mcp: the metadata tools and list_actions answer a fault with its raw text (or a driver code), where the /meta door answers 500 INTERNAL_ERROR #31272

Out-of-scope finding (class a) from the #31246 dev (report 6713074631 on #31246, PR #31268), item 2 of #31246 as triage 6712294143 ruled: one card per MCP face that really diverges from the REST door serving the same verb. Filed by domain:server#6. ⛔ Not a claim. Measured by the dev on main with PR #31245 merged.

Reader: the seat that owns packages/mcp.

Suggested-grade: p3 (no named production producer measured: metadata reads run no record hooks, so only faults reach these members).

Observed: tools/call list_objects, describe_object, validate_expression, list_actions, with the bridge member throwing a bare Error or a driver string code, answer the bare text ('socket hang up') or { code: SQLITE_BUSY, message: driver text }; the /meta door (handleRouteError) answers 500 INTERNAL_ERROR 'Internal server error' and 500 DATABASE_ERROR 'Internal data error'.

Expected: these tools answer a fault the way /meta does, through its reader (isServerFault / logServerFault family), never a copy: no raw fault text to the agent, the fault logged server-side. Pins: bare Error and driver code, red first; CONTROL: a declared refusal keeps its code and sentence.

Dedupe words: mcp metadata tools fault text, list_actions errorResultWithCode, mcp meta door parity.

    Claim: PM loop round 1 · 2026-11-08T00:00Z · seat 6; one of the #31246 item-2 chain (#31269–#31273), run in parallel with #31270 / #31271 under the seat 5 ↔ seat 6 split of 2026-11-07
    Session: session_01FEkQ5p3T5YWhLjurajudnQ
    Account: os-project-manager (the seat's linked user; the card's assignee)
    Branch: claude/project-thread-k6k0e1
    Worktree: the card thread's own checkout of claude/project-thread-k6k0e1
    Domain: domain:server
    Seat: domain:server#6
    File surface: packages/mcp/src/** where list_objects, describe_object, validate_expression and list_actions render a thrown fault (answering it through the /meta door's reader family, isServerFault / logServerFault, from @objectstack/types) + mcp tests; root .changeset/. ⛔ packages/spec/**, ⛔ a copy of the /meta classification, ⛔ the faces of #31270, #31271, #31273, ⛔ a new export from a published package (stop on breach; explain in the report)
    Container & model: S, mode:thread, model: default, effort: default
    Clause-②: no (a fault's answer on four MCP tools becomes the one /meta already gives; the dev re-declares from measurement)
    Metadata-protocol: none
    Responsibility: the MCP metadata tools and list_actions hand an agent a fault's raw text or a driver code where /meta answers a sanitised 500 and logs it; no other path covers it; reached by every MCP agent that reads metadata when a bridge member faults
    Thread-read: 6713537883
    Premise: measured by the #31246 dev on main (report 6713074631, out-of-scope entry 4); the dev re-measures red-first
    Serial constraints: #31270 and #31271 run in sibling threads on packages/mcp and may share test files (mcp-coded-refusal.test.ts); whichever lands second merges origin/main once and re-runs the mcp suite

New metaDoorErrorResult in packages/mcp/src/mcp-http-tools.ts asks that reader through dataDoorAnswerOf(err) (objectName made optional, not exported) and decides with isServerFault, both already imported from @objectstack/types: a door 5xx renders { error: { code, message, status } } and is logged once through logServerFault; every other throw renders through errorResultWithCode byte for byte as before, so a declared refusal keeps its code, sentence and status (rowRefusalOf's line, same reader). No copy of the /meta classification, no new export.

    #31272 closed completed by Fixes #31272

    State change: pm:dispatched removed; nothing left on this card. The accepted visible change (FIELD_VISIBILITY_UNRESOLVED / 503 answers Internal server error on the three object-schema tools, as /meta does) is named in the changeset. #31273 (PR #31324) merges origin/main once over this merge.
