MCP failures now say what kind of problem they are, agents send send_maple_feedback reports themselves, and read-only keys no longer see write tools. Findings come from prod MCP self-traces and local agent transcripts (2026-10-07 to 11-07).

What changed

Permission errors stop looking like Maple bugs. toMcpHttpError used to turn every HTTP-domain error into McpQueryError with the internal tag in the text. On 11-04, preview_alert_rule/create_alert_rule returned "Query failed: @maple/http/errors/AlertForbiddenError: …" plus the "looks like a Maple bug" hint (6 calls, trace 0000000000000000008eecbe6b2943d8). It now maps by the error's public type:

  • 403 → McpAuthInvalidError(insufficient_scope), shown as "Permission denied: …"
  • 400/404/409 → invalid input
  • 402 → unavailable
  • 429 → not ready, with a delay
  • 5xx → query failure (Error span, cause kept); a retryable one says a retry may work

Model text uses the public message only. The tools that still put ${error._tag} in their messages (delete/acknowledge alert, SLOs, uptime, status pages, integration writes) no longer do.

Missing warehouse table. On 11-05, list_users failed with "Resource 'user_activity_hourly' not found" while a deploy was rolling out. Tinybird sends that as HTTP 403, so the classifier's auth rule matched on status first (error.type=WarehouseAuthError) and the MCP side reported a query failure. Fixed in two places:

  • packages/query-engine: a "Resource '…' not found" rule now runs ahead of the auth rule, so it is a WarehouseConfigError. This also lets the existing per-table fallbacks (isMissingUserActivityHourly, …) fire.
  • MCP reads: a missing table that Maple defines becomes McpNotReadyError ("not deployed for this org yet …"). Caller SQL (run_sql) keeps its own error, since a table it names may be a typo. Each case logs a warning, so a missing table that never clears (for example a misrouted token) stays visible.

Feedback adoption. No local transcript ever called send_maple_feedback. Agents read "offer the user to report it" literally and stopped there. Changes:

  • The hint, tool description and server instructions now let the agent send the report itself, unless the user's instructions say not to, then tell the user in one line. The "visible to the user's organization" disclosure and the no-user-data rules are kept.
  • kind is forgiving: case, spaces and hyphens, plus aliases (docs, bug_report, feature, enhancement, …). The registry gained a generic valueAliases spec field for this.
  • agent_type is optional (default other) and agent_name defaults to the client's own name.
  • A failed insert is retried twice before it returns not ready. If an insert commits but its acknowledgement is lost, the retry can save a duplicate report, which is harmless.

Dispatcher telemetry. Real failures (query, tenant) now set maple.mcp.error.message on McpToolDispatcher.call, as expected failures already did. tools/call spans carry maple.mcp.client.name.

Read-only keys. Write tools are hidden from tools/list for read-only credentials through an effect/ai McpServer.visibility gate on those tools. send_maple_feedback stays visible. The registry still refuses such calls, and both checks use one shared predicate (refusesReadOnlyCredential).

Unknown tools (registry). McpToolNotFoundError now names the closest tools ("Did you mean list_uptime_monitors? tools/list has every tool.") for chat, bot and workflow surfaces.

Already fixed on main, not changed here

  • tools/call spans already carry maple.mcp.error.category and a grouped error.message, checked on prod spans from the last day.
  • The 7 McpNotReadyError feedback failures on 10-25 were the closed Postgres scope bug, fixed separately.
  • There is no MCP session id to record: the stateless transport issues none, and the hub builds sessions from user.id.

Not done here (follow-up)

  • Unknown tool names on the public transport. All 11 prod calls (list_tools, --help, uptime_monitors, get_alert_incident, …) are rejected inside effect's McpServer as JSON-RPC InvalidParams before any Maple code runs. Only the transport (transport/stateless-http.ts, owned by the parallel transport PR) can rewrite that. The plan, agreed with that session: once both PRs merge, map that error to an isError tool result using unknownToolMessage from lib/tool-suggestions.ts.
  • Clients that load tools lazily may still not load send_maple_feedback before they need it. The server instructions name it so a client can search for it.
  • server.ts is in the transport session's area. I edited only the addTool block and one span attribute, with that session's agreement.

Verification

  • apps/ai MCP suites: 95 files, all passing, including registry.contract.test.ts. New tests:
    • app.test.ts: one isolate lists create_alert_rule for a full key and hides it from a read-only key, while inspect_trace and send_maple_feedback stay visible to both.
    • dispatcher: permission lead and category for a read-only write call; the span message on a real failure; the new hint; unknown-tool suggestions.
    • registry: feedback kind spellings and aliases decode; unmapped values are still rejected.
    • map-http-error, map-warehouse-error (toMcpReadError) and tool-suggestions, using the real prod names.
  • packages/query-engine errors.test.ts: 73 passing, including a 403 "Resource 'user_activity_hourly' not found" → WarehouseConfigError case.
  • Typecheck is clean for the changed files (ai, query-engine, backend). oxlint -c .oxlintrc.effect.json and plain oxlint are clean on the changed files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Tool calls now accept common alternate spellings for supported values, and unknown tool names can include relevant suggestions.
    • Read-only access now hides write tools while retaining feedback reporting.
  • Improvements

    • Error messages more clearly distinguish permission, input, and service availability issues, with retry guidance where applicable.
    • Missing data sources are reported as temporarily unavailable when appropriate.
    • Maple-related feedback can be submitted without prior confirmation unless the user’s instructions prohibit it; users are notified afterward, and reports are visible to their organization.

…s, agents send feedback

- Map HTTP-domain errors by public type: 403 reads as permission denied, 4xx as input
  to fix, 5xx as a real failure; internal error tags never reach the model.
- Tinybird's 403 "Resource 'x' not found" classifies as a missing table, not an auth
  failure; a missing Maple table on MCP reads reads as not ready.
- send_maple_feedback: agents send it themselves (org-visibility disclosure kept),
  forgiving kind/agent_type values, retry on a failed insert.
- maple.mcp.error.message on real dispatcher failures, client name on tools/call.
- Write tools are hidden from tools/list for read-only credentials.
- Unknown tool names suggest the closest tools in the registry.

Walkthrough

The changes update MCP tool visibility and input handling, add tool-name suggestions, revise error mappings, classify and handle missing warehouse tables, and change feedback submission instructions and retry behavior.

Changes: MCP behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Missing warehouse table handling
packages/query-engine/src/execution/errors.ts, packages/query-engine/src/execution/errors.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/warehouse/missing-table.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/map-warehouse-error.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/map-warehouse-error.test.ts
Missing-resource errors are classified as warehouse configuration errors. MCP read handlers map missing catalog tables to not-ready errors with retry guidance; other warehouse errors retain query-error mapping.
Tool access, input, and discovery
apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/types.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/server.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/registry.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/tool-suggestions.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/registry.test.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/tool-suggestions.test.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/app.test.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/dispatcher.test.ts
Read-only credentials hide or reject tools that require write access, except send_maple_feedback. Enum inputs accept normalized spellings and declared aliases. Unknown-tool responses suggest matching names or direct callers to tools/list.
MCP error mapping and diagnostics
apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/map-http-error.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/map-http-error.test.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/slos.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/acknowledge-alert-incident.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/delete-alert-rule.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/integration-writes.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/uptime-monitors.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/status-pages.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/dispatcher.ts
HTTP errors map to MCP error types by category, and several tool persistence errors use the shared mapper or omit error tags from messages. Dispatcher permission failures use permission wording; span error messages are limited to 500 characters.
Feedback submission and reporting
apps/ai/src/mcp/server-instructions.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/dispatcher.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/send-maple-feedback.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/server.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/dispatcher.test.ts
Feedback instructions direct agents to report qualifying Maple-related problems unless the user’s instructions prohibit it. Submission accepts aliases, defaults missing agent type and name values, retries persistence failures, and returns updated confirmation text. The server records the connected client name on the span when available.

Preview deploy failed on infrastructure, not on this change: Tinybird's branch cap was full (Max number of Branches allowed for Workspace). Nine open PRs carry preview:web right now. The orphan sweep is healthy, so the slots are held by those open PRs. I'll re-run deploy-pr-preview once a slot frees up, then post the preview test and traces.

Removed preview:web for now: the deploy's cap guard refuses at 10 labelled PRs, and this label was only taking up a slot. All other CI is green. I'll re-add it for the preview test once the sibling previews clear.

Fix the constant temporal dead zone risk: verify the order of MISSING_TABLE_RETRY_SECONDS and missingTableText.

toMcpReadError uses missingTableText and MISSING_TABLE_RETRY_SECONDS. Both are const declarations placed later in the module (Lines 88-90). This is safe only while no module-level code calls toMcpReadError during evaluation. The handlers (warehouseToMcpHandlers) are functions, so they run later. Still, move the two constants above toMcpReadError to remove the fragile ordering.

Bound the unknown tool name before scoring suggestions.

suggestToolNames computes editDistance(lower, candidate) for every catalog entry. editDistance costs O(name.length × candidate.length). The name value is client-supplied and has no length cap in this helper. A caller can send a very long tool name and spend worker CPU on every unknown-tool call, because the cost grows with name length times catalog size. Real tool names are short, so truncating the input loses no useful suggestions.

Use the public message for uptime persistence errors.

A database error can put internal details in UptimeMonitorPersistenceError.message. The dispatcher returns that message to the client and now records it on the span. Use the redacted public message instead.

Retry also wraps non-transient failures and replays a non-idempotent insert.

Effect.retry({ times: 2, ... }) applies to every error from service.submit. This includes AgentFeedbackPersistenceError and any other typed error in the channel. A deterministic failure, such as a constraint violation, produces the same result on all three attempts. The retry only adds latency.

The insert is also not idempotent (idempotent: false in hints). If the insert commits but the response is lost, the retry creates a duplicate feedback row.

Restrict the retry to the persistence error. If submit can take an idempotency key, pass one so a retry cannot duplicate the row.

Proposed fix

-					Effect.retry({ times: 2, schedule: Schedule.exponential("200 millis") }),
+					Effect.retry({
+						times: 2,
+						schedule: Schedule.exponential("200 millis"),
+						while: (error) =>
+							error._tag === "@maple/http/errors/AgentFeedbackPersistenceError",
+					}),

Based on learnings: retries should wrap only operations with transient failure modes where a repeated attempt could plausibly succeed.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

- 149:
The retry around `service.submit` currently applies to every error and may
replay a non-idempotent insert. Restrict retries to errors with a confirmed
transient failure mode, preserving the existing retry count and schedule;
establish whether `submit` supports an idempotency key and use one if available
to prevent duplicate feedback rows.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 10/10 · safe to merge. Every branch I traced holds; the only open note is F1's "nothing was recorded" text, still at send-maple-feedback.ts:154.
1 note · tests covered · risk medium · 3/3 new units observable

Reclassifies MCP failures by public HTTP type, makes a missing Maple table not-ready, hides write tools from read-only keys, and lets agents send feedback themselves. Safe to merge; the open registry McpQueryError issues are sandbox-clone and GitHub rate-limit messages, which this change leaves alone.

  • toMcpHttpError maps a 403 to McpAuthInvalidError(insufficient_scope), so a denial reads as permission, not a bug
  • A missing Maple table on a read becomes McpNotReadyError, and Resource '…' not found is classified ahead of the auth rule
  • Read-only API keys no longer see write tools in tools/list (McpServer.visibility)
  • send_maple_feedback accepts value aliases, defaults agent_type, and retries the insert twice

Still open from earlier reviews
