Motivation

  • A namespaced tool declaration was being expanded into both its bare inner name and a flattened namespace__name, which allowed an upstream provider to emit a bare top-level call that should have been unauthorized and bypass the undeclared-tool guard.

Description

  • Change addWireToolName in src/server/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.ts to store only the flattened namespaced coordinate when a namespace is present and otherwise store the bare name, preventing namespace members from authorizing a colliding top-level tool.
  • Update tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts expectations and add a regression test that proves a bare exec call is rejected when only safe::exec (namespaced) was declared.
  • Files modified: src/server/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.ts and tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts.

Testing

  • Ran the focused suite with ./node_modules/.bin/bun test tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts, which passed (26 tests, 0 failures).
  • Ran bun run typecheck and bun run privacy:scan, both of which succeeded.
  • Attempted the full bun run test run but it encountered unrelated environment-sensitive failures and timeouts in other tests; the focused tests covering the changed subsystem passed completely.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The tool guard now records namespaced tools only by their flattened identifiers. Tests verify that bare inner names are not authorized when declared under a namespace.

Changes

Tool declaration guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Namespaced registration and rejection coverage
src/server/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.ts, tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts
Namespaced tools now register only their flattened identifiers. Tests update the declared-tool set and verify that a bare namespaced tool call returns the undeclared-tool compatibility error.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to bbf62

The guard can still authorize a namespaced tool call from a bare declaration, allowing an undeclared tool invocation. This authorization bypass makes the PR not merge-ready until namespace-qualified lookup and regression coverage are corrected.

Do not authorize a namespaced call from a bare declaration.

This change stores safe::exec as safe__exec. However, undeclaredNameInItem checks declared.has(name) before it checks namespacedToolName(item.namespace, name). Therefore, a declaration for top-level exec authorizes { namespace: "safe", name: "exec" } even when safe__exec is not declared.

Use the namespace-qualified lookup whenever item.namespace is present. Use the bare lookup only when no namespace is present. Add a regression test for top-level exec declared with an undeclared safe::exec call.

Proposed guard fix
 function undeclaredNameInItem(item: unknown, declared: ReadonlySet<string>): string | undefined {
   if (!isPlainObject(item)) return undefined;
   if (typeof item.type !== "string" || !CLIENT_EXECUTED_CALL_TYPES.has(item.type)) return undefined;
   const name = item.name;
   if (typeof name !== "string" || name.length === 0) return undefined;
-  if (declared.has(name)) return undefined;
-  if (typeof item.namespace === "string" && declared.has(namespacedToolName(item.namespace, name))) {
-    return undefined;
+  if (typeof item.namespace === "string") {
+    return declared.has(namespacedToolName(item.namespace, name)) ? undefined : name;
   }
-  return name;
+  return declared.has(name) ? undefined : name;
 }
