Siddharth Balyan eb5d735e9a Application-backed MCP servers: live endpoint per attempt, tools follow app liveness, errors and the tool catalog say why (NS-943) (#119050)
* feat: expose interactive and live endpoint facts

* feat: hydrate application-backed MCP liveness

* feat: export interactive session fact

* fix: classify unsupported declared hosts

* test(mcp): a runtime file without a token connects without an Authorization header

* fix(mcp): server_json liveness fields default to http/token/pid; an invalid declaration degrades to static instead of failing the server task

* fix(mcp): a connected server is offerable regardless of the interactive-session rule; the rule only shapes the not-connected sentence

* test(mcp): follow main's ToolSearchConfig fields and patch _bump_server_error at its origin module

"""Progressive tool disclosure ("tool search"): MCP/plugin tools and a curated set of
event-triggered core tools are replaced in the model-visible array by three bridge tools —
tool_search / tool_describe / tool_call. Invariants: core tools (``toolsets._HERMES_CORE_TOOLS``)
and session-gated GUI toolsets never defer unless named in ``defer``; ANY deferrable tool
activates the bridge (the listing scales with budget, not activation); the catalog is
stateless — rebuilt from the live tool-defs every assembly (a session-keyed one drifts and
silently drops tools); bridge calls route through ``model_tools.handle_function_call``."""

# Names external plugins imported from this module before the Sep 2026 decomposition.
# Internal code MUST NOT use these (scripts/check_compat_pointers.py fails CI if it does).
# The whole block is removed by reverting the commit that added it.

"""Render a skills-style manifest of the deferred catalog.
One line per tool — ``name: short description`` — grouped under a
heading per source (MCP server / plugin toolset), exactly like the
bundled-skills listing in the system prompt:
github tools: (44)
- create_issue: Open a new issue in a GitHub repository.
- merge_pull_request: Merge an open pull request.
...
Ordering is deterministic (groups and tools sorted by name) so the
rendered block is byte-stable across assemblies of the same catalog —
this keeps the request prefix cacheable across turns.
Token-budget fallbacks (cheap chars/4 estimate, same rule as the
activation gate):
1. full listing (names + short descriptions)
2. names-only listing, still grouped
3. server-level summary — one line per MCP server / plugin toolset
(name + tool count), so the model always knows WHICH domains are
reachable through the bridge even when per-tool names don't fit
4. ``None`` — only when the summary itself exceeds the budget
