fix(experiments): id aliases and by-flag-key lookup for the MCP tools - #100587
Conversation
…ools Agents send experimentId / experiment_id where the experiment tools require id, and a guessed id surfaces as an unclassified internal error. The flag tools fixed the same failures in July on their by-key lookup only. - accept experimentId / experiment_id on every experiment tool that takes an experiment id, and run_id / runId / recalculationId for recalculation_id, via param_overrides aliases; the results tool gets the same aliases plus string-to-int casting - accept flagId / flag_id / feature_flag_id / featureFlagId on the id-based flag tools, which still failed at the same rate - throw the experiment not-found rewrite as a typed 404 so it classifies as api_4xx, keeps its message, and stops capturing an exception per guessed id; the results tool keeps the typed error as cause - accept stored exposure configs without kind or properties and explicit null configs in the read-side schema, so results reads stop failing on experiments the backend accepted - add experiment-get-by-flag-key with the not-found-as-data pattern Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… change - resolve the flag key once and read experiment_set off the flag row, so experiment-get-by-flag-key is one list call plus the experiment fetch instead of up to four requests; the archived retry goes away because experiment_set already includes archived experiments - share the flag-key resolution between both by-key tools - keep the typed error as cause only for a 404, so a 400 from a badly built exposure query is still captured; use the existing wrapError - move the experiment id tool table into a fixture shared by the cast and alias tests, and add a guard that fails when a generated id-taking tool is missing from it - cover null kind/properties on stored exposure configs and run-id alias precedence Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

✅ Toolbar bundle — eager 2.33 MiB within budget
What the toolbar ships to customer pages, measured from the esbuild output (minified, post-tree-shake). The eager set is the entry plus everything statically imported from it — fetched before any feature runs; deferred chunks load lazily. The eager guardrail is 5.72 MiB. Each output file must also stay below 10 MB, where CloudFront stops compressing it. The module boundary is enforced separately by check-toolbar-graph.

Asked for the experiment behind a flag key, an agent driven through the exec path listed every experiment and picked one by id, never finding the new by-key tool: nothing in experiment-get, experiment-list or the finding-experiments skill named it. Their descriptions now route a flag-key reference to experiment-get-by-flag-key. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

generally looks good to me, but suggesting to look at these before merging:
- experiment-get-by-flag-key misses archived experiments, contradicting its own description. resolveFlagsByKey calls the flag list without archived, and the list hides archived flags by default (feature_flag.py:3386). Archiving an experiment archives its flag when the flag is disabled and no other live experiment uses it (experiment_service.py:2076-2078). The tool then says "No feature flag with key … exists, create one with experiment-create", and that create fails on the taken key. Fix: retry with archived=true on a miss (passing it alone flips to archived-only). Same bug exists in feature-flag-get-definition-by-key on master; the shared helper fixes both. Add the archived case to the tests.
- The "Experiment N not found" rewrite in client.ts fires on sub-resource 404s. The regex //experiments/(\d+)/ also matches …/metrics_recalculation/latest/ (404 "No completed recalculation found", views.py:1314) and …/metrics_recalculation/{id}/ (404 "Recalculation not found", views.py:1346, now reachable via the new run_id/runId aliases). The agent is told the experiment is missing and to switch projects. Pre-existing, but this PR rewrites that block and now classifies it as agent-actionable. Anchor the match to the experiment resource (/experiments/\d+/?$) and pass other 404s through with the backend's detail.
- Several experiments on one flag is not an error. experiment-duplicate reuses the source flag unless a new key is given (experiment_service.py:4141), so re-runs stack up. Return the candidates as data (id, name, status, archived, created_at), or auto-pick when exactly one is non-archived, instead of throwing with bare ids.
- Land the alias-shadowing generator lint now, not as a follow-up. normalizeParamAliases keeps the canonical key and deletes the alias silently. Today no alias collides with a real field on any tool that got one (I checked the Orval schemas; feature_flag_id exists only on experiment-list, which has no aliases). A future OpenAPI field named experiment_id or feature_flag_id on one of these 40+ tools would be dropped with no error. The lint is small and protects the whole mechanism.
- Hand-edited generated files. CI diffs tool-inputs.json but not src/tools/generated/*.ts. Run generate-tools once and diff only experiments.ts and feature_flags.ts before merge, so the next regeneration doesn't rewrite the edits.
- retry the flag-key lookup against archived flags on a miss: the flag list hides archived flags by default and archiving an experiment archives its flag, so both by-key tools reported those as missing - anchor the experiment not-found rewrite to the experiment resource so sub-resource 404s (metrics_recalculation) keep the backend's detail - treat several experiments on one flag as data: pick the single live one, else the single archived one, else return the candidates - reject an alias that is also a declared parameter in generate-tools, since normalizeParamAliases would drop that parameter's value Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

717-718: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winReject duplicate aliases across parameters.
The configuration schema accepts duplicate aliases, and
composeToolSchemadoes not enforce uniqueness. However,normalizeParamAliasesprocesses canonical entries in order and deletes each alias after the first match. A shared alias is therefore assigned to only the first canonical parameter; the later parameter remains unset. This can fail validation or bind the value to the wrong field.Track alias ownership and reject duplicates.
Proposed fix
const paramAliases: Record<string, string[]> = {} +const aliasOwners = new Map<string, string>() ... const declaredParamNames = new Set([...pathParamNames, ...queryParamNames, ...bodyFieldNames]) for (const alias of override.aliases) { if (alias === paramName || declaredParamNames.has(alias)) { throw new Error( `${config.operation}: alias "${alias}" for param "${paramName}" is also a declared parameter ` + 'of this operation, so normalizeParamAliases would drop its value. Rename or remove the alias.' ) } + const owner = aliasOwners.get(alias) + if (owner) { + throw new Error( + `${config.operation}: alias "${alias}" is assigned to both parameters "${owner}" and "${paramName}". ` + + 'Rename or remove the duplicate alias.' + ) + } + aliasOwners.set(alias, paramName) }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

whenever the active results contain no exact-case key match, not only when
results is empty. If neither active nor archived results has an exact-case
match, combine both result sets so ambiguity is preserved; retain the
exact-match behavior for either set.

…y-flag-key lookup Live-API cases: an archived experiment, whose flag the flag list hides by default, is still found and comes back with archived: true; two drafts on one flag come back as candidates, and once one is archived the lookup picks the live one.

…ange - keep the typed cause on results-tool failures by default and strip it only for a 400 from the tool's own exposure query, so 403 and 429 stay agent-recoverable instead of being captured as internal errors - add a reason (no_flag, no_experiment, ambiguous) to the by-flag-key miss, and say in the finding-experiments skill that ambiguous means the experiment exists, so agents do not create a duplicate - build the experiment not-found error in buildApiError, keyed on DRF's generic detail rather than path shape: a missing experiment behind a lifecycle action keeps the recovery message, a sub-resource with its own detail passes through - run the alias lint after the overrides loop and reject one alias claimed by two params - extract the multi-experiment pick into a helper, drop the redundant casts, reword the benchmark criterion that assumed archived flags are hidden from the by-key lookup, and cover the gaps each review named Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@mp-hog i ended up here following my nose from another change
if someone's agent is using the API and not the MCP then they don't get this help
should this be just in the API?

Problem
Our error rate on experiment MCP tools increased to 5.2% in August. This PR closes the gaps the investigation found in the experiments tools; the telemetry to settle the cause of the rise is in #101133, and a session-key fallback for header-less Claude Code traffic follows.
experimentIdorexperiment_id, and every experiment tool accepts onlyid. Missing ids are 58.5% of the errors (measurable since #72053, Jul 19).experimentIdwas the name these tools took until #53486 renamed it toidin April. That explains the wrong-name calls, not the August rise: the per-call validation rate doubled in the week of Jul 13 across every exec-mode client, and the Claude Code family grew to over half of experiment traffic at 5 to 6% against Codex's 1%. Other products keep old names as aliases; the experiment tools declared none.experimentIdand carried a session id, 52 had read the schema first; 286 alias failures came from tools mode, where the schema is in the tool list. Since Aug 10 most Claude Code traffic carries no session id, so both figures are on the attributable subset.internalwith no message and captured as an exception per guess. Results reads fail for an experiment whose stored exposure config has nokind, a shape the backend accepts. There is no way to fetch an experiment by its flag key, the identifier agents hold.Changes
experimentIdandexperiment_idrun_id,runIdandrecalculationId.flagId,flag_id,feature_flag_idandfeatureFlagId.tools.yamlunderparam_overrides.<param>.aliases. Advertised JSON schemas do not change. The generator now rejects an alias that is also a declared parameter, or one alias claimed by two params, since either would silently drop a value.experiment-get-by-flag-keyreturns the full experiment for a flag key, orfound: falsewith areason(no_flag,no_experiment,ambiguous) and a message.

Same message to agents, classifiedapi_4xx, no error-tracking issue per guessed id. The results tool keeps the typed cause except for a 400 from its own exposure query.kindandpropertiesand null configs, filling the backend's defaults.tool-definitions-all.jsoncarry the alias wrappers and the new entry; a sharedresolveFlagsByKeyhelper replaces the duplicated key resolution in the flag by-key tool.Note
CI does not regenerate
services/mcp/src/tools/generated/*.ts. The alias wrappers were applied to master's generated files in the formgenerate-tools.tsemits and checked against a local generator run. A raw regeneration was not committed because the local OpenAPI artifact is stale for unrelated products.How did you test this code?
experiments.integration.test.tsfor the alias, the by-flag-key hit and miss, an archived experiment whose flag the flag list hides, two experiments on one flag (candidates, then auto-pick after one is archived), and a guessed id. Run locally on the demo project; CI'sci-mcp.ymljob runs the same file.execpath with the MCP Inspector CLI.--printmode against the local MCP server, five natural-language questions. It used the by-flag-key tool for the existence check and surfaced the 404 message verbatim; it missed the by-flag-key tool once, which the description change fixes. Fresh sessions read the schema first, so this does not exercise the aliases.feature-flags-test-evaluation-createran locally but failed in setup: its fixture creates a person, and the local persons API 500s without the personhog service CI starts. It never reached tool code, so CI is the check for it.How the agent-driven check was run
