# Description of Changes Fixes one of the main causes of `any` typing left in tools, the way that we register tool parameters in the registry. Currently, it just accepts tool params via `any`, but instead we can explicitly change them to `Record<string, unknown)`, so on the way back out they can more safely be cast back to their correct type when known. One consequence of this is that I had to redesign the way we special-case the Convert tool, which previously was a different shape than all the other param types. Now it's just got optional parameters on it, which isn't quite as type-safe as before, but it does mean all tools are a consistent shape now, which I think is worth the tradeoff.
