| 3 | +// E2E smoke test for the in-process `tpa-descriptions` scanner (MCP-2446). |
| 4 | +// |
| 5 | +// Goal: prove, end-to-end and deterministically, that a connected MCP server |
| 6 | +// whose tool description hides instructions ("ignore previous instructions and |
| 7 | +// do not tell the user…") produces a critical `tpa_hidden_instructions` |
| 8 | +// finding, while a clean description produces none. |
| 9 | +// |
| 10 | +// The full chain exercised here is the same one `POST /scan` and |
| 11 | +// `mcpproxy security scan <server> --scanners tpa-descriptions` drive: |
| 12 | +// |
| 13 | +// MCP server (tools/list) → exported tools.json → Engine.StartScan |
| 14 | +// → in-process tpa-descriptions scanner → aggregated report |
| 15 | +// |
| 16 | +// Determinism / hermeticity (issue constraints): |
| 17 | +// - Only the Docker-less, in-process `tpa-descriptions` scanner runs |
| 18 | +// (docker=nil, ScannerIDs pinned to it) — no Docker, no network. |
| 19 | +// - The MCP fixture is stood up via mcp-go's in-process transport rather than |
| 20 | +// a stdio subprocess. The transport is immaterial to this scanner, which |
| 21 | +// only ever sees the exported tool definitions; in-process keeps the smoke |
| 22 | +// test free of subprocess/build flakiness. The tool definitions are still |
| 23 | +// produced by a real MCP `initialize` + `tools/list` round-trip. |
| 24 | +// |
| 25 | +// Gated behind the `integration` build tag (same mechanism as the existing |
| 26 | +// API/CLI E2E tests, e.g. cmd/mcpproxy/integration_test.go) so it is excluded |
| 27 | +// from the default unit pass and runs via `go test -tags integration`. |
