Research across 8 multi-server agent clients (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini
CLI, VS Code, Cline, Roo Code, Goose, OpenCode) showed all of them keep
the server namespace in model-facing MCP tool names; the RFC's premise
for raw names ("servers already prefix their tools") is false for the
official GitHub/filesystem/Sentry servers.
- Config: drop toolPrefix; require serverName ([A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,32}),
duplicate serverName fails the later instance at load (per-root
reservation, released on dispose)
- Names: always mcp__<serverName>__<rawName>; normalize to the DeepSeek
64-char [A-Za-z0-9_-] contract with a deterministic 12-hex identity
hash on lossy normalization; raw name is the only thing sent on the
wire (tools/call)
- Sync: two-phase fetch/swap — fetch failure keeps the previous
generation; a swap conflict rolls back the whole generation (never a
partial set); duplicate raw names reject the tool list
- RFC: moved to implemented/ (status + skeleton rewritten per the
format contract), naming design + tier-level test coverage recorded
- Tests: naming algorithm unit suite; keyless Streamable HTTP e2e
against an in-process StreamableHTTPServerTransport (namespace
discovery, execution, per-request auth headers); dotted-name
normalization e2e via a new fixture tool
The existing assertion-only executable smoke proved selected outputs but could not detect drift across the integrated Python SDK, JSON-RPC notification stream, and persisted session shape.
Keep this separate from ACP snapshots because it must launch the actual platform-native packaged executable through the Python SDK. The deterministic model drives Cordis dynamic tool mounting, a Code Mode worker dispatch, direct spawn delegation, workflow-worker delegation, plugin disposal, and the parent/child persistence lineage.
Commit four portable goldens for the SDK result and three JSONL logs. Normalize timestamps, temporary paths, opaque session and agent identifiers, and bulky request headers while retaining ordering, tool names and arguments, header deltas, results, lineage, and final responses so all native build legs compare the same behavior.
Run the comparison in the label-gated executable build workflow and document the current coverage in the paired implemented RFC.
