Summary

This PR implements a production-ready JavaScript code execution feature that allows LLM agents to orchestrate multiple upstream MCP tools in a single request using sandboxed JavaScript (ES5.1+). This significantly reduces round-trip latency and enables complex multi-step workflows with conditional logic, loops, and data transformations.

Key Features

Core Functionality

  • Sandboxed JavaScript execution using Goja (ES5.1+ compatible)
  • call_tool() function for invoking upstream MCP servers from JavaScript
  • Execution limits: timeout, max_tool_calls, allowed_servers
  • Concurrent execution pool with configurable size (default: 10 instances)
  • Feature toggle: disabled by default for security (enable_code_execution: false)

Observability (Completed in this PR)

  • execution_id tracking for complete log correlation
  • Pool metrics: size, available instances, in-use count
  • Duration tracking: acquisition, release, and execution times
  • Tool call metrics: individual timing and result logging
  • Thread-safe collection of all metrics

Security

  • Sandbox restrictions: No require(), filesystem, or network access
  • Timeout enforcement: Watchdog goroutine with configurable limits (default: 2 minutes, max: 10 minutes)
  • Server whitelist: Optional allowed_servers per request
  • Max tool calls limit: Prevents abuse and infinite loops
  • Quarantine integration: Respects existing server quarantine status

Developer Experience

  • CLI command: mcpproxy code exec with comprehensive flags
  • Documentation: 4 comprehensive guides
    • Overview (architecture, patterns, best practices)
    • Examples (13 working code samples)
    • API Reference (complete schema, error codes, CLI reference)
    • Troubleshooting (common issues, solutions, debugging)
  • Test coverage: 19 unit tests with 100% pass rate

Configuration

{
  "enable_code_execution": false,
  "code_execution_timeout_ms": 120000,
  "code_execution_max_tool_calls": 0,
  "code_execution_pool_size": 10
}

Example Usage

# Execute JavaScript code
mcpproxy code exec --code "return input.a + input.b" --input '{"a":1,"b":2}'

# Multi-tool orchestration
mcpproxy code exec --file workflow.js --input-file data.json

JavaScript Example:

// Orchestrate multiple tools in a single request
var fileList = call_tool('filesystem', 'list_directory', {path: '/project'});
if (!fileList.ok) {
  return {error: 'Failed to list files'};
}

var results = [];
for (var i = 0; i < fileList.result.files.length; i++) {
  var analysis = call_tool('ast-grep', 'analyze', {
    file: fileList.result.files[i]
  });
  if (analysis.ok) {
    results.push(analysis.result);
  }
}

return {analyzed: results.length, results: results};

Test Plan

  • All 19 unit tests pass (runtime, pool, integration)
  • Pool concurrency tested with 50 concurrent goroutines
  • Timeout enforcement verified (100ms precision)
  • Sandbox restrictions validated
  • Observability metrics confirmed in logs
  • CLI command tested with all flags
  • Documentation reviewed and verified

Implementation Status

Completion: 100% (Production-Ready)

…ct methods

Add missing code_execution operation constant and register it in all tool routing methods to enable CLI command support.

- Add operationCodeExecution constant
- Add case in CallBuiltInTool switch statement
- Add case in CallToolDirect switch statement
- Add to proxyTools map in handleCallTool
- Add to proxy tool routing switch statement

This fixes the 'unknown built-in tool: code_execution' error when using the mcpproxy code exec CLI command.

Add comprehensive session tracking for MCP tool calls with UI display:
- Track MCP session ID, client name, and client version from InitializeRequest
- Link nested tool calls (from code_execution) to their parent calls
- Add 5 new optional fields to ToolCallRecord: parent_call_id, execution_type, mcp_session_id, mcp_client_name, mcp_client_version
- Create thread-safe session store for capturing client metadata
- Display session information in Tool Call History UI with Session column
- Show full session details and JavaScript code in expanded row view
- Support error status display with red badge and error messages
- Include test data generator for populating sample records

Backend changes:
- internal/server/session_store.go: Thread-safe session metadata storage
- internal/server/mcp.go: OnRegisterSession hook for capturing client info
- internal/server/mcp_code_execution.go: Parent-child linking for nested calls
- internal/runtime/runtime.go: API conversion includes new session fields
- internal/storage/server_identity.go: Extended ToolCallRecord schema
- internal/contracts/types.go: API response types with session fields

Frontend changes:
- frontend/src/types/api.ts: TypeScript types for session tracking
- frontend/src/views/ToolCalls.vue: Session column, Monaco editor for code, parent call navigation

Testing:
- cmd/populate-test-data: Tool to generate test records with session data

Changes:
- Updated Validate() to apply defaults for code_execution fields before validation
- Modified ValidateDetailed() to allow 0 values (treat as "use default")
- Fixed test failures in TestValidateDetailed and TestValidateWithDefaults

Fields affected:
- CodeExecutionTimeoutMs: 0 or 1-600000 (default: 120000)
- CodeExecutionPoolSize: 0 or 1-100 (default: 10)
- CodeExecutionMaxToolCalls: >= 0 (0 means unlimited)

This ensures configs without these fields can still validate successfully.
