mcp: the record data tools keep an unregistered declared-4xx code and drop a refusal's userMessage, where /data answers the closed code with declaredCode and serves userMessage (LEAVE_EXHAUSTED / 409) #31407

What is wrong

The MCP record data faces (query_records, aggregate_records, get_record, create_record, update_record, delete_record, delete_records' selection read, and the objectstack://objects/{name}/records/{id} resource) answer a coded throw that the /data door treats as a refusal through their own coded envelope (thrownRefusalEnvelope), not through the door's answer. Measured on 03533d2c by the #31373 dev:

  1. An app's own, unregistered code with a declared 4xx, for example Object.assign(new Error('No leave days left this year.'), { code: 'LEAVE_EXHAUSTED', status: 409 }). /api/v1/data (mapDataError) answers 409 RESOURCE_CONFLICT with declaredCode: 'LEAVE_EXHAUSTED'. The record faces answer code: 'LEAVE_EXHAUSTED', a code outside the registered vocabulary, and no declaredCode.
  2. A status-less code the door refuses, carrying a producer userMessage (for example PERMISSION_DENIED + userMessage). /data answers 403 with the userMessage. The record faces render the coded envelope and drop the userMessage.

MCP run_action / resume_run already answer case 1 as /actions does (closed code + declaredCode, #31271), and since #31373 the record faces serve declaredCode / userMessage on the door-answer path (declared 5xx, code-less throws). The envelope path is now the one place on these faces that differs from /data.

Expected

The record data faces answer these throws with what /data answers: the closed code, declaredCode and userMessage as the door serves them, read from the door's own answer (dataDoorAnswerOf / mapDataError), never a copy. The coded sandboxed refusal answer that #31246 pins (code, inner sentence, status) is kept.

Where to start

  • packages/mcp/src/mcp-http-tools.ts: dataDoorRefusalEnvelope, dataDoorAnswerOf, dataDoorErrorResult; the record resource catch in mcp-server-runtime.ts.
  • mcp-coded-refusal.test.ts: the CONTROL rows that keep a declared-below-500 coded envelope byte for byte move with this card.

Provenance

out_of_scope_findings 1 and 2 in the #31373 dev's report 6718161334 (PR #31405). Filed by the seat as their carrier. A third finding there (delete_records' outer catch renders a code-less throw as its bare message) is the #31218 / #31246 design and is not part of this card.

    Responsibility: the MCP record faces hand an agent an unregistered code (LEAVE_EXHAUSTED) where /api/v1/data answers the closed code with declaredCode, and drop a refused code's userMessage that /data serves; no other path covers it; reached by every MCP agent that reads or writes records when a producer throws such a code

    Premise: measured by the #31373 dev (report 6718161334, out_of_scope_findings 1 and 2) on 03533d2c; the dev re-measures red-first on current main
    Serial constraints: PR #31408 (#31330) is queued on runtime/cli files, no overlap expected; whichever lands second merges origin/main once

    State change: pm:dispatched removed; nothing left on this card. With #31341, #31373 and #31407 merged, the MCP record data faces answer a thrown value as /api/v1/data does on both the fault and the refusal path.
