# /iblai-vibe-agent-tool

Add the agent **Tools tab** -- a toggleable list of agent tools with
display names, descriptions in tooltips, and switches for enabling or
disabling each tool. This is one tab in the wider agent-settings family.
All tabs share the same `AgentSettingsProvider` wrapper.

![Tools Tab](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/skills/agents/iblai-vibe-agent-tool/iblai-vibe-agent-tool.png)

> **Common setup (brand, conventions, env files, verification):** see [docs/skill-setup.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/docs/skill-setup.md).

## Prerequisites

- Auth must be set up first (`/iblai-vibe-auth`)
- MCP server + skills configured (`@iblai/mcp` in `.mcp.json`)
- `AgentSettingsProvider` must wrap the route (see `/iblai-vibe-agent-setting`
  Step 2 if not already set up)
- Ask the user for a real `mentorId` (agent UUID). Do NOT invent one.

## Step 1: Check Environment

Before proceeding, check for an `iblai.env` in the project root. Look for
`PLATFORM`, `DOMAIN`, and `TOKEN` variables. If the file does not exist or
is missing these variables, tell the user:
"You need an `iblai.env` with your platform configuration. Download the
template and fill in your values:
`curl -o iblai.env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/iblai.env`"

## Step 2: Mount `AgentToolsTab`

```tsx
// app/(app)/agents/[mentorId]/tools/page.tsx
"use client";

import { AgentToolsTab } from "@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next";

export default function AgentToolsPage() {
  return (
    <div className="flex h-full flex-col bg-white">
      <AgentToolsTab />
    </div>
  );
}
```

## Step 3: Customize Labels (Optional)

```tsx
import { AgentToolsTab } from "@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next";

<AgentToolsTab
  labels={{
    header: { title: "Mentor tools" },
  }}
/>;
```

## Step 4: Use MCP Tools for Customization

```
get_component_info("AgentToolsTab")
get_component_info("AgentSettingsProvider")
```

## `<AgentToolsTab>` Props

Import from `@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next`.

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `labels` | `DeepPartial<ToolsTabLabels>` | No | Override user-visible strings |

## Related Exports

From `@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next`:

- `AGENT_TOOLS_TAB_LABELS` -- the default agent-facing label bundle.
- `ToolsTabLabels` -- type for the full label bundle.

## Step 5: Verify

Run `/iblai-vibe-ops-test` before telling the user the work is ready:

1. `pnpm build` -- must pass with zero errors
2. `pnpm test` -- vitest must pass
3. Start dev server and touch test:
   ```bash
   pnpm dev &
   npx playwright screenshot http://localhost:3000/agents/<id>/tool /tmp/agent-tool.png
   ```

## Important Notes

- **Redux store**: Must include `mentorReducer` and `mentorMiddleware`
- **`initializeDataLayer()`**: 5 args (v1.2+)
- **`@reduxjs/toolkit`**: Deduplicated via webpack aliases in `next.config.ts`
- **Peer deps**: `sonner` and `@iblai/iblai-web-mentor` must be installed
  (`pnpm add sonner @iblai/iblai-web-mentor`)
- **Shared provider**: `AgentSettingsProvider` must wrap the route at a
  layout level. See `/iblai-vibe-agent-setting` Step 2 for the full snippet.
- **Brand guidelines**: [BRAND.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/BRAND.md)

## MCP Servers REST API

For custom UI beyond `<AgentToolsTab>` — register external MCP servers and
bind them to agents. All endpoints are prefixed with
`${dmUrl}/api/ai-mentor/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/` where `dmUrl` is
`NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL`. Organization admins only.

### Workflow

1. **Enable the MCP tool on the agent** (so the runtime will use MCP servers).
2. **Register an MCP server** record (URL, transport, auth_type).
3. **Create a connection** binding credentials to a scope (`platform`, `user`,
   or `mentor`).
4. **Assign servers to the agent** via the agent settings endpoint.

### 1. Enable MCP tool on the agent

| Method | Path | Body |
|---|---|---|
| PUT | `mentors/{mentor_id}/settings/` | `{ "tools": ["mcp-tool", ...] }` |

The `tools` array **replaces** the existing list. Pass `null` to leave
unchanged; `[]` clears all tools.

### 2. MCP Servers

| Method | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| GET | `mcp-servers/` | List organization servers |
| POST | `mcp-servers/` | Register a new server |
| PATCH/PUT | `mcp-servers/{id}/` | Update |
| DELETE | `mcp-servers/{id}/` | Delete |
| GET | `mcp-servers/oauth-find/` | Find a server by OAuth provider/service |

**Create body:**

```json
{
  "name": "Google Drive MCP",
  "description": "Search and index Drive documents",
  "url": "https://drive-mcp.example.com",
  "transport": "sse",
  "auth_type": "oauth2",
  "is_featured": false,
  "is_enabled": true
}
```

- `transport`: `sse` | `websocket` | `streamable_http`
- `auth_type`: `none` | `token` | `oauth2` — *how* credentials are presented
- `auth_scope`: `platform` (default) | `mentor` | `user` — *whose*
  credentials are used. `auth_type=oauth2` + `auth_scope=user` triggers
  the in-chat OAuth handshake (see In-Chat MCP Events below).
- For `auth_type=token`, set `credentials` to the full header value
  (e.g. `"Bearer abc123"`).

### 3. MCP Server Connections

| Method | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| GET | `mcp-server-connections/` | List connections |
| POST | `mcp-server-connections/` | Create a connection |
| PATCH/PUT | `mcp-server-connections/{id}/` | Update / toggle `is_active` |
| DELETE | `mcp-server-connections/{id}/` | Delete |

**Token (platform scope):**

```json
{
  "server": 9,
  "scope": "platform",
  "auth_type": "token",
  "credentials": "Token super-secret",
  "authorization_scheme": "Token",
  "extra_headers": { "x-mcp-client": "mentor-ui" }
}
```

**OAuth (user scope)** — requires an existing `ConnectedService` (see the
OAuth connectors flow):

```json
{
  "server": 9,
  "scope": "user",
  "auth_type": "oauth2",
  "user": "alice",
  "connected_service": 77
}
```

**Agent scope** — bind credentials to a single agent while keeping the
server reusable:

```json
{
  "server": 9,
  "scope": "mentor",
  "auth_type": "token",
  "mentor": 123,
  "credentials": "Token scoped-to-mentor",
  "authorization_scheme": "Token"
}
```

Returned credentials are **masked** (e.g. `"******90"`); only send a new
value when the user intentionally rotates the secret.

### 4. Assign servers to an agent

| Method | Path | Body |
|---|---|---|
| PUT | `mentors/{mentor}/settings/` | `{ "mcp_servers": [1, 2] }` |

The `mcp_servers` array replaces the agent's current list. Pass `null` to
leave unchanged; `[]` clears all servers.

### Resolution order at runtime

1. User-scoped connection (matching invoking user)
2. Agent-scoped connection (matching active agent)
3. Platform-scoped connection
4. Featured server fallback (`is_featured=true` global platform)

### Common errors

- `400 Selected MCP server is not available to the current tenant.` — the
  server belongs to another organization and is not `is_featured=true`.
- `400 OAuth2 connections require a connected service.` — create the OAuth
  connector first and pass `connected_service`.

### UI hints by `auth_type`

- `none`: informational only.
- `token`: inputs for `credentials`, `authorization_scheme`, optional
  header key–value pairs.
- `oauth2`: `ConnectedService` picker filtered by provider/service. Hide
  the Connect action until OAuth is completed, otherwise the API returns
  `400`.

## OAuth Connectors REST API

For OAuth-backed MCP servers (`auth_type=oauth2`), each user must grant
permission once per provider/service before a connection can reference a
`ConnectedService`. All endpoints are under `${dmUrl}/api/accounts/`. Auth:
`Authorization: Token {token}`.

### Endpoints

| Method | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| GET | `orgs/{org}/oauth-services/` | List enabled services across all providers |
| GET | `orgs/{org}/oauth-services/{service_name}/scopes/` | Per-service scope breakdown |
| GET | `connected-services/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/{provider}/{service}/` | Start flow — returns `{ auth_url }` |
| GET | `connected-services/callback/?code=...&state=...` | Handle vendor redirect; persists `ConnectedService` |
| GET | `connected-services/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/` | List the user's connected services |
| DELETE | `connected-services/orgs/{org}/users/{user_id}/{id}/` | Revoke a connection |

### Flow

1. List services → discover what's available.
2. Start flow → open returned `auth_url` in a new window/tab.
3. Vendor redirects to the configured `redirect_uri`; relay
   `code` + `state` to the callback endpoint **without modification**.
4. Callback returns the persisted `ConnectedService` (id, provider, service,
   `expires_at`, `scope`). Tokens auto-refresh server-side.

### Prereqs (admin)

Organization admin must store `auth_{provider}` credentials with `client_id`,
`client_secret`, and `redirect_uri` in the credential store. A start
endpoint returning `400 "No credentials found"` means this is missing.

### Common errors

- `400 "No credentials found"` — admin must configure `auth_{provider}`.
- `Invalid state` — start and callback ran in different browser contexts
  or state expired (>60 min).
- `Could not exchange auth token` — provider rejected the code; verify
  `redirect_uri` matches.

## In-Chat MCP Events (WebSocket / SSE)

When `auth_type=oauth2` + `auth_scope=user` and no user-scoped
`MCPServerConnection` exists, the chat consumer pauses the active session
and emits events on the existing chat socket. Parse JSON, switch on
`type`.

### `oauth_required`

Backend is about to call an MCP server with no user connection. Show
`auth_url` to the user; the backend now polls every 10s.

```json
{
  "type": "oauth_required",
  "server_name": "Google Drive MCP",
  "server_id": 42,
  "auth_url": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?...",
  "message": "Authentication required for MCP server '...'."
}
```

UI: open `auth_url` in a popup/new tab (providers block framing). Show a
"waiting" indicator. Do NOT close the chat socket — resolution arrives on
the same connection.

### `oauth_connection_resolved`

Polling detected the new connection; chat resumes automatically.

```json
{ "type": "oauth_connection_resolved", "server_name": "...", "server_id": 42, "message": "..." }
```

UI: dismiss the prompt. Optionally toast success.

### `mcp_tools_retrieved`

A tool fetch failed but a retry succeeded (up to 3 retries with 1s/2s/4s
backoff). Informational only.

```json
{ "type": "mcp_tools_retrieved", "session_id": "...", "mentor_id": "..." }
```

### `warning`

Non-OAuth MCP failure (server unreachable, bad config, retries exhausted).
Chat continues without MCP tools.

```json
{ "type": "warning", "message": "...", "developer_error": "...", "code": 503 }
```

UI: non-blocking banner using `message`. Log `developer_error` (do NOT
show to end users).

### `error` (ChatValidationError)

Terminates the turn. Three MCP-related cases:

1. **OAuth timeout** (no completion within `MCP_OAUTH_MAX_WAIT_SECONDS` =
   300s).
2. **OAuth URL build failure** (missing credentials, unknown provider).
3. **Missing connected service** (oauth2 connection record without linked
   `ConnectedService`).

```json
{ "error": "Timed out waiting for OAuth authentication...", "status_code": 400 }
```

UI: display `error` (already user-safe). Offer Retry. WebSocket transports
close after this; if the user finishes OAuth after the timeout, their next
message will succeed because the connection is now in place.

### Timing constants

| Constant | Value |
|---|---|
| `MCP_OAUTH_MAX_WAIT_SECONDS` | 300 (5 min) |
| `MCP_OAUTH_POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS` | 10 |
