uv tool install does not respect index-url from pyproject.toml

[benjs]

UV tool does not look into the pyproject.toml for already specified indices.

pyproject.toml:

[tool.uv]
index-url = "https://<my-index-url.com>/pypi/pypi/simple"

command:

uv tool install ruff

uv --version:

uv 0.4.18

Specifying the index url with --index-url worked, but is annoying :)
Thanks for this great tool!

Thanks! This is actually intentional right now. We have a separate design for "project-level tools" (i.e., tools that would be versioned and installed as part of the project, but given their own independent virtual environments) that we want to implement to solve this specific use-case. It's part of #3560.

I'm gonna close in favor of that issue since we're tracking it centrally as part of that effort.

I'm also trying to configure uv tool install to adhere to a configuration provided in the pyproject.toml and not rely on the additional --default-index flag, preferably.

This issue was closed in favor of #3560, but that issue has also been resolved & closed without any mention of tool installation index. I would like this to be a feature of uv, if possible.

Is it acceptable to reopen this issue?
