MCP clients gain profile editing and project authorization-context reads through existing Workstream APIs. Backend policy and lifecycle behavior are unchanged.

Alternatives Rejected

  • No backend-private imports, direct database access, copied permission rules or temporary API substitutes.
  • No automatic mutation retries: an unkeyed PATCH may already have committed when its response is lost.
  • No later catalogue tools or public deployment work in this chunk.

Scope Control

Allowed Files Changed

  • mcp_server/ runtime, selected contracts, tests, package metadata and README.
  • .github/workflows/mcp.yml: exact three-tool assertion only.
  • WS-MCP-002 overview/change record, initiative index and affected roadmap text.

Files Outside Stated Scope

  • None. Backend runtime and the completed WS-MCP-002-01 record are unchanged by this PR.

Product Behavior

  • Product behavior changed and is explained here: MCP clients gain profile editing and project authorization-context reads through existing Workstream APIs. Backend policy and lifecycle behavior are unchanged.

Result Summary

  • 134 non-integration tests passed, zero skips; 93.75% coverage.
  • Ruff, strict mypy, selected backend OpenAPI comparison and installed-wheel independence passed.
  • Wheel build, documentation checks, Commitrail and whitespace checks passed.
  • All 13 hosted checks passed on e20c125c, including real API parity, package/container, Agent Gates, and backend lanes.
  • The local PostgreSQL version cannot run current migrations and Docker was unavailable; the successful hosted PostgreSQL 16 and container jobs supply that evidence for e20c125c.
  • Maintainer-review follow-up: 20 normalization parity cases passed against the actual backend model. The strengthened persisted-email sequence passed on the hosted real-process run.

Acceptance Criteria Proof

  • Exactly three tools, zero resources and zero prompts.
  • Missing, extra, wrong-type, blank, NUL and over-limit inputs reject before dispatch; maximum-valid lengths are accepted.
  • Profile omission, explicit null and normalization are preserved.
  • Fixed method/path/query/body and unchanged bearer forwarding are tested.
  • Ambiguous mutation outcomes are non-retryable and preserve safe correlation information.
  • Selected contracts are packaged and compared with backend OpenAPI.
  • Hosted installed-process update/context/revocation parity passed on e20c125c.
  • Fresh hosted run passed after the maintainer-requested test refinements.
  • Required focused reviews of the final commit are complete.

Test Delta

Tests Added

  • Positive and negative profile/context input boundaries and wire bindings.
  • Unkeyed PATCH behavior, proxy-error uncertainty, explicit API rejection controls and malformed success handling.
  • Strict response formats and safe concealed-context errors.
  • Real-process profile update, context access, foreign-caller concealment and grant revocation assertions.
  • Direct backend-model normalization parity for both editable fields: trim, Unicode whitespace, interior spaces, null, blank and NUL.

Tests Modified

  • Catalogue and container assertions now require exactly three tools.
  • Contract drift checks cover all three selected operations.
  • Schema loader tests follow the generalized selected-contract loader.
  • Installed-process profile updates now set a non-null email, prove omission preserves it, and prove explicit null clears it, checking persisted state through the API after every update.

Tests Removed Or Skipped

  • Removed the superseded profile-specific schema-loader fallback assertion when that fallback was removed.
  • No skips were introduced. The final non-integration command enabled both conditional contract/wheel checks.
  • The real-process integration test is a separate required CI lane.

Impact-Routed Reviewer Results

Lead review found and fixed proxy-error mutation uncertainty, incorrect profile-update annotations and inconsistent chunk-map wording. All requested maintainer refinements are implemented and validated on e20c125c.

External Review

GitHub checks passed on e20c125c. CodeRabbit reported no actionable code findings on that SHA. Abiorh requested stronger persistence and normalization proof; both test changes are included and fully verified.

CI And Gate Integrity

  • No workflow weakening.
  • No lint/test/docstring gate weakening.
  • No coverage threshold weakening.
  • No package script weakening.
  • No unpinned new GitHub Action.
  • Checkout credential persistence remains disabled.

Remaining Risks

  • Local mock and fixture evidence does not certify deployed Flow Identity, public gateway behavior or all MCP clients.
  • Upstream authorization catalogue changes require deliberate selected-contract reconciliation.

Follow-Up Work

WS-MCP-002-03 owns administrative read projections after this chunk is reviewed and merged.

Human Review Focus

  • Bearer isolation, strict input/output contracts and safe API denial propagation.
  • Omission versus null, destructive annotation and uncertain unkeyed PATCH outcomes.
  • Exact-project context concealment and immediate effect of revoked authority.

Human Merge Ownership

  • I can explain what changed.
  • I can explain why it changed.
  • I know what could break.
  • I accept the remaining risks.
  • The user explicitly approved this specific PR for merge.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added tools to update your profile and retrieve authorization details for a specific project.
    • Profile updates support changing or clearing contact details and display name.
    • Project access denials avoid exposing private project roles or permissions.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the tool catalogue and roadmap to reflect three available self-service tools, with administrative reads next.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MCP adapter adds profile-update and exact-project authorization-context tools alongside profile read. It adds OpenAPI contracts, request validation, gateway handling, tool registration, and tests. Documentation and status records now describe three delivered self-service tools.

Changes

Self-service profile and authorization tools

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contracts and shared schema validation
mcp_server/contracts/*, mcp_server/workstream_mcp/schemas.py, mcp_server/pyproject.toml, mcp_server/tests/test_contract_drift.py, mcp_server/tests/test_schemas.py
Adds profile-update and authorization-context contract snapshots. Generalizes output-schema loading and validation across three contracts, enables format checks, and packages all contract JSON files.
Tool handlers and gateway requests
mcp_server/workstream_mcp/tools/*, mcp_server/workstream_mcp/http_gateway.py, mcp_server/tests/test_http_gateway.py, mcp_server/tests/test_protocol.py, mcp_server/tests/conftest.py
Adds profile-update input normalization and authorization-context handling. Routes profile updates through one PATCH and context reads through a project-specific GET. Tests cover validation, error handling, and uncertain outcomes for ambiguous update responses.
Tool registration and end-to-end coverage
mcp_server/workstream_mcp/server.py, mcp_server/tests/test_catalogue.py, mcp_server/tests/integration/test_profile_flow.py, .github/workflows/mcp.yml, mcp_server/README.md, docs/roadmap_status.md, .commitrail/INDEX.md, .commitrail/initiatives/WS-MCP-002/*
Registers the three tools and updates catalogue, smoke, and integration coverage. Updates documentation and initiative records to describe the three-tool boundary and the next planned chunk.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e20c1

The initiative status and recorded validation evidence disagree. Reconcile the record before relying on its Complete status; this is a bounded documentation follow-up.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e20c1

Clients gain access to profile editing and project authorization information. The adapter preserves the caller’s credentials and uses existing API routes, but the project-read authorization and deployment exposure need confirmation before the security boundary can be assessed fully.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — An MCP caller with a bearer can now request a profile change or select a project for an authorization-context read. The maximum readable project scope cannot be established without the backend context-route enforcement and deployment exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The adapter checks bearer form before dispatch and forwards the caller bearer; it does not itself establish project membership. Backend authorization-denial mapping includes concealment for authorization-context reads, but the inspected evidence does not connect that control to the exact context route.
  • observed — The gateway returns mapped failures and allowlisted public error codes rather than returning raw backend error bodies.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Single-shot mutation handling limits adapter-driven duplicate writes after an uncertain response. Cancellation still leaves commit status unreported through this handler; whether the client can receive or reconcile an outcome depends on its interrupted connection.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Confirm the exact backend authorization-context route rejects foreign-project and revoked-bearer reads, and verify the gateway’s deployed exposure and bearer-handling configuration.

Thanks @ChuloWay this is in good shape. Two final items before approval:

  • Strengthen the real-process profile-update proof: set a non-null contact_email, prove an update that omits it preserves it, then send contact_email: null and prove it is actually cleared.
  • Add a focused parity test for the profile normalization rules we mirror locally (trim / blank / NUL), since those semantics are not fully captured by OpenAPI drift checks.

Also please update the trust-bundle checkboxes/text now that hosted CI and real-process evidence are green on the final SHA.

Thanks Victor — the MCP changes look good now. Just a final cleanup before approval:

  • Please remove the temporary/local verification files (mcp_server/test_proxy_mock.py, mcp_server/test_route_mock.py, verify_final.py, verify_pr.py).
  • Reconcile the three backend test-harness changes with the stated PR scope: either document them explicitly as intentional scope or move them out.
  • Update the trust bundle to the current final SHA/evidence now that the fresh hosted MCP, Backend, Agent Gates and real-process run are green.

After that, trigger one final CodeRabbit review on the cleaned exact SHA.

Thanks Victor. One process point I need us to tighten going forward: before asking for final review, please reconcile the trust bundle against the exact current head so the SHA, hosted-run links, acceptance checkboxes, remaining risks, reviewer status, and actual diff all describe the same state.

Right now the code is good, but the evidence text still mixes old and current states (stale SHA/run links, fresh CI still described as pending, and conflicting review-status wording). Please do one final exact-head evidence pass and remove all stale statements before asking for review.

Going forward, treat that reconciliation as part of finishing the PR: no temporary files, no undocumented out-of-scope changes, no stale pending claims, and no evidence links from an earlier candidate.
