No issue. The problem is described below.

Problem

POST /sessions/{id}/profile accepts agent_config.tools and agent_config.mcp_servers, and then drops both. The values never reached ToolManager, so a client could set a tool selection, read it back as accepted, and see no change in agent behaviour. GET /sessions/{id} also never returned the two fields.

What changed

  • The selection persists to session metadata and is applied to the running agent through ToolManager.patchActiveTools.
  • The two fields merge independently. A patch that supplies only mcp_servers keeps the current builtin tool selection instead of clearing it. An empty array still clears its own half.
  • SessionService.update resumes an inactive session before the mutation, so a profile update no longer fails on a closed session.
  • The selection is applied in one setActiveTools call, so the replay record stays complete.
  • MCP server names go through the new mcpServerToolPattern helper, which sanitizes the name the same way qualified tool names are built. A server named My Search now matches its own tools.
  • GET /sessions/{id} returns agent_config.tools and agent_config.mcp_servers.

Verified locally: 3602 agent-core tests, 512 server tests, both typechecks, and lint all pass. Every new test was mutation-checked — the merge, the partial application, the resume call, and the pattern sanitizing were each broken in turn to confirm the covering test goes red.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Agent configurations now support selecting built-in tools and MCP server tools.
    • Tool and MCP selections are saved with sessions and restored when sessions resume.
    • Session updates can modify either selection independently, clear selections, or update both together.
    • Active agents automatically apply updated tool settings.
    • MCP server tool matching remains reliable for sanitized or shortened server names.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Closing and reopening a session now preserves its configured tools and MCP servers.

`agent_config.tools` and `agent_config.mcp_servers` were accepted by the
profile route and then dropped. They now persist to session metadata and
reach `ToolManager`.

The two fields merge independently, so a patch that supplies only MCP
servers keeps the current builtin tool selection instead of stripping it.
An empty array still clears its own half. `SessionService.update` resumes
an inactive session first, and the selection is applied in one
`setActiveTools` call so the replay record stays complete.

MCP server names go through `mcpServerToolPattern`, which sanitizes the
name the same way qualified tool names are built, so a server called
`My Search` matches its own tools.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change persists tool and MCP server selections in session metadata. Session updates merge partial capability changes, resume inactive sessions, and synchronize active tools. Session conversion and resume logic restore the persisted selections.

Metadata updates merge partial fields, resume the main agent, and patch active tools. Tests cover session resumption and inactive-session profile updates.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b1133

This change applies selected tools and MCP servers to the running agent, but MCP server-name sanitization can still cause tools from an unselected connected server to be enabled, creating a bounded tool-isolation risk that should receive owner follow-up before merge.

826-836: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Replace the double type assertions with typed test boundaries.

Lines 829 and 836 use as unknown as Agent and as unknown as Session to bypass type checks. Extract narrow interfaces for the dependencies used by ToolManager and SessionAPIImpl, then construct structural test doubles against those interfaces.

As per coding guidelines, packages/**/*.ts requires reviewers to flag type assertions added to silence errors.

Do not use a lossy glob as the MCP server identity.

mcpServerToolPattern matches distinct server names that sanitize to the same value, such as foo/bar and foo?bar. It also matches long server names that share the first 49 sanitized characters. ToolManager.isMcpToolEnabled only checks the qualified tool name, so selecting one server can expose tools from another connected server.

Keep selected MCP server names as identities and compare them with McpToolEntry.serverName. Alternatively, reject ambiguous server names before persistence. Add negative tests for sanitized-name and truncated-prefix collisions.

`@pymodel/agent-core` and `@pymodel/server` are both in the changeset
ignore list, so a changeset naming only those produces an empty version
diff and the release PR opens with no commits. Bump the app package
instead, matching every other changeset that touches these packages.
