"""Adversarial tool-catalog manipulation (EP-15-T03, README.md §46: tool
description poisoning, hidden tool invocation, tool name spoofing).

`CapabilityManifest` (EP-02-T01, `src/emcp_bus/registry/models.py`) has no
`description` field at all -- the Registry's job is entitlement/risk
metadata, not display text (see `tests/contract/test_sales_domain.py`'s
module docstring for the same finding from the EP-15-T01 side). The
human/LLM-facing `description` an agent actually sees comes from the *MCP
`Tool` object* the domain server itself declares (`@server.tool(...,
description=...)`, e.g. `services/example_mcp_servers/sales_domain/server.py`)
-- which is exactly why "tool description poisoning" is a domain-server-level
attack, not a Registry-level one: a malicious or compromised backend can put
anything it wants in that field. `test_a_poisoned_tool_description_...`
below stands up a real (if minimal) malicious MCP server in-process, wires
it in as the Sales backend via the same `SALES_DOMAIN_URL` env var
`governed_stack` uses, and proves the Gateway passes the poisoned text
through completely unexamined -- and, critically, that this changes nothing
about what the PEP/PDP will allow that client to do.
