Summary

Fixes item #169's completion gate (item done/check_merge) so it correctly sees verification commands and mutating edits routed through the flare gateway (mcp__flare__tool(action="execute", server="leanctx", ...)).

Root cause: the completion gate, the mutating-tool branch guard, and destructive-command detection all classify the raw tool_name/tool_input Claude Code sends. When a verification command or a ctx_patch/ctx_edit edit is routed through the flare gateway — which apply_gateway_permissions actively steers agents toward by stripping direct mcp__lean-ctx__* permissions — the real command/tool sits one level deeper, under tool_input.args. None of these classifiers looked there, so a verification command run via ctx_shell was never recorded as evidence at all: the gate rejected item done/check_merge on every retry, even seconds after a passing test run.

Fix:

  • Adds hook_redirect::unwrap_gateway_call, which unwraps a gateway action="execute" call to its real tool+args before classification, wired into both hook.rs::parse_pre_tool_use and hook_completion_gate.rs::parse_post_tool_use.
  • Extends the destructive-command guard's Bash-family match arm to cover ctx_shell directly (a related, separate gap).
  • output_text extraction now unwraps the MCP content-block envelope, so a genuine failing gateway-routed run isn't defaulted to "passed" by the permissive fallback.

Test plan

  • 12 new unit tests covering unwrap_gateway_call and the gateway-routed parsing paths
  • cargo test --bin agentflare hook_ — 69/69 passed
  • cargo fmt clean on the three touched files
  • cargo clippy (CI's exact flags) clean on the three touched files — a full-workspace run separately surfaced pre-existing, unrelated lint failures in agentflare-store/flare-workflow, filed as item fix(flare-proxy): OpenAI-compatible tool_choice shape + duplicate message_stop #560

Closes item #559.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of gateway-routed tool calls so commands are correctly recognized, redirected, and evaluated.
    • Improved completion checks for gateway responses, including structured content responses and failure detection.
    • Added support for translating supported gateway calls into their intended context tools.
    • Strengthened protection against destructive context data-file commands, including shell-based commands.
    • Added safeguards for incomplete or unsupported gateway call arguments.

item done/check_merge's verification gate, the mutating-tool branch guard,
and destructive-command detection all classify raw tool_name/tool_input as
Claude Code sends it. When a verification command or a ctx_patch/ctx_edit
edit is routed through the flare gateway
(mcp__flare__tool(action="execute", server="leanctx", tool=..., args={...})) --
which apply_gateway_permissions actively steers agents toward by stripping
direct mcp__lean-ctx__* permissions -- the real command/tool sits one level
deeper, under tool_input.args, where none of these classifiers looked.

Result: a verification command run via ctx_shell was never recorded as
evidence, so the completion gate rejected item done/check_merge on every
retry even seconds after a passing test run. Gateway-routed ctx_patch/
ctx_edit edits were also invisible to the branch guard and to
invalidate_verification.

Adds hook_redirect::unwrap_gateway_call to unwrap a gateway
action="execute" call to its real tool+args before classification, wired
into both hook.rs::parse_pre_tool_use and
hook_completion_gate.rs::parse_post_tool_use. Also covers ctx_shell in the
destructive-command guard's Bash-family match arm, and makes output-text
extraction unwrap the MCP content-block envelope so a genuine failing
gateway-routed run isn't defaulted to "passed".

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The hooks now unwrap Lean context calls routed through the flare gateway. Pre-tool and post-tool processing use the normalized tool name and arguments. Completion parsing also reads MCP content-block output, and ctx_shell receives destructive database-file protection.

Changes

Gateway tool normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gateway unwrapping and command protection
src/hook_redirect.rs
unwrap_gateway_call converts eligible leanctx gateway executions into native tool calls. Non-matching inputs pass through. ctx_shell uses destructive database-file protection. Tests cover normalization and protection cases.
Pre-tool hook integration
src/hook.rs, src/hook_redirect.rs
parse_pre_tool_use unwraps gateway calls before downstream tool processing.
Completion gate and MCP output parsing
src/hook_completion_gate.rs
parse_post_tool_use unwraps gateway executions and reads verification output from MCP content blocks. Tests cover commands, searches, and failure markers.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4a238

Gateway-routed verification and edits may bypass completion tracking, while failed MCP verification can be recorded as passing. These completion-gate correctness issues should be fixed before merge.

Register the raw gateway tool for PostToolUse.

src/init.rs:295-315 matches Bash-family names, item, and direct names from MUTATING_TOOLS. The host evaluates that matcher against raw mcp__flare__tool before this parser can unwrap it.

Therefore, gateway-routed ctx_shell verification is not recorded. Gateway-routed ctx_patch and ctx_edit also do not invalidate prior verification evidence. Add mcp__flare__tool to the PostToolUse matcher and add an end-to-end dispatch test.

Model Context Protocol CallToolResult isError content array specification 2025-06-18

💡 Result:

In the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the CallToolResult is the structure returned by a server in response to a tools/call request [1][2]. As of the June 18, 2025, specification, the CallToolResult interface is defined with the following key fields related to your query: content: ContentBlock[] This field contains an array of content objects (unstructured data) representing the result of the tool call [1][3]. Even when a tool call fails, this array should contain the error information (e.g., text explaining the failure) that allows the language model to understand and potentially correct the error [4][2][3]. isError: boolean (optional) This field indicates whether the tool execution was successful [1][3]. - If set to true, it signifies that the tool call resulted in an error (e.g., API failure, invalid input, or business logic error) [5][4][3]. - If not set or set to false, it is assumed the call was successful [1][2][3]. - Errors originating from the tool should be reported via this field rather than as JSON-RPC protocol-level errors, ensuring the LLM can see the error details [1][4][3]. For complete technical specifications, you can refer to the official MCP schema definitions, such as the schema file from June 18, 2025 [1][3].

Citations:


Treat MCP tool errors as failed verification and scan every text block.

parse_post_tool_use reads only the first content block and ignores isError. A failure marker in a later block, or isError: true without a marker in the first block, can make verification_passed record failed verification as passing evidence. Preserve isError, combine all text blocks before scanning markers, and fail when isError is true. Add tests for both cases.

Moves paths, state, store, errors, dispatch_failure_ceiling, and

near-zero fan-out within src/ but very high fan-in (paths alone is
referenced by 77+ files), so every later root-crate-split slice needs
them without duplicating them or reaching back into root and creating a
cycle (see item #653 / artifact "2026-09-25-root-crate-split").

Root src/main.rs re-exports the moved modules via `use agentflare_core::X`
so existing crate::X call sites across the codebase keep working
unchanged. Pure move: only incidental changes are pub(crate) -> pub
visibility widening (now cross-crate) and a #[cfg(test)] -> test-support
feature conversion for paths::test_support, since #[cfg(test)] doesn't
cross crate boundaries.

* fix(agentflare-bin-lib): rename crate, feature-gate rmcp, fix cfg(test) gap

Addresses the automated review on PR #816 (mid-layer crate misnamed as
foundation, MCP SDK leaking into every consumer, doc/cfg cleanup):

- Renamed crates/agentflare-core -> crates/agentflare-bin-lib. The crate
  depends on agentflare-backend/store/registries, so it sits above them,
  not below -- not a dependency-free foundation crate, despite the old name.
- Made rmcp optional behind a new "mcp" feature; the AgentflareError ->
  rmcp::ErrorData conversion and map_backend_err are now gated on it, so a
  consumer that only wants e.g. paths::home() doesn't pull in the full MCP
  SDK. The root binary crate enables the feature.
- test_support is now #[cfg(any(test, feature = "test-support"))] instead
  of feature-only, so

test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 0.00s needs no
  --features flag; dropped the crate's self-referencing dev-dependency in
  favor of a plain tempfile dev-dependency.
- Clarified doc comments in dispatch_failure_ceiling.rs that named
  cross-crate items (supervisor::, quota::, cli::work::) now live in the
  root crate, not this one, and nothing enforces they stay in sync.
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md/README.md: workspace member count (28, not 17)
  and the src/ file listing (paths.rs/state.rs moved out).

Also rebased the branch onto master (was 3 commits + unrelated CI/GitHub
history behind) to clear the CONFLICTING merge state, and regenerated
Cargo.lock for the rename.

Verified: cargo check/clippy --workspace clean, cargo fmt clean,
cargo hakari verify clean (a hakari regenerate attempt was reverted --
it silently broke the Windows CreateFileW build despite reporting
verify-clean, so the pre-rebase workspace-hack content was kept),
cargo nextest run --workspace: 3718/3722 passed, remaining 4 are
pre-existing environmental flakes unrelated to this change (2 already
documented by this PR's own prior verification comment, 2 more are
resource-contention timeouts under full-parallel load that pass in
isolation).

* fix(agentflare-bin-lib): use a minimal Cargo.lock update, not a full regen

The previous commit's Cargo.lock came from a full `cargo generate-lockfile`
during rebase conflict resolution, which silently bumped unrelated
transitive dependency versions (syn split into v2+v3, base64/crc32fast
added, aho-corasick dropped, a windows-sys feature dropped) beyond what
the crate rename needed. That's what broke `cargo hakari generate --diff`
(CI's hakari check) and, separately, the Windows CreateFileW build I hit
locally.

Verified in isolation (throwaway worktree at the pre-fix rebase commit):
restoring master's exact Cargo.lock makes `cargo hakari generate --diff`
produce zero diff, proving the drift was entirely an artifact of the
unconstrained regen, not the rebase or the rename itself.

Fix: reset Cargo.lock to master's exact content, then let a plain
`cargo check` add only the new agentflare-bin-lib package entry (23-line
diff, pure addition, no other version changes). Re-verified clean:
clippy --workspace, hakari verify, and the crate's own 27 tests.
