DESCRIBE MICROFLOW does not describe the entire Microflow

[PhetoJob]

I have been using mxcli to extract all the API endpoints (REST and otherwise) that a certain Mendix application is using. While doing so I realized it did not export all the endpoints that are being consumed. While investigating Claude itself suggested there could be truncation at play, but that is actually not the case.

One microflow Quota_Management.GetQuotaRequest is described including a REST CALL:

CREATE OR MODIFY MICROFLOW Quota_Management.GetQuotaRequest (
  $PlanId: String,
  $AsOnDate: DateTime,
  $CustomerId: String,
  $PlatformAccountId: String,
  $ServiceId: String,
  $Offset: Integer,
  $Limit: Integer
)
RETURNS Quota_Management.QuotaResponse
FOLDER 'AccountQuota'
BEGIN
  @position(-455, 170)
  $AccessToken = CALL MICROFLOW Public_Cloud_API.AutheticateMxIDRequest(AuthScope = Public_Cloud_API.Enum_AuthScope.es_quota_read) ON ERROR ROLLBACK;
  @position(-250, 170)
  DECLARE $FormattedDate String = if $AsOnDate != empty
then
        formatDateTime($AsOnDate, 'yyyy-MM-dd')
        +'T'
        +formatDateTime([%EndOfCurrentDay%], 'HH:mm:ss')
        +'Z'
else
        formatDateTime([%CurrentDateTime%], 'yyyy-MM-dd')
        +'T'
        +formatDateTime([%EndOfCurrentDay%], 'HH:mm:ss')
        +'Z'
;
  @position(-65, 170)
  DECLARE $QueryParams String = (if $CustomerId != empty then '&customer-id=' + urlEncode(trim($CustomerId)) else '') +
(if $PlatformAccountId != empty then '&platform-account-id=' + urlEncode(trim($PlatformAccountId)) else '') +
(if $ServiceId != empty then '&service-id=' + $ServiceId else '') +
(if $PlanId != empty then '&plan-id=' + $PlanId else '') +
(if $AsOnDate != empty then '&as-on-date=' + $FormattedDate else '') +
(if $Offset != empty then '&offset=' + $Offset else '') +
(if $Limit != empty then '&limit=' + $Limit else '')


;
  @position(130, 170)
  $EntitlementServiceBaseURL = CALL MICROFLOW LicensePortal.GetLPSettingByGroupAndName(SettingName = getCaption(Quota_Management.EntitlementService_Settings.Base_URL), SettingGroup = @Quota_Management.EntitlementServiceSettingsGroupName) ON ERROR ROLLBACK;
  @position(325, 170)
  $QuotaResponse = REST CALL GET '{1}/entitlements/quota/v1{2}' WITH ({1} = $EntitlementServiceBaseURL, {2} = replaceFirst($QueryParams,'&','?'))
    HEADER 'Authorization' = $AccessToken
    TIMEOUT 60
    RETURNS MAPPING Quota_Management.Quota AS Quota_Management.QuotaResponse ON ERROR WITHOUT ROLLBACK {
    LOG ERROR NODE toString(Quota_Management.LogNode.Entitlements) 'Failed to get Quota for Platform AccountId: {1}! Error - {2}
' WITH ({1} = $PlatformAccountId, {2} = $latestHttpResponse/ReasonPhrase);
    RETURN empty;
  };
  @position(505, 170)
  RETURN $QuotaResponse;
END;

Another microflow Quota_Management.CreateClaimRequest although having a Call REST action (see attached screenshot of the microflow) it is not part of the DESCRIBE output:

CREATE OR MODIFY MICROFLOW Quota_Management.CreateClaimRequest (
  $ClaimRequest: Quota_Management.ClaimCreationRequest,
  $AllowRetry: Boolean
)
RETURNS Quota_Management.ClaimCreationResponse
FOLDER 'Claim/Create'
BEGIN
  @position(-210, -50)
  $AccessToken = CALL MICROFLOW Public_Cloud_API.AutheticateMxIDRequest(AuthScope = Public_Cloud_API.Enum_AuthScope.es_claims_write) ON ERROR ROLLBACK;
  @position(15, -50)
  $EntitlementServiceBaseURL = CALL MICROFLOW LicensePortal.GetLPSettingByGroupAndName(SettingName = getCaption(Quota_Management.EntitlementService_Settings.Base_URL), SettingGroup = @Quota_Management.EntitlementServiceSettingsGroupName) ON ERROR ROLLBACK;
  @position(235, -50)
  $RetryLimit = CALL MICROFLOW LicensePortal.GetLPSettingByGroupAndName(SettingName = getCaption(Quota_Management.EntitlementService_Settings.Claims_API_retry_limit), SettingGroup = @Quota_Management.EntitlementServiceSettingsGroupName) ON ERROR ROLLBACK;
  @position(455, -50)
  $RetryDelay = CALL MICROFLOW LicensePortal.GetLPSettingByGroupAndName(SettingName = getCaption(Quota_Management.EntitlementService_Settings.Claims_API_retry_delay), SettingGroup = @Quota_Management.EntitlementServiceSettingsGroupName) ON ERROR ROLLBACK;
  @position(660, -50)
  DECLARE $RetryCount Integer = 0;
END;

Issue Triage

Summary:
The user reports that mxcli describe microflow omits a REST CALL action in one of their microflows while it correctly shows the REST call in another microflow.

Checklist of required information for a bug report

Required info	Present?	Details
mxcli version	❌	Not mentioned
Mendix version	❌	Not mentioned
Scenario (what command was run)	⚠️	Implied they ran describe microflow, but not explicitly stated
Expected output	✅	They expect the REST CALL to appear in the DESCRIBE output
Experienced output	✅	The REST CALL is missing from the output for Quota_Management.CreateClaimRequest
AI bug report (mxcli diag --bundle or session log)	❌	Not provided

What’s missing:
Please provide the mxcli version (mxcli --version), the Mendix version of the project, the exact CLI command you used, and either a diagnostic bundle (mxcli diag --bundle) or the relevant session log. This will help us reproduce and investigate the truncation issue.

Thank you for reporting the problem! Once we have the additional details, we’ll be able to look into it further.

Reproduced this on the latest main. The describer's traverseFlow returns early on every ExclusiveMerge, assuming it'll be handled by the matching split's branch traversal — but the merge in your CreateClaimRequest (visible in the screenshot) is a pure junction used as the loop-back target of a manual retry-loop pattern, not the end of an IF/ELSE. Since it isn't paired with any split in splitMergeMap, the traversal stops there and drops the Call REST, the retry decision, the change-retry-count, and the delay.

Fix opened in #285: treat unpaired merges as pass-through, so traversal continues through the outgoing flow. Covered by three regression tests, including one that mirrors the setup → merge → call → decide → [retry branch] → change → delay → merge shape of your microflow.

The fix will be available in the next release once #285 is merged. Thanks for the detailed report with the screenshot — made it easy to pin down the shape.

Thanks for the quick action, looking forward to the next version!
