📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change centralizes effective tool availability. Prompt sections, native tool filtering, runtime validation, task prompt generation, and webview previews now use the same policy. Tests cover modes, aliases, disabled tools, model customization, feature gates, MCP availability, protocol tools, and preview parity. ChangesEffective tool policy consistency
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change aligns tool guidance with tool availability, but settings changes during prompt generation or lazily loaded model metadata can still cause prompts or previews to advertise tools that are unavailable at execution time. Resolve the state-snapshot and metadata-loading inconsistencies before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Full details: Out of Scope Changes checkExplanation Most changes support the stated objectives, including policy refactoring, tests, snapshot updates, dead-export cleanup, and prompt deduplication. The added JSDoc for getToolName is unrelated to these objectives and may be out of scope. Full details: Docstring CoverageExplanation Docstring coverage is 78.26% which is insufficient.

In `@scripts/stryker-diff.mjs`:
- Line 325: Update win32ShellQuote and its command-invocation paths so literal
percent signs in operands, including %TEMP%, are not expanded by cmd.exe while
preserving existing quoting behavior. Add Windows regression coverage for
literal %TEMP% operands in both affected paths.
In `@src/core/prompts/__tests__/sections.spec.ts`:
- Around line 347-350: Rename the test containing getRulesSection and the RULES
assertion to describe only the baseline RULES behavior; remove the misleading
isStealthModel and vendor-confidentiality wording from its test name while
leaving the assertion and implementation unchanged.
In `@src/core/prompts/sections/objective.ts`:
- Line 26: Update the objective prompt wording to replace the broad “extensive
capabilities” and “wide range of tools” claim with policy-neutral wording
referring only to the provided tools, while preserving the surrounding tool-use
guidance. Add a zero-clause policy assertion in the objective prompt tests to
verify the revised wording under a policy with no tool clauses.
In `@src/core/prompts/tools/effective-tool-policy.ts`:
- Around line 290-303: Compute the MCP resource availability once before the
`allowedToolNames` check, store the result, and reuse it for `hasMcpResources`
and related MCP-tool resolution instead of calling `hasAnyMcpResources` or
repeatedly querying `mcpHub.getServers()`. Update the surrounding logic in the
effective policy flow while preserving its existing behavior.
In `@src/core/task/__tests__/build-tools.spec.ts`:
- Line 102: Add positive expectations to both relevant tests around
allowedFunctionNames, including the assertions near execute_command and the
other referenced case, verifying the expected allowed tool name is present while
retaining the negative assertions. This must ensure the list is non-empty and
correctly populated rather than only confirming excluded names are absent.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value
Compute the MCP resource check once.
hasAnyMcpResources(mcpHub, effectiveAllowedMcpServers) runs at Line 290 and again at Line 302 with identical arguments, and resolveHasMcpTools calls mcpHub.getServers() a third time. McpHub.getServers() filters and deduplicates every connection on each call (src/services/mcp/McpHub.ts:464-482). Resolve the value once and reuse it.

- Around line 300-301: The no-permitted-MCP-resources branch in getToolsForMode
currently removes only access_mcp_resource; also remove use_mcp_tool when
hasMcpTools is false, including when mcpHub is undefined or
effectiveAllowedMcpServers is empty. Add tests covering both cases and verify
policy.tools contains neither MCP group tool.

The delegation flow disposes the original parent with

Closes: #1240, #505
Description
Two system-prompt bugs fixed in one branch. All changes are backend-only (
src/core/).#1240 - system prompt advertises tools the model cannot call. The prompt sections were mostly static text with a separate source of truth from the API tool-filtering path, so e.g. Architect/Ask/Orchestrator still got
execute_commandguidance, and MCP guidance could appear when no MCP tool was effectively available.How it's fixed:
src/core/prompts/tools/effective-tool-policy.tscomputes the effective logical tool set per request (mode groups -> permission checks -> model include/exclude -> feature flags ->disabledTools-> MCP availability -> protocol guarantee).filterNativeToolsForMode(the API tool-definition path) consume the same policy, so the generated prompt and the sent tool definitions always agree.attempt_completionis re-added to the logical set after all filtering, and listing it indisabledToolslogs a one-timeconsole.warn. Why it was added is argued in the note below.src/core/task/Task.tsandsrc/core/webview/generateSystemPrompt.tsnow pass the samedisabledTools/modelInfoinputs into prompt generation, so the webview preview matches the runtime prompt.src/core/prompts/tools/filter-tools-for-mode.tsand replaces the per-request MCP existence check with a cheap predicate - both behavior-neutral.#505 - duplicated ~100-word paragraph with hardcoded
/test/path. The same file-tree paragraph appeared in both CAPABILITIES and SYSTEM INFORMATION, and the SYSTEM INFORMATION copy contained a hardcoded/test/pathliteral instead of the real cwd. The paragraph now appears once, cwd-independent, insrc/core/prompts/sections/system-info.ts- kept in SYSTEM INFORMATION rather than moved to CAPABILITIES as the issue suggested, since that is the structural-info home, and thelist_filesguidance sentence lives insrc/core/prompts/sections/capabilities.tswhere it belongs.Notable:
.snapfiles are the expected, deliberate effect of [BUG] System prompt advertises tools that are unavailable in the active mode #1240. The old Architect/Ask snapshots approved the inconsistent output. Restricted-mode prompt text intentionally changes; for modes with the full tool set the text is unchanged.attempt_completion- there is no plain-text completion fallback in the task state machine. IfdisabledToolsor model exclusions removed the tool, the prompt would require a tool that is never sent (exactly the class of bug [BUG] System prompt advertises tools that are unavailable in the active mode #1240 fixes) and the task could never be completed cleanly. The resolver therefore re-adds it to the logical set after all filtering, and runtime validation is aligned so it can never be marked un-callable; disabling it viadisabledToolsis an explicit, one-time-warned no-op rather than a silent one. Supporting actual removal was probably never intended.filter-tools-for-mode.tsis also beyond a pure bug fix. The file was rewritten by this PR to consume the shared policy, and the deleted functions had zero consumers repo-wide (verified by grep) - keeping them would leave a dead API on a file whose purpose in this PR is tool-policy unification.filter-tools-for-mode.ts:no-explicit-any3 -> 1 insrc/eslint-suppressions.json).Test Procedure
cd src && npx vitest run core/prompts core/assistant-message- all green; the working tree stays clean after the run (no snapshot changes).execute_commandor advertises tools the mode lacks.disabledTools: ["execute_command"]: command-execution guidance disappears from the prompt.attempt_completionindisabledToolslogs the one-time warning and the tool remains available.Pre-Submission Checklist
