Overview ¶
Package toolvalidation provides source-level (AST) validators for MCP tool registrations. It is intended to be consumed from _test.go files in any package that registers mcp.Tool literals (including downstream repositories such as github-mcp-server-remote) so the same guardrails apply everywhere without duplicating the parsing logic.
Index ¶
Constants ¶
const MCPImportPath = "github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp"
MCPImportPath is the canonical module path of the MCP go-sdk. Source files that import this path under any alias (including the default `mcp`) are candidates for tool-literal validation.

Functions ¶
func FormatReadOnlyHintViolations ¶
func FormatReadOnlyHintViolations(violations []ReadOnlyHintViolation) string
FormatReadOnlyHintViolations renders a single multi-line error message suitable for passing to t.Fatal. Returns "" when violations is empty.
Types ¶
type ReadOnlyHintViolation ¶
type ReadOnlyHintViolation struct {
// File is the path to the offending source file, made relative to the
// scan directory when possible.
File string
// Line is the 1-indexed line number of the offending literal.
Line int
// ToolName is the value of the Name field on the mcp.Tool literal, or
// "<unknown>" when it cannot be statically extracted.
ToolName string
// Reason is a human-readable explanation of why the literal failed.
Reason string
}
ReadOnlyHintViolation describes a single mcp.Tool composite literal that failed the ReadOnlyHint check.
func ScanReadOnlyHint ¶
func ScanReadOnlyHint(dir string) ([]ReadOnlyHintViolation, error)
ScanReadOnlyHint parses every non-test .go file in dir (a single package directory) and returns a violation for each mcp.Tool composite literal that does not explicitly set Annotations.ReadOnlyHint.
The Go runtime cannot distinguish an unset bool field from one explicitly set to false, so this AST-level check exists to prevent future tool registrations from silently defaulting ReadOnlyHint to false — which has triggered downstream agents to prompt for human approval on safe read operations.
Callers typically invoke this from a _test.go file:
dir, _ := os.Getwd() violations, err := toolvalidation.ScanReadOnlyHint(dir)
func (ReadOnlyHintViolation) String ¶
func (v ReadOnlyHintViolation) String() string
String renders a violation in the format used by FormatReadOnlyHintViolations: "<file>:<line> tool=<name>: <reason>".
