toolNameMatchesPattern

toolNameMatchesPattern(name, pattern): boolean

Defined in: _worktrees/docs-release/gaunt-sloth/packages/core/src/utils/toolMatching.ts:26

Match a single tool name against a single pattern.

• A pattern with no * is an exact match (name === pattern), preserving the original exact-name allow-list behavior.
• A pattern containing * is treated glob-style: each * matches any run of characters (including none) and every other character is matched literally. The whole name must match — the pattern is anchored at both ends.

Regex metacharacters in the literal segments are escaped, so a . or + in a pattern matches that character literally, never as a regex class.

Parameters

name

string

pattern

string

Returns

boolean
