Yuan Teoh 293c1d6889 feat!: update configuration file v2 (#2369)
This PR introduces a significant update to the Toolbox configuration
file format, which is one of the primary **breaking changes** required
for the implementation of the Advanced Control Plane.

# Summary of Changes
The configuration schema has been updated to enforce resource isolation
and facilitate atomic, incremental updates.
* Resource Isolation: Resource definitions are now separated into
individual blocks, using a distinct structure for each resource type
(Source, Tool, Toolset, etc.). This improves readability, management,
and auditing of configuration files.
* Field Name Modification: Internal field names have been modified to
align with declarative methodologies. Specifically, the configuration
now separates kind (general resource type, e.g., Source) from type
(specific implementation, e.g., Postgres).

# User Impact
Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.
Users must eventually update their files to the new YAML format.

# Mitigation & Compatibility
Backward compatibility is maintained during this transition to ensure no
immediate user action is required for existing files.
* Immediate Backward Compatibility: The source code includes a
pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration
files (v1 format) and converts them to the new v2 format under the hood.
* [COMING SOON] Migration Support: The new toolbox migrate subcommand
will be introduced to allow users to automatically convert their old
configuration files to the latest format.

# Example
Example for config file v2:
```
kind: sources
name: my-pg-instance
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project
region: my-region
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: my_user
password: my_pass
---
kind: authServices
name: my-google-auth
type: google
clientId: testing-id
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: some description
statement: SELECT * FROM SQL_STATEMENT;
parameters:
- name: country
  type: string
  description: some description
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool_2
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance

relational databases on Google Cloud Platform.

### Pre-built Configurations
- [Cloud SQL for Postgres using
MCP](https://googleapis.github.io/genai-toolbox/how-to/connect-ide/cloud_sql_pg_mcp/)
Connect your IDE to Cloud SQL for Postgres using Toolbox.
## Requirements
### IAM Permissions
By default, this source uses the [Cloud SQL Go Connector][csql-go-conn] to
authorize and establish mTLS connections to your Cloud SQL instance. The Go
connector uses your [Application Default Credentials (ADC)][adc] to authorize
your connection to Cloud SQL.
In addition to [setting the ADC for your server][set-adc], you need to ensure
the IAM identity has been given the following IAM roles (or corresponding
permissions):
- `roles/cloudsql.client`
{{< notice tip >}}
If you are connecting from Compute Engine, make sure your VM
also has the [proper
scope](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/access/service-accounts#accesscopesiam)
to connect using the Cloud SQL Admin API.

[adc]: <https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication#adc>
[set-adc]: <https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc>
### Networking
Cloud SQL supports connecting over both from external networks via the internet
([public IP][public-ip]), and internal networks ([private IP][private-ip]).
For more information on choosing between the two options, see the Cloud SQL page
[Connection overview][conn-overview].
You can configure the `ipType` parameter in your source configuration to
`public` or `private` to match your cluster's configuration. Regardless of which
you choose, all connections use IAM-based authorization and are encrypted with
mTLS.
[private-ip]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/configure-private-ip
[public-ip]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/configure-ip
[conn-overview]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/connect-overview
### Authentication
This source supports both password-based authentication and IAM
authentication (using your [Application Default Credentials][adc]).
#### Standard Authentication
To connect using user/password, [create
a PostgreSQL user][cloudsql-users] and input your credentials in the `user` and
`password` fields.
```yaml
user: ${USER_NAME}
password: ${PASSWORD}
```
#### IAM Authentication
To connect using IAM authentication:
1. Prepare your database instance and user following this [guide][iam-guide].
2. You could choose one of the two ways to log in:
- Specify your IAM email as the `user`.
- Leave your `user` field blank. Toolbox will fetch the [ADC][adc]
automatically and log in using the email associated with it.
3. Leave the `password` field blank.

## Example
```yaml
kind: sources
name: my-cloud-sql-pg-source
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project-id
region: us-central1
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: ${USER_NAME}
password: ${PASSWORD}
# ipType: "private"
```
{{< notice tip >}}
Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME}
instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.
