Tool Input Coercion for Numeric Parameters

Entry
JSON All of v2.1.79
EntryKind: in v2.1.79,
ChangesSection of the release

Bash tool's timeout parameter and Grep tool's numeric parameters (-A, -B, -C, context, head_limit, offset) now accept string representations of numbers and coerce them to numeric types. This prevents errors when the model passes "5000" instead of 5000.

Evidence

Numeric string coercion wrapper (search for "oR(" in the Grep and Bash tool schema definitions)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
