MCP and Agent Tooling Roadmap

Status: Draft Parent: docs/ROADMAP.md

Phase A0 — Tool Design

  • Define product namespace
  • Define tool taxonomy
  • Classify read-only vs mutating tools
  • Define role gating rules
  • Define audit requirements
  • Define dry-run expectations where practical

Phase A1 — Core Tools

  • List notes
  • Get note
  • Search notes
  • Create note draft
  • Workspace-scoped retrieval
  • Define tool input/output schemas

Phase A2 — Agent Workflows

  • Propose note edit
  • Summarize note
  • Extract tasks
  • Attach citations
  • Review approvals
  • Export note bundle/context pack

Phase A3 — Operational Hardening

  • Workspace/product scoping guardrails
  • Audit verification for mutating tools
  • Safe usage docs and runbooks
  • Regression tests for mutating tool paths
  • Review mcp-server integration against auth boundaries

A2A Follow-On Work

  • Define ingest -> enrich -> approve -> persist flow
  • Define which workflows remain synchronous vs async
  • Define optional webhook/job triggers

Progress Notes

  • 2026-03-10 — Product-side MCP contract layer added under backend/src/mcp/note-tool-contracts.ts.
  • Defined first core tool contracts:
    • notes.notes.list
    • notes.notes.get
    • notes.notes.search
    • notes.notes.create_draft
  • Contract decisions currently encoded in schemas:
    • read-only tools require viewer
    • draft creation requires admin
    • mutating draft creation supports dryRun, idempotencyKey, and correlationId
    • all core tools are explicitly workspace-scoped

Open Questions

  • Should the namespace stay notes.* or be prefixed more explicitly for ByteLyst internal routing?
  • Should create_draft return a draft note directly or create a note-agent-actions proposal record first?
  • Which MCP calls should require admin vs super_admin once operator review flows exist?

Blockers

  • mcp-server registration and product client execution wiring have not been implemented yet.
  • Contract tests exist, but package install and test execution are still pending.

Deferred

  • Mutating workflow execution
  • Approval/review tools
  • Export/context-pack tools
  • A2A orchestration specifics

Done When

  • MCP tools cover core note workflows
  • Mutating tool paths are auditable and scoped
  • Coding agents have clear contracts for using tools safely
