Motivation and Context

The existing Inspector is hard to maintain for a number of reasons. We decided to create a more maintainable Inspector from the ground up, that retains the deterministic boundary of operation, but exposes a plugin architecture.

Track Protocol Conformance

• Identify any gaps in V1 inspector
• Track which features are covered
• Implement to parity and fill gaps
• Provide conformance testing in CI

Improve Maintainability

• Clearer separation of concerns
• Smaller, reusable components

Provide Extensibility

• Plugin SDK / API
• Third parties cand develop/maintain their own plugins for features such as
  • LLM usage
  • Evals
  • Multiple server connections
  • Apps playground
  • Testing of registry configuration
  • Interface with registry

Proper Documentation

• One big README won't cut it anymore
• Published documentation in MDX should
  • Render in style of spec
  • Kept up to date
  • Cover all features
  • Discuss troubleshooting strategies
  • Provide detailed contribution guidance that explains architecture and expected idioms
