a hook that sets output.args = { injected: true } for a zero-arg tool call. The tool still runs without the injected arguments unless the wrapper uses the mutated hook output.

Plugins

A local plugin using tool.execute.before to attach metadata to tool arguments.

OpenCode version

dev branch

Steps to reproduce

1. Register a tool that can be called without arguments.
2. Add a tool.execute.before hook that replaces output.args with a new object.
3. Call the tool without arguments.
4. Observe that the tool executes with the original missing args instead of the replacement object.
