Workstream PR Trust Bundle

Change

WS-MCP-002-12 - Task execution and submissions

Goal

Expand the independent MCP adapter from 90 to 108 fixed public tools for task execution, submission preparation, contributor work context, submissions, and manager reads.

Intent And Planning Context

What Changed

  • Added 18 fixed task, preparation, submission, and manager-read tools.
  • Captured 18 tamper-evident OpenAPI contract fragments from current main at f04313855.
  • Added bounded Base64 ZIP preparation upload and bounded assigned-guide document reads.
  • Added fixed route/status/header bindings, selector checks, safe errors, and exact 108-tool catalogue checks.
  • Updated package contents, MCP CI, README, roadmap, and Commitrail status.

Design Chosen

The adapter forwards each caller bearer unchanged and performs no local authorization. Caller-supplied mutation keys are forwarded once; Workstream owns replay and lifecycle state. Claim never starts a task. Preparation bytes are decoded once and forwarded as a bounded application/zip body. Malformed reads fail closed and unverifiable mutation success is reported as uncertain.

Alternatives Rejected

  • A generic HTTP tool, because it would expose arbitrary routing.
  • Generated idempotency keys or automatic retries, because replay belongs to Workstream and mutation outcomes can be uncertain.
  • Local authorization or task state, because Workstream is authoritative.

Scope Control

Allowed Files Changed

  • mcp_server/
  • .github/workflows/mcp.yml
  • WS-MCP-002 Commitrail/index and docs/roadmap_status.md

Files Outside Stated Scope

  • None

Product Behavior

  • Product behavior changed: the MCP catalogue now exposes 108 tools, including the 18 WS-MCP-002-12 bindings.

Result Summary

Ruff: passed
Strict mypy: passed
MCP tests: 816 passed, 4 environment-gated skips, 92% coverage
Current OpenAPI contract proof: 20 passed
Wheel build and clean Python 3.12 package-independence proof: passed
Commitrail, Markdown, stale-doc/contract, and whitespace checks: passed

Acceptance Criteria Proof

  • Exactly 108 unique tools and zero resources/prompts.
  • All 18 new method/path/status contracts match current backend OpenAPI.
  • Caller bearer and typed mutation keys are forwarded unchanged.
  • Claim does not call start; no mutation retries automatically.
  • Binary bodies are bounded and never logged.
  • Invalid inputs and substituted responses fail closed.

Test Delta

Tests Added

  • Task execution catalogue, dispatch, header, binary, failure, and selector tests.
  • Tamper-evident current-OpenAPI drift tests for all 18 operations.

Tests Modified

  • Exact full catalogue and checker slice assertions for the appended tools.

Tests Removed Or Skipped

  • None. Four existing tests remain environment-gated locally.

Impact-Routed Reviewer Results

Reviewed code SHA: 0e8c01a95c83af58a6633394bcf9a540794ddd90

Reviewer Result Blocking findings Proof boundary and uncertainty
Security/authorization PASS None Fixed routes, unchanged bearer forwarding, bounded headers/bytes, no local authority or replay state
Architecture/reuse PASS None Reuses existing gateway, contract, binary-read, schema, and tool patterns
QA/test delta PASS None 814 local tests plus exact current-OpenAPI proof; hosted PostgreSQL and container checks remain CI evidence
CI/docs PASS None CI assertions were extended, not weakened; docs and durable records are reconciled

External Review

CodeRabbit findings and GitHub checks will be handled on the exact PR head. Human approval and merge remain maintainer-owned.

CI And Gate Integrity

  • No workflow weakening.
  • No lint/test/docstring gate weakening.
  • Tests protect meaningful behavior; no tests were removed.
  • No package script weakening.
  • No unpinned new GitHub Action.
  • Checkout credential persistence remains disabled.

Remaining Risks

  • Hosted PostgreSQL parity, container execution, and deployed proxy behavior remain CI/deployment proof.
  • WS-MCP-002-13 still owns the final 20 task-operation/import tools.

Follow-Up Work

  • WS-MCP-002-13: task operations and imports, bringing the product catalogue to 128.
  • Assembled release proof after the complete catalogue is merged.

Human Review Focus

Please inspect fixed route/header/status mapping, preparation ZIP bounds, claim/start separation, submission-admission binding, uncertain execution behavior, and token privacy.

@Abiorh please review when convenient.

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

    • Expanded the MCP tool catalogue from 90 to 108 tools with task details and guidance, task lifecycle actions, submission requirements and history, and management views.
    • Added submission-bundle preparation and admission-backed submission workflows, including preparation status and results.
    • Added support for guide-document downloads and submission bundles up to 64 MiB.
    • Mutation outcomes that cannot be verified are reported as uncertain rather than automatically retried.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the adapter guide and roadmap to reflect the expanded tool catalogue and workflows.

Walkthrough

The MCP adapter adds 18 task-execution and submission tools. It defines their input and output contracts, routes calls to fixed Workstream API operations, validates responses, and updates catalogue checks, packaging, and documentation.

Changes: Task execution and submissions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Task, lifecycle, and context contracts
mcp_server/contracts/task_get.json, task_work_context_get.json, management_task_work_context_get.json, task_guide_document_content_get.json, task_submission_requirements_get.json, task_claim.json, task_release.json, task_screen.json, task_start.json
Contracts define authenticated task and context reads, lifecycle actions, guide-document retrieval, and submission requirements, with request parameters, response schemas, and documented errors.
Preparation and submission contracts
mcp_server/contracts/preparation_*.json, submission_*.json, task_submissions_list.json
Contracts define bounded bundle preparation, preparation history, admission-backed submission creation, and contributor submission history.
Management context and submission contracts
mcp_server/contracts/management_*.json
Contracts define management work context, task submission requirements, and submission history with evidence descriptors and finding counts.
Tool schemas and invocation
mcp_server/workstream_mcp/limits.py, schemas.py, tools/task_execution.py, server.py, mcp_server/tests/test_task_execution.py, test_catalogue.py, test_checker_artifacts.py
The adapter constrains task and submission inputs, decodes bounded preparation uploads, defines tool metadata, and registers the tools. Tests cover schemas, dispatch, uploads, and failure responses.
Fixed gateway routes and response binding
mcp_server/workstream_mcp/http_gateway.py
The gateway maps tools to fixed API routes, forwards caller headers and ZIP bytes, validates response schemas and identifiers, and reports mismatched mutation responses as uncertain.
Contract checks, packaging, and documentation
mcp_server/tests/test_task_execution_contract_drift.py, .github/workflows/mcp.yml, mcp_server/pyproject.toml, mcp_server/README.md, .commitrail/INDEX.md, .commitrail/initiatives/WS-MCP-002/*, docs/roadmap_status.md
CI checks the contracts and 108-tool catalogue. Package metadata includes the added contracts. Documentation and initiative records update the catalogue count, tool scope, transfer limits, and remaining work.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 06de7

A summary or attestation ending in a newline passes validation but then fails during upload. The caller is told the outcome is uncertain, although nothing was sent. This affects a narrow input case and is easy to fix. The rest of the 18-tool change shows no concrete merge-blocking problem.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(mcp): add task execution and submission tools" matches the main change. The PR adds 18 task-execution, preparation, contributor work-context, submission, and manager-read tools to the MCP adapter, which brings the catalogue from 90 to 108 tools. The title is specific and follows a conventional commit style. It omits the 108-tool count and the bounded ZIP upload detail, which is acceptable because it need not cover every detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The PR description follows the required Workstream PR Trust Bundle template and is substantially complete. It states the change (WS-MCP-002-12), goal (expand the MCP adapter from 90 to 108 tools), linked Commitrail and initiative records, what changed, design choices, rejected alternatives, scope control (allowed files and no files outside scope), product behavior, commands run, result summary, acceptance criteria proof, test delta, reviewer results with reviewed SHA, CI and gate integrity checklist, remaining risks, follow-up work, and human review focus. Minor gaps: the Reviewed at timestamp and Reviewer run IDs fields are absent, the External Review section is brief, and the Commands Run block does not include the exact test invocation output for the wheel and package checks beyond what is listed. The Remaining Risks and Follow-Up Work sections are populated. Some of the description's claims (814 vs 816 test count) differ from the result summary (816 passed), which should be reconciled. The description also lists 'Allowed Files Changed' as including the Commitrail index and roadmap, which is consistent with the file summaries.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 12.82% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 39 functions across 9 files. (25 skipped: 25 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
