lazy initialization that assigns self.__lock = asyncio.Lock() when self.__lock

replace self._lock = threading.Lock() with self._lock = asyncio.Lock() in the
ToolRegistry class and update every method that currently acquires/releases that
lock (e.g., register / unregister / get_tools / as_dict / any load/save helpers
used in tool handling) to be async and use async context management (async with
self._lock:) or await self._lock.acquire()/release() as appropriate; update
callers (like tool_handler and _handle_tools_list in MCP server code) to await

🧩 Analysis chain
🌐 Web query:
Does asyncio.Lock() raise RuntimeError on construction in Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 when called outside a running event loop?
💡 Result:
No, asyncio.Lock does not raise a RuntimeError on construction when called outside a running event loop in Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12 [1][2][3]. In earlier versions of Python (specifically prior to 3.10), asyncio synchronization primitives often attempted to bind to the current event loop upon instantiation [4]. If no event loop was running, this could lead to issues or unexpected behavior depending on the specific version and environment [5][4]. However, starting in Python 3.10, the implementation of asyncio.Lock was updated to remove the explicit loop parameter and change how the loop is associated with the lock [1][2]. The lock now lazily binds to the event loop when it is first used (e.g., when acquire is called), rather than at the time of construction [6][4]. Consequently, you can safely instantiate an asyncio.Lock object outside of an event loop in Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 without triggering a RuntimeError [4][3].

Fallback branch in _get_lock() is dead code and cannot recover from a RuntimeError.
In the except RuntimeError path:
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()is assigned and never used.self.__lock = asyncio.Lock()is the exact same call that just raised — if the first attempt raisedRuntimeError, this retry will too.
Additionally, asyncio.Lock() does not raise RuntimeError on construction in any supported Python version (3.9–3.12). In Python < 3.10, the constructor binds to the running event loop but does not raise if none is running; in Python >= 3.10, binding is deferred until first use. The try/except provides no real benefit while obscuring intent.
Simplify to a single construction and keep the lazy-init comment for context:
♻️ Proposed simplification
def _get_lock(self) -> asyncio.Lock:
"""Get the asyncio lock, creating it lazily if needed.
-
- This deferred creation is required for Python 3.9 compatibility
- where asyncio.Lock() calls get_event_loop() at creation time.
+
+ Deferred creation avoids touching the event loop at __init__ time,
+ which keeps the store safe to instantiate from sync contexts on
+ Python 3.9 (where asyncio.Lock() implicitly calls get_event_loop()).

Use asyncio.Lock instead of threading.Lock for async-safe concurrency.
threading.Lock is synchronous and blocks the thread while held. ToolRegistry is called from async contexts—specifically in src/praisonai/praisonai/mcp_server/recipe_adapter.py:320 (tool_handler), src/praisonai/praisonai/mcp_server/server.py:230 (_handle_tools_list), and other MCP server async methods. Using threading.Lock here will block the entire event loop, degrading concurrency and potentially causing deadlocks.
Replace threading.Lock() with asyncio.Lock() and convert lock-protected methods to async with await self._lock.acquire() / self._lock.release() or use async context managers.

test_get_stats_consistent_snapshot silently tests nothing
stats_reader runs in a plain OS thread and calls store.get_stats() without await, so each call produces a coroutine object that is immediately dropped — the actual body of get_stats() (including the asyncio.Lock acquisition and the snapshot) never executes. The test always passes, but it provides no evidence that concurrent mutations are handled correctly. Even if await were added, asyncio.Lock is bound to an event loop and cannot be acquired from a plain thread, so the underlying test design needs to be restructured (e.g., run both writer and reader as coroutines inside the event loop).
