  run,
  setOnChange,
  setLogger
} from '@vox-ai-app/tools/registry'

setLogger(logger)
setOnChange(() => {
  /* tool list changed */
})

registerAll(tools)

const { client, tools } = await connectMcpServer(server)
registerMcp(server, client, tools)

const result = await run('read_file', { path: '~/notes.md' }, { signal })

await createPdfDocument({ path: '~/report.pdf', content: '# Title\n\nBody text.' })
await createPresentationDocument({ path: '~/slides.pptx', slides: [...] })
