Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe MCP server now exposes duplicate-code detection and function-source retrieval. It adds shared schemas and defaults, registers both tools independently of semantic search, reuses them in the RAG agent, locks graph reads, and adds parity tests and documentation. ChangesMCP duplicate and source tools
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds two directly callable read-only repository tools and aligns their schemas and defaults across interfaces. A read path can still bypass the graph-read lock, allowing reads to overlap with rebuilds; this bounded correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

@greptileai review |
Greptile SummaryThe duplicate-code MCP handler now holds the shared graph lock while it gathers its multi-query report, so an index or update cannot produce a result assembled from different graph generations. The earlier duplicate-report consistency issue is resolved: an executed lock-state probe observed the lock held for the current handler and confirmed that removing only that lock triggers the named guard failure. Confidence Score: 5/5No blocking failure remains; the duplicate-code read is serialized with graph rebuild operations. No accepted blocking findings remain.

Both now wrap their tool invocation in TestsThree, in async def _probe(**_kwargs: object) -> str:
held.append(mcp_registry._ingestor_lock.locked())
return "no duplicates"That distinction is the point. Asserting the handler completes, or that the lock exists, is satisfied by the unlocked implementation too -- the property that prevents interleaving is that the lock is held during the read, and nothing weaker discriminates. Red first: 2 failed / 1 passed, both failures on their own assertion. Green after: 21 passed. The third test pins release, so holding the lock cannot leak past the handler and deadlock every later index/update. Worth noting there were no tests pinning On the "other six read handlers"Filed as #1471, with a correction to the count. Enumerating every The others that look unlocked ( Two of the four also need a judgement call rather than a mechanical wrap, which is why they are a separate issue rather than this PR:
Scoping those into this PR would have meant deciding both silently while fixing something else. |

`list_projects`, `semantic_search`, `query_code_graph` and `get_code_snippet` read the graph without taking the lock that `index` and `update` hold while they DELETE AND REBUILD it. An interleaved read can observe one generation for part of its work and another for the rest, returning a result that never existed as a coherent graph state -- a wrong answer rather than an error, which nothing downstream can detect. `flow_verdict` already states the rule in its own comment; this brings the remaining readers into line. The test is STRUCTURAL over the AST rather than one behavioural test per handler, and that is the point rather than a compromise. A per-handler test guards the handlers that exist today; this guards the RULE, so the next graph reader added without the lock fails here instead of shipping. vitali87#1443 fixed two handlers with no test at all, and four more were still unlocked -- which is what a per-instance fix leaves behind. A control asserts every name in the list is a real handler, so a rename cannot silently empty the guard. A third test pins the writers, since a reader's lock is decorative if a writer ever loses its own. Checked for reentrancy before committing: asyncio.Lock is not reentrant, and none of the four has an internal caller or a nested acquisition, so there is no deadlock path. 187 MCP tests pass. One correction to the issue: it states find_duplicate_code and get_function_source "were brought into line in vitali87#1443", but that PR is still OPEN and neither exists as a handler on main. They are deliberately excluded from the list -- the control is what will flag them when vitali87#1443 merges.

Fixes #1342
The issue body was empty, so the gap was measured rather than assumed. Comparing the two tool surfaces (normalising three renames:
query_graph/query_code_graph,replace_code/surgical_replace_code,create_file/write_file), five CLI tools had no MCP equivalent. Only two of those absences are accidental.find_duplicate_codeget_function_sourceask_agent's toolset, never directly callableweb_searchresearchexecute_shellWhy the other three stay out
web_searchandresearchare absent by design. Issue #1128 keeps external web content out of any context that also holds repository reads, and the CLI enforces that with aReadContentRecordegress gate. The MCP layer has noReadContentRecordat all, which is consistent precisely because it exposes no web-reaching tool for one to guard. Exposing either here would reopen that boundary with nothing watching it. A test now fails if anyone does.execute_shellover MCP is a security decision that belongs to the maintainer, not something to close quietly while fixing an unrelated gap.What changed
find_duplicate_codeandget_function_sourceare registered unconditionally.get_function_sourcelives insemantic_search.pybut touches none of the embedding machinery, so gating it on the semantic extra would hide a graph-only tool behind a dependency it never uses. Verified by blocking the semantic libraries at import time and confirming the import still succeeds.Both tools are now built once in the constructor and shared with the
ask_agentorchestrator rather than reconstructed inside it. A second copy would give the orchestrator its own roots cache and let the two routes disagree about a project indexed mid-session. This also closes a smaller gap in passing:ask_agentnever hadfind_duplicate_codeeither.DUPLICATES_DEFAULT_GROUP_LIMITreplaces a barelimit=20literal. Parity means the same call gives the same answer on both surfaces, which two literals agreeing today would not guarantee tomorrow.MCPSchemaType.NUMBERis new: JSON Schema spells a floatnumber, and typing the 0-1 similarity threshold asintegerwould have had clients reject0.8before the call was made.MCPInputSchemaProperty.defaultandMCPToolArgumentswidened to admitfloatfor the same reason (booladded for documentation, being already a subtype ofint, whichstructural_replace'sdry_rundefault has quietly relied on).Tests
18 new tests in
test_mcp_parity.py, covering advertisement, schema shape, dispatch routing, argument forwarding, default parity with the CLI, and the three deliberate absences.Each new assertion was mutation-verified rather than assumed to constrain behaviour:
min_size=15instead of forwardingtest_handler_forwards_every_argumentnode_idasstringtest_node_id_is_typed_as_an_integerget_function_sourcefrom the orchestratortest_ask_agent_still_offers_function_sourceweb_searchover MCPtest_web_reaching_tools_stay_off_mcpEach died to exactly the intended test with no collateral failures. The fourth matters most: an
is Noneassertion passes trivially if the lookup is broken, so the #1128 boundary pin was checked to be live rather than vacuous.Beyond mocked handlers, both tools were exercised end to end through the real dispatcher: 20 MCP tools advertised (up from 18), both routing correctly and returning sensible messages on the empty-graph path rather than raising.
test_rag_agent_includes_function_source_toolneeded updating. It patched the lazy factory inside therag_agentproperty, and construction moved to__init__, so the patch no longer intercepted a call that had already happened. Rewritten to assert identity againstregistry._function_source_tool, and mutation-checked that the rewrite still fails when the tool is dropped, so it is not a weakened stand-in for what it replaced.The MCP tool table in
docs/guide/mcp-server.mdis generated fromMCP_TOOLSand picked both up automatically.Summary by CodeRabbit
