✅ Toolbar bundle — eager 2.16 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.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds MCP analytics for server builds, input keys, parameter aliases, exec metadata, validation details, and session call state. Redis-backed session tracking records call indexes, session age, and prior schema reads. Direct, exec, and render-ui paths emit the new properties. Taxonomy definitions cover event, MCP, and person properties. Tests cover extraction, session behavior, build metadata, and taxonomy registration. Priority: ⬇️ Low Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Render-ui validation rejections produce less specific diagnostic telemetry than other MCP call modes.

observe()persistsschemaReadToolsbefore the command handler completes. If aninfoorschemacommand fails, the same MCP session records the failed attempt. A later tool call can therefore report$mcp_schema_read_before_call: trueeven though the caller received no schema.This defect affects session analytics only. It does not change tool behavior or durable user data. Commit the schema read only after successful command completion, while continuing to count call attempts independently.

This PR can be smaller if the SDK owns reusable MCP telemetry and this server owns only PostHog-specific behavior. posthog-js#5048 adds safe input-key capture, while posthog-js#5047 confirms that shared properties reach MCP events.
The server should pass typed, unprefixed data to the SDK. The SDK should own and emit all new $mcp_* properties.
Here's a draft plan but I might have missed something, so we can adjust it on the fly.
1. Input keys: use the SDK
Move describeInputKeys() from services/mcp/src/tools/exec.ts to the SDK through posthog-js#5048. The server should pass raw arguments and the advertised JSON Schema to getToolInputProperties().
{
"$mcp_input_keys": ["id"]
}2. Validation input keys: remove
Stop emitting $mcp_validation_input_keys from services/mcp/src/hono/tool-executor.ts. $mcp_input_keys covers successful and failed calls.
Historical queries can use:
coalesce(
properties.$mcp_input_keys,
properties.$mcp_validation_input_keys
)3. Validation fields: add typed SDK support
The server should calculate validation fields because it owns Zod and PostHog API errors. It should pass validationFields to the SDK, which emits $mcp_validation_fields.
{
"validationFields": [
"id:invalid_type:undefined"
]
}The SDK emits:
{
"$mcp_validation_fields": [
"id:invalid_type:undefined"
]
}Keep the existing $mcp_validation_fields name. It does not need an additional error prefix.
4. Aliases: add them to the SDK
Keep tools.yaml as the alias source. The generator should pass the declared alias map to the SDK, which normalizes the input and tracks alias use.
{
"inputAliases": {
"id": [
"experimentId",
"experiment_id"
]
}
}The SDK must reject alias collisions, unknown canonical fields, and aliases assigned to multiple fields.
5. Alias telemetry: emit it from the SDK
The server should not emit a new prefixed property. The SDK should calculate alias use from the declared map and emit $mcp_input_aliases_used.
{
"$mcp_input_aliases_used": [
"experimentId->id"
]
}Use input instead of param so the name matches $mcp_input_keys.
6. Structured errors: extend the SDK
The SDK already supports isError, errorType, and error. Add typed status, code, field, validation fields, and a safe analytics message.
{
"isError": true,
"errorType": "validation",
"errorDetails": {
"status": 400,
"code": "invalid_input",
"field": "id",
"validationFields": [
"id:invalid_type:undefined"
],
"safeMessage": "Invalid input for experiment-get: missing required parameter: id"
}
}The SDK emits:
{
"$mcp_is_error": true,
"$mcp_error_type": "validation",
"$mcp_error_status": 400,
"$mcp_error_code": "invalid_input",
"$mcp_error_field": "id",
"$mcp_validation_fields": [
"id:invalid_type:undefined"
],
"$mcp_error_message": "Invalid input for experiment-get: missing required parameter: id"
}7. Sensitive input: use the SDK redaction convention
The SDK should preserve schema fields and declared aliases. It should replace every other caller-controlled name with [redacted], matching the existing PII masking convention.
{
"$mcp_input_keys": [
"id",
"[redacted]"
]
}Use one [redacted] entry for each hidden key. This preserves the input shape without storing the sensitive text.
The caller response can name an unknown field. The analytics error message must contain only server-controlled text.
The SDK should use one shared redaction constant:
[redacted]
8. Inner exec: parse in the server, emit through the SDK
The server must parse the exec command because the SDK does not know PostHog’s command grammar. It should pass unprefixed dispatch data to the SDK.
{
"dispatch": {
"verb": "call",
"targetTool": "experiment-get"
}
}The SDK emits:
{
"$mcp_exec_verb": "call",
"$mcp_exec_target_tool": "experiment-get"
}The server must not pass an unrecognized caller-controlled tool name. It should pass an error code such as unknown_tool instead.
9. Duration: measure it in the SDK
The automatic SDK path already measures tool-call duration. Extend prepareToolCall() for custom dispatchers so the SDK starts timing and captureToolCall() emits $mcp_duration_ms.
The server should not pass durationMs in the proposed capture schema. The emitted event should still contain the measured duration.
{
"$mcp_duration_ms": 24
}Validation failures should contain their real processing duration. Do not use 0 as a signal that the handler did not run.
10. Server identity and build: add typed SDK options
Use the propagation path covered by posthog-js#5047. Add typed server identity options so the server does not write prefixed properties directly.
{
"server": {
"name": "PostHog",
"version": "1.0.0",
"build": "f47cbc8b"
}
}The SDK emits:
{
"$mcp_server_name": "PostHog",
"$mcp_server_version": "1.0.0",
"$mcp_server_build": "f47cbc8b"
}11. Session properties: defer
Do not add Redis session counters in this PR. Use the SDK’s conversation and session support first, then derive call order from $session_id.
Defer:
{
"$mcp_session_tool_call_index": 1,
"$mcp_session_age_ms": 1200,
"$mcp_schema_read_before_call": false
}12. Schema compatibility: use JSON Schema
Pass the advertised JSON Schema to the SDK. Do not depend on reading alias-wrapped ZodPipe internals.
13. Taxonomy, compatibility, and tests
Register $mcp_input_keys, $mcp_input_aliases_used, and $mcp_validation_fields. Do not register $mcp_validation_input_keys as a new active property.
Adding optional SDK fields is backward-compatible. Removing $mcp_validation_input_keys affects only queries that directly use that unregistered property.
Test direct, exec, and render-ui calls across success, validation, aliases, handler errors, and redacted names. Existing MCP Analytics queries should continue to use $mcp_is_error and $mcp_error_type.

}The raw arguments stay inside the process. The SDK uses them to calculate safe input telemetry and does not send their values through these diagnostic properties.
The SDK starts timing when it prepares the call. The server does not pass a duration.

}Summary
The SDK can own:
- Safe
$mcp_input_keyscollection from raw arguments and JSON Schema. [redacted]replacement for undeclared caller-controlled names.- Alias normalization and
$mcp_input_aliases_used. - Structured error properties and
$mcp_validation_fields. - Dispatch properties after the server parses
exec. - Automatic
$mcp_duration_msmeasurement. - Server name, version, and build.
- Property limits, sanitization, and taxonomy names.
The server should keep PostHog-specific command parsing, validation classification, API error mapping, and business context. It should pass typed, unprefixed values to the SDK.

[security-audit/sensitive-data-exposure] 🟡 MEDIUM
$mcp_input_keys widens the SDK default to record undeclared argument names whenever they're identifier-shaped (RECORDABLE_KEY_PATTERN = /^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]+$/), and now runs on every call (success or failure), not just validation failures as before.
Many real secrets are identifier-shaped by this pattern's own definition — GitHub PATs (ghp_+36 alnum), PostHog personal API keys (phx_/phc_+alnum), AWS access key IDs, hex digests, single JWT segments. A caller (or an LLM agent composing a tool call from injected content) that puts such a token in as an extra key rather than a value — e.g. {"ghp_1A2b3C4d5E6f7G8h9I0jKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz12": true, "channel": "#general"} — has that token land verbatim in $mcp_input_keys on the $mcp_tool_call analytics event, visible to anyone with PostHog analytics access to the project.
Notably this file's own comment on UNRECOGNIZED_EXEC_TOKEN (line 380-382) already flags this exact class of risk for a sibling property ("bounding its charset does not make it value-free — an identifier-shaped secret survives sanitization intact") and avoids it there, but shouldRecordInputKey reintroduces the same pattern for object keys.
Given the comment shows this was a deliberate tradeoff (measuring wrong-spelling key names is the stated goal), this may be an accepted risk rather than an oversight — worth a second look at whether an entropy/known-secret-prefix check is warranted before admitting an undeclared name, given the exec-mode path lets an LLM compose arbitrary JSON keys from untrusted content.
Confidence: Medium — assumes the @posthog/mcp SDK's getToolInputProperties does no additional entropy-based filtering beyond what this repo's own tests exercise (format + 64-char cap); the SDK source isn't vendored here to confirm.

$mcp_validation_input_keysexists only on a rejection. A call the alias layer rescues, or one that sends an unknown key a permissive schema ignores, records nothing about its shape.$mcp_server_versionis the constant1.0.0on every event, so a behaviour change cannot be tied to the deploy that shipped it.experimentIdaliases this telemetry will measure. The description-cap finding (422 August rejections) is fixed separately in #101164.Changes

Direct mode reads the raw input before preprocess folds the alias; exec mode parses the innercallJSON with the dispatcher's own parser. Exec discovery verbs carry neither. SDK-injectedcontextandllm_modelare dropped. Only a plain object is walked:params.argumentsis an unvalidated cast until the schema runs, and a string or array there is not an argument object.WeakMapinsidenormalizeParamAliasesand read back off the schema's pipe chain, so no generated file changes and the map has one source of truth.Mcp-Session-Idalso carry$mcp_session_tool_call_index,$mcp_session_age_msand, on execcalls,$mcp_schema_read_before_call, from one JSON record per session in the existing session Redis cache (same 24 h TTL as the skills-first gate). One GET and one SET per request, started before the handler so the round trip overlaps it, and bounded by a 100 ms deadline so a slow Redis costs the three properties rather than response time. A cache failure drops the three properties and nothing else. The PBKDF2 session key is derived once per session per process instead of on every call.$mcp_server_buildstamps the short commit the bundle was built from (unknownfor an image built without the arg,devfor a local run).

Most Claude Code traffic on MCP protocol 2026-07-28 carries no
Mcp-Session-Id(the modern dialect never sendsinitialize, so the server mints none), and those requests get no session properties. A follow-up PR adds a stable fallback session key so the three session properties cover that traffic too.How did you test this code?

Ruby directed the investigation into why the Experiments MCP error rate rose and chose the scope: telemetry as its own PR separate from #100587 and from the description-cap fix (#101164), with session-key repair as a follow-up. Skills invoked: writing-pr-descriptions, reviewing-with-coderabbit (CLI signed out, so no run), testing-mcp-tools-locally, review-code (eight agents; two blocking findings confirmed by validators and fixed: the argument-name walk on an unvalidated cast, and alias use counted when the canonical was also sent; the session deadline, per-session key hash cache,
render-uistamping, masked key names, and the taxonomy registration test came from the same pass; deriving the session properties at query time was declined and the reason recorded in the module doc). No open PR adds these properties (gh pr list --search "mcp_input_keys"found nothing). No customer material: the end-to-end run used a local dev project and invented values.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
