fix: surface errors as tool errors and stop vacuous passes - #33
Conversation
Input, path, and config problems were raised as plain ValueError (or escaped from commit-check as TOMLDecodeError/ValueError), which the mcp 2.x tool manager reports to the client only as the generic "Error executing tool <name>". Every such failure now raises ToolError with the same message, and config merging / RuleBuilder construction report a malformed or rejected config as "invalid commit-check config: <detail>", so an agent can read what to correct. validate_repository_state validated an empty string instead of HEAD's message, so the message rules always passed. The message helper now accepts None and repository-state passes None, which makes commit-check read the latest commit (git log -1) as the CLI does; the author path already worked that way. A repo_path that is a plain directory silently produced a pass because commit-check's git reads come back empty. Tools that consult git (branch, author, or push_refs omitted; validate_repository_state) now require `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` to succeed in that directory and raise "repo_path is not a git repository: <path>" otherwise. Tools that validate a supplied value still work with a non-git directory that only holds a config file. A blank push_refs (e.g. " ") stripped to "" and passed with no ref and no upstream fallback. It is now rejected with "push_refs cannot be empty when provided", consistent with how the other tools treat blank strings.

to qualify that they occur only when the tool must read Git-backed values;
preserve plain directories as valid when all required Git-backed values are
supplied, matching the rule near the documented Git-state behavior.

The error applies only when the tool has to read git state; a plain directory holding a config file is still fine when every value is supplied, as the Tool Usage note already says.

What
Four fixes from the cross-repository review, all in
server.py, each with a regression test.ValueError(or escaped from commit-check asTOMLDecodeError), which the mcp 2.x tool manager reports only asError executing tool <name>. They now raiseToolErrorwith the same message, and a malformed or rejected config is reported asinvalid commit-check config: <detail>. Tested throughmcp.call_toolso the text the client sees is what is asserted.validate_repository_statevalidates HEAD's message. It passed""to the message helper, so the message rules always passed. It now passesNone, which makes commit-check read the latest commit as the CLI does. Tested with a realgit initrepository.repo_pathis rejected where the tool has to read git state (branch, author or push refs omitted, or repository state). Tools given every value still work on a plain directory holding a config file.push_refsis an error instead of a vacuous pass, consistent with how the other tools treat blank strings.Behaviour changes
validate_repository_statecan now fail on a bad HEAD message.repo_pathis omitted) is an error for the git-consulting calls.README updated for all three. 87 tests pass.
