:❓ Verification inconclusive
New
RoleSystem
constant introduced – verify all switch / validation logic is updatedAdding a new enum value often requires touching every switch / validation block that discriminates on
Role
.
Please grep the codebase forswitch.*Role
or similar constructs and ensure the"system"
branch is handled explicitly (or in a safe default).
Otherwise a server or client could silently reject or mis-handle legitimate system-prompt messages.
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Locate all switch statements (or if-chains) that pattern-match on Role values. rg --line-number --context 2 $'switch\\s+.*Role' | head -n 40Length of output: 61
Manual Verification Required: No
switch
/case
onRole
FoundI ran a search for any
switch
orcase
statements matching onRole
but didn’t find any occurrences in the codebase. It’s still possible validation or routing logic handles roles via if-chains or helper functions (e.g.ValidateRole
, JSON unmarshal hooks, middleware, etc.).Please manually verify that every place the old
Role
values were checked or validated now explicitly handlesRoleSystem
(or has a safe default), including but not limited to:
- Any
ValidateRole
-style functions or methods onRole
- JSON (un)marshalling hooks or custom unmarshallers for
Role
- Any middleware, handler dispatch, or business-logic branches that discriminate on role
- Client-side code or tests that assert valid

SetRequestHandler
silently ignores the supplied handler
Clients calling this assume bidirectional requests are now supported, yet the function discards the handler, leading to hard-to-trace bugs.
Options:
- Store the handler even if unused (future-proof) or
- Return an explicit error / panic to signal unsupported feature.
Minimal defensive fix:
func (c *SSE) SetRequestHandler(handler RequestHandler) {
- // SSE transport does not support server-to-client requests yet
- // This is a placeholder for interface compatibility
+ if handler != nil {
+ // Reject early – SSE currently one-way only.
+ fmt.Printf("transport/sse: SetRequestHandler called but SSE does not support server-initiated requests\n")
+ }
}
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In client/transport/sse.go around lines 297 to 302, the SetRequestHandler method
currently ignores the supplied handler, which can cause confusion and bugs since
clients expect bidirectional support. To fix this, either store the handler in a
field for future use or modify the method to return an error or panic explicitly
indicating that bidirectional requests are not supported. This change will make
the limitation clear and prevent silent failures.

In server/sampling.go around lines 203 to 228, the sendSamplingRequest function
incorrectly accesses req.Params, but the CreateMessageRequest type uses the
field CreateMessageParams. Replace req.Params with req.CreateMessageParams in
the call to sessionWithRequests.SendRequest to fix the field access error.

Missing import for fmt.
The Go example uses fmt.Errorf
and fmt.Sprintf
but the import only includes context
and server
. Add "fmt"
to prevent compilation errors.

: Scanner default token size (64 KiB) may truncate large messages
bufio.Scanner
stops scanning when token size exceeds 64 KiB. Large sampling responses can hit this limit and yield aErrTooLong

Concurrent writes to stdin
can interleave – introduce a write-mutex
sendResponse
, SendRequest

may all execute from different goroutines and write to the same io.WriteCloser
. *os.File
writes are not guaranteed to be atomic for arbitrary lengths – partial interleaving will corrupt the JSON-RPC stream.
Add a sync.Mutex
(e.g. writeMu
) to Stdio
and guard every Write
call (including the ones in SendRequest
and SendNotification

interleaved output and corrupt the JSON-RPC stream. To fix this, add a
sync.Mutex field (e.g., writeMu) to the Stdio struct and use it to lock around
every Write call in these methods, ensuring only one goroutine writes at a time.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Race-prone concurrent writes to stdout
SendRequest
, handleNotifications
, and handleInput
all write to the shared stdout
without coordination. Two goroutines can interleave bytes and break the JSON-RPC framing.
Introduce a sync.Mutex
in stdioSession
(or pass a sync.Writer
wrapper) and guard every Write
to stdout
.
Also applies to: 241-254, 309-312
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In server/stdio.go around lines 160 to 165, the writes to s.stdout are not
synchronized, causing potential race conditions and interleaved output. To fix
this, add a sync.Mutex field to the stdioSession struct and lock it before every
write to s.stdout, unlocking immediately after. Apply this mutex locking pattern
also to the writes in lines 241-254 and 309-312 to ensure all stdout writes are
properly serialized.

readResponses
can hang afterClose()
If
c.done
is closed while the goroutine is blocked inReadString
, it will not unblock because only the outerselect
checksc.done
. Consider:
- Closing the stdout pipe on
Close()
(or killing the process) so the read unblocks, or- Switching to
io.ReadString
under acontext.Context
with cancellation.Without this, the goroutine may leak.
