WHY THIS MATTERS The previous commit classified tools as "requires confirmation" but gave the user no way to confirm: gated tools were force-disabled on refresh, their toggle was locked, and discovery/execution filtered them out. "Confirmation required" in practice meant "permanently unavailable" — which pushes users toward connectors with permissive (and unverifiable) annotations, the opposite of the intended safety posture. WHAT A REAL APPROVAL FLOW REQUIRES An approval must be bound to exactly what will run, for exactly one run, for a bounded time, decided by the right person. Anything looser decays into a confirm-anything button: - bound to the payload: approve THIS tool with THESE arguments, not "the next thing the model wants"; - single-use: an approval spends itself; it cannot authorize a replay; - short-lived: a stale prompt found hours later must be inert; - bound to the user: only the chat's owner can decide. HOW IT WORKS 1. New user_mcp_pending_tool_calls table (RLS, service-role only). When the model proposes a gated call, the EXACT tool + arguments are stored as a pending row (TTL 2 min) and streamed to the chat UI as an mcp_confirmation_required event showing the stored payload. 2. The user clicks Approve/Decline → POST /user/mcp-pending-calls/:id carries ONLY the decision. The conditional UPDATE (id + user_id + status='pending' + not expired) makes the decision owner-bound and single-use; the payload cannot be altered through this endpoint. 3. The streaming chat turn waits (bounded, under the stream watchdog). On approval it claims the row via a second conditional UPDATE (approved -> executing, exactly one winner) and executes the STORED arguments read back from the row — never a value that arrived after the user saw the prompt. Denial/timeout returns an honest "declined / not approved in time" tool result to the model, and timeout retires the row so a late click cannot revive it. 4. Gated tools are now visible and enabled: refresh no longer disables them, the toggle works, and tool discovery advertises them to the model with a note that the user will be asked first. ANNOTATION FIXES (review points 2 and 3) - Per the MCP spec, an omitted openWorldHint defaults to TRUE, so the policy now requires an explicit closed-world declaration: readOnlyHint === true && openWorldHint === false && destructiveHint !== true { readOnlyHint: true } alone is an open-world reader and stays gated; the test asserting the old behavior is reversed accordingly. - Annotations are server-controlled and are no longer sufficient for auto-execution. A tool runs unprompted only when BOTH independent signals agree: the annotations positively declare it safe AND the user has flipped the new per-connector "Trust this server's safety annotations" toggle (default off, stored in tool_policy, revocable). Untrusted connectors get per-call approval regardless of annotations. TESTING - confirmation.test.ts: reversed openWorldHint-omitted expectation per the spec, plus strict-type edges and both-signals approval matrix. - approvals.test.ts: drives the real module against an in-memory query builder to prove ownership binding, decision single-use, expiry, exactly-one-winner execution claim, and timeout retirement. - Backend: tsc clean, 284 passed / 5 skipped. Frontend: tsc clean; the pre-existing /account/api-keys prerender failure on this branch reproduces identically without these changes.
