What and why

Every intermediate toolport.call result inside a code-mode script is defended in execute_call, but the value the script returns was only shaped for size before reaching the model. No PII pass, no brand-spoof neutralization, no injection scan, so block mode never saw it. That made the script a decapsulation primitive: a payload split across two results that each pass on their own, or a script that trims an intermediate's provenance wrapper, arrived unscanned, and structuredContent.result carried the same text.

  • defend_script_aggregate runs the same PII, neutralization and injection passes as defend_and_shape, before the Toolport-authored candidate metadata is inserted and before shaping.
  • The failure text on a script error goes through the same pass, since it embeds whatever the script or a downstream error produced.
  • The aggregate is attributed to script (or routine:<id>) rather than to a server, so a per-server block exemption cannot cover a multi-server result and a PII placeholder minted here only rehydrates through the cross-server gate.
  • Routines use the same dispatch core, so they are covered by the same change.

Behaviour change to note: in label mode, an aggregate that carries a flagged intermediate now has its text wrapped and its structuredContent replaced by the redaction stub, the same as a direct result with a flagged structuredContent. The existing routine test was updated to assert that.

Testing

  • cargo test --no-default-features --bin toolport-gateway (341 passed; new test covers label mode, block mode with a per-server exemption, and the failure path)
  • cargo fmt --check
  • Full CI on this PR

Note

High Risk
Changes content-defense and injection blocking on script output and alters HTTP status semantics for Open WebUI/n8n/OpenAPI integrators; mis-scoping could break clients that assumed 200 meant success.

Overview
Closes two gateway gaps called out in the unreleased changelog: code-mode / routine output and the OpenAPI POST /{tool} surface.

Script and routine results now run the same PII, brand-spoof neutralization, and injection passes as a direct tools/call result before shaping. Successful aggregates go through defend_script_aggregate; failures defend the thrown error and checkpoint separately so a block can strip untrusted text without wiping Toolport’s recovery ledger. Output is attributed to script or routine:<id> via ScriptOwner (NUL-prefixed identity), so per-server injection exemptions cannot cover multi-server compositions.

OpenAPI HTTP clients no longer get 200 when the MCP result has isError: true. openapi_status maps known-tool failures to 400, unknown or out-of-scope names to 404, with {"error": ...} bodies; scoped clients treat invisible tools as 404 so inventory cannot leak across tenants.

Note

Apply content-defense to script final aggregates and fix OpenAPI tool-call HTTP statuses

  • Script and routine outputs now pass through PII pseudonymization, untrusted-result neutralization, and injection defense after aggregation, using a dedicated ScriptOwner identity rather than a server's exemption
  • Failed script error text and checkpoint data are defended independently before the Toolport-authored failure envelope is composed; blocked checkpoints are omitted while the progress ledger is preserved
  • OpenAPI tool-call POSTs now return 400 with a JSON error body for failed known tools and 404 with a non-disclosing body for unknown or out-of-scope tools; successful calls remain 200
  • Behavioral Change: OpenAPI consumers that previously parsed 200 bodies for failed tool calls must now handle 400/404; the MCP endpoint branch and JSON-RPC envelope errors are unchanged

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The gateway now defends script-composed aggregate results before attaching metadata. It applies pseudonymization, brand-spoof neutralization, and injection blocking. Tests cover labeled, blocked, exempted, and failure-result paths.

Changes

Script Aggregate Defense

Layer / File(s) Summary
Defend script aggregates before metadata attachment
src-tauri/src/bin/toolport-gateway.rs
The script path derives an owner and applies content defense to the final aggregate. Blocked results become error payloads.
Validate aggregate and failure handling
src-tauri/src/bin/toolport-gateway.rs
Tests verify redaction, external-data labeling, blocking despite a per-server exemption, and blocking of script-derived failure text.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d1d3f

Screening a flagged script aggregate can lose completed-call checkpoint and progress data. Retrying a failed script may then repeat non-idempotent operations, so this should be fixed before merge.

…to 404 (SBS-937)

The OpenAPI POST handler translated every tools/call envelope into HTTP 200
and only checked the JSON-RPC error slot, which MCP reserves for protocol
errors. A timeout, a denied destructive call, a downstream failure or a
misspelt tool name all arrived as 200 with the error text as a JSON string,
so Open WebUI, n8n and generated clients ran their success path. The spec
already promised 400 and 404 for those cases; the handler now honours it by
reading the result's isError flag, with the router's no-route wording as the
unknown-tool signal.
… result text

Review of #857: matching the router's "no route" wording in the result text
turned a real tool's error that happened to echo it into a 404. The handler
now asks whether the requested name resolves at all (a meta-tool, a grouped
browse tool, a live route, or a catalog entry) and uses only that and the
isError flag to pick 400 or 404.

Agentic security review found one remaining inventory-oracle issue on the new OpenAPI 404 mapping. Script-aggregate defense changes did not introduce additional MEDIUM+ issues on this head.

…ct result (SBS-881)

Every intermediate toolport.call result went through defend_and_shape inside
execute_call, but the value the script composed from them reached the model
with only the size pass: no PII pseudonymization, no brand-spoof
neutralization, no injection scan, and block mode never saw it. A payload
split across two results that each passed on their own, or a script that
trimmed an intermediate's provenance wrapper, arrived unscanned, and the
structured copy of the aggregate carried the same text. The aggregate and the
failure text now get the same pass, attributed to the script (or routine)
rather than to a server so a per-server block exemption cannot cover a
multi-server result. Routines share the path and are covered by the same
change.
