WalkthroughThe MCP JSON Schema validator now uses a bounded content-keyed LRU cache for compiled Ajv validators. It bypasses caching for unsupported schema keys, preserves dialect-specific compilation, and adds reuse and eviction tests. ChangesMCP validator cache
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The validator cache bounds retained compiled schemas, but its 64 KiB check counts UTF-16 units instead of UTF-8 bytes, so large non-ASCII schemas can remain cached beyond the intended limit and retain more memory than expected. This is a bounded, localized risk that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

96-113: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winTest cache-hit recency refresh.
This test proves eviction after insertion pressure. It still passes if cache hits do not refresh insertion order and the cache becomes FIFO. Fill the cache with
firstSchemaand known entries, compilefirstSchemaagain, insert one more entry, then confirm thatfirstSchemaremains cached while the stale entry is recompiled.Proposed test shape

Summary
Finding
Three module-scoped Ajv instances compiled every enabled external MCP tool schema on every chat turn. Cached tool definitions are deserialized from Redis, so unchanged schemas arrive as fresh object identities. Ajv always records each compiled object in its private _cache; addUsedSchema: false only prevents registration by schema ID and does not disable that object cache.
With Ajv 8.18, compiling 10,000 freshly parsed copies of the same small schema left 10,008 cache entries and retained 37.9 MB of V8 heap after forced GC (about 3.79 KiB per compile); RSS grew by 220 MB. This affects Ask/chat traffic for installations with external MCP tools, rather than the dominant anonymous browse traffic in the current production incident.
Remediation
Validators are keyed by serialized schema content and retained in a 100-entry LRU, so freshly parsed copies reuse one validator. Cache keys larger than 64 KiB are not retained. Each miss uses a short-lived Ajv instance, which also guarantees that unique or oversized schemas cannot accumulate in an Ajv process-lifetime object cache. Dialect selection, local references, duplicate root IDs, synchronous validation, and error formatting are preserved.
The original 10,000-compile forced-GC probe retained 37.9 MB. Against this branch, the same probe changed heap by -49,848 bytes after GC.
