fix(mcp): honor TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT on the client path#4466IdoGol24 wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
The package documents TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT as the switch that turns off content logging, but only the FastMCP server-side wrapper consulted it. The MCP client path recorded content regardless: tools/call arguments and results via _extract_clean_input/_extract_clean_output, whole request and response bodies via serialize() in _handle_mcp_method and _execute_and_handle_result, and the response value in InstrumentedStreamWriter.send. An operator who set the variable to false still got request and response payloads on their spans. Move should_send_prompts() into utils so one gate serves both wrappers, and apply it to every content-bearing attribute on the client path. Span names, entity names, span kind, request ids and error status are unaffected; only content is withheld. Tests drive the real client against a FastMCP server and assert a marker value is absent from every span attribute when the switch is off and still present when it is on, so neither the gate nor the capture can regress unnoticed.
