📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughMCP tool discovery now uses protocol version 2 with structured failure metadata and command status. The bridge supports denied-tool updates and policy drift reporting. Managed images, workflows, documentation, and end-to-end tests enforce the updated contracts. ChangesMCP tool-discovery protocol
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to MCP discovery E2E diagnostics can fail unclearly for incomplete status payloads, and generated verification artifacts can expose host-identifying command output. These issues should be corrected before merge to preserve reliable diagnostics and avoid unnecessary environment-information disclosure. Possibly related PRs

In @.github/workflows/managed-images.yaml:
- Around line 356-360: Update all listed MCP discovery result contracts to
validate scalar fields count and truncated plus tools as an empty array, without
using shallow object comparison for arrays: apply this in
.github/workflows/managed-images.yaml lines 356-360 and 748-752, Dockerfile line
1904, agents/hermes/Dockerfile line 537, and
agents/langchain-deepagents-code/Dockerfile line 137. Update
test/support/managed-bootstrap-image-contract.ts lines 37 and 263-267 to include
and assert these fields during permission replay, reusing the existing discovery
contract symbols.
In `@docs/manage-sandboxes/manage-mcp-servers.mdx`:
- Line 77: Update the commandStatus documentation to distinguish precondition
sources: runtime-emitted precondition results must specify commandStatus as 0,
while bridge-level preconditions that skip runtime execution must specify
commandStatus as null.
In `@docs/reference/commands.mdx`:
- Around line 2303-2305: Update the toolDiscovery documentation to distinguish
executed precondition failures from skipped bridge-level preconditions: invalid
arguments and unavailable credential placeholders may report commandStatus 0,
while preconditions that prevent execution report null. Preserve the existing
explanation for unreachable sandboxes and other cases without a runtime exit
status.
In `@test/inference/managed/managed-image-publication-workflow.test.ts`:
- Line 624: Update the invalid-runtime-arguments fixture in the managed image
publication workflow test to keep the extra property while assigning it a valid
JSON value instead of NaN. Preserve the expected preflight failure and ensure
the case exercises rejection of unknown fields rather than JSON parsing failure.
In
`@tools/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime/reviewed-runtime-bundle/mcp-tool-discovery/mcp-tool-discovery.bundle`:
- Line 77: Update safeToolDiscoveryErrorDetail and its call from
runMcpToolDiscoverySession so failure details reflect failedStage, especially
initialization or authentication failures from session.connect(), rather than
always saying tool discovery. Pass the stage into the formatter or use wording
that remains accurate for every stage while preserving existing error
classification.

Outcome
nemoclaw <sandbox> mcp status <server> --toolsnow exits nonzero when live MCP initialization or tool discovery is unsuccessful, while preserving ordinary status and bounded failure context. Successful discovery remains exit zero.Reason
#10944 requires connection and authentication failures to be verification failures. Previously, a discovery runtime could exit zero with
ok: falseand the NemoClaw command would still report success.Related issues
Refs #10944
Part of #10942
Changes
--toolsstatus consumer needs this distinction because the existing Boolean result could not separate runtime, connection, authentication, protocol, and tool-operation failures; focused host/runtime tests protect the contract.mcp status <server> --toolsverification fail the NemoClaw process on an unsuccessful result. Ordinary MCP status and list behavior remain unchanged, and the owning documentation describes the exit and recovery contract.finally; no new target, workflow, or retry behavior is added.commandStatusvalues, and uses stage-neutral redacted request details, and refreshes the owning Dockerfile instruction digest.Verification
