Problem

Agents refused a page's WebMCP write tool even when the user asked for that exact change, because preview_evaluate and the shared instructions said page tools only read data. Closes #26471

Change

• preview_evaluate and the "Visuals and preview" instructions now say page tools write only on user request. Showing results with html_render, not page tools, is unchanged.
• Three mcp-tool-use eval cases: a requested note write, a requested dashboard save, and a guard that a question about site data doesn't write.

Verification

Web dev client, Claude Haiku 5.5, and a local notes page with WebMCP create_note (no form) open in the Browser panel. Prompt on both builds: "On the notes page open in my browser, create a note titled Groceries with milk and eggs".

Before, main: read the reply. Haiku refuses because its preview tool "only lets me read page tools", and the page keeps two notes.

before.mp4

After, this PR: watch the right panel. A "Groceries / Milk and eggs" note appears. Haiku made the write by posting to the page's own /api/notes, because it looked for navigator.modelContext and missed document.modelContext.

after.mp4

• Evals (GPT-6.1 Sol, 3 samples): requested note write 0/3 on main → 3/3 here, requested dashboard save 0/3 → 3/3, both read-only guards 3/3 on both.

Guard, same thread: "Do any of my notes mention a deadline?" gets an answer and nothing is written. The notes server logged no create or delete.

Naming the tool works on both main and this PR with Haiku; this PR fixes requests that don't name it.

• fleet-job check passed at cf66822acc (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 27 packages, tests).
• Not shown: a plain-prompt write through executeTool (Haiku and Sonnet 5.5 both used the page API at this head), Claude evals, packaged desktop and mobile, and browsers without the WebMCP flag.

Re-verified with Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code in T3 Code).

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The shared agent policy now permits user-requested WebMCP writes instead of restricting page tools to reads, while retaining the separate results-display restriction. This default-policy change enables persistent changes on connected sites and requires human confirmation of the intended product behavior.

Walkthrough

Preview guidance now permits page-tool writes when the user requests them. The MCP tool-use evaluator replays WebMCP expressions and grades executed tools and inputs, including prohibited calls.

Changes: Preview guidance and WebMCP evaluation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Requested page-tool writes apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/preview/tools.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/orchestrationInstructions.ts, apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json	The preview tool description and orchestration instructions state that page tools write only on user request. Three configured context byte limits decrease.
WebMCP replay and grading evals/mcp-tool-use/run.ts, evals/mcp-tool-use/run.test.ts, evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/visual-preview.ndjson, evals/mcp-tool-use/README.md	The evaluator replays each tab’s expressions in a child-process VM and grades expected tool calls, inputs, and prohibited calls. Tests and cases cover requested note creation, read-only checks, chart saving, tab scope, replay termination, and page errors. The README documents the webmcp expectation field.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#26471] requires preview_evaluate to allow a page write tool when the user explicitly requests the site change. The production description now allows page state changes and page-tool writes on user request. The shared orchestration instructions apply the same rule. They retain html_render for displayed results and retain agent-owned tab scope. The added WebMCP evals check requested writes, read-only queries, tab context, arguments, and forbidden calls. The current head also preserves the reported passing regression and typecheck results.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed production files directly implement issue [#26471]. The context-budget updates support the revised instructions. The eval cases, replay logic, tests, and documentation verify requested writes, read-only behavior, argument handling, tab isolation, and result rendering. The current rebase changes only the recorded budget adjustment and does not demonstrate an unrelated production feature or permission change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's Problem, Change, and Verification sections, and it links the issue that describes the problem. It explains the bug, the wording changes in the two instruction files, and the three eval cases. It reports before/after evidence with screenshots and recordings, eval scores, a guard case, and a fleet-job check result. The 'Scope and approval' section is missing. The linked issue #26471 is cited as the problem source, but the description does not show a triaged maintainer approval or an explicit discussion approval comment. The description also does not state the model and harness that did the work in the format the template asks for. Most of the template is covered, so the check passes, but the missing approval link is a gap the reviewer should check.

338-354: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Test executeWebMcp directly.

executeWebMcp owns the replay child and sets --unhandled-rejections=none. The outer Node process is not needed to contain page rejections. Keep both expressions in one replay call so the second expression proves that a rejection left after the first expression does not stop replay. If the flag is removed, the replay child terminates and executeWebMcp throws.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject incomplete WebMCP replays before grading absence.

ETIMEDOUT and ENOBUFS currently return the executions printed before replay stopped. webmcp notCalls then treats missing later output as proof that the tool was not called. A sequence can hit the 30-second limit or 16 MiB buffer before a later forbidden expression runs, so the check can pass incorrectly.

Suggested fix

-  // A hung or oversized page keeps what it printed; a child that never started is a harness fault.
-  const code = (child.error as NodeJS.ErrnoException | undefined)?.code;
-  if (child.error !== undefined && code !== "ETIMEDOUT" && code !== "ENOBUFS") throw child.error;
+  // An incomplete replay cannot prove that a tool was not called.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Mark truncated WebMCP replays as incomplete.

A page expression can hit the 128-call cap before it reaches a later forbidden tool. The same can happen when vm.runInContext reaches its 250 ms timeout before the call. The replay then keeps earlier output, and notCalls checks only recorded executions, so the check can pass falsely.

Return an incomplete signal for the execution-cap and VM-timeout paths. Make webmcp notCalls fail when that signal is set. Keep ordinary page exceptions handled as partial, valid replays.

[GPT-6.1 Sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Both outside-diff findings in review 5688221233 are fixed in 568b3d4:

• R12: every child-process error, including ETIMEDOUT and ENOBUFS, is a harness fault before grading partial output.
• R13: VM timeouts and the page-call cap also terminate replay as a harness fault. The cap remains detectable when page code catches its rejection. Ordinary page exceptions still retain executed calls.

The regressions failed before the fix. vp run check:changed now passes all 419 tests and 23 affected typechecks. Regrading all saved native old/new samples leaves every reported score unchanged. Production text and model-facing fixture inputs are unchanged.

continued on the original branch at 32bbde2487eea62c57a48840dc9ee3ceda103ffe. thanks @shivamhwp for correcting both conflicting policy clauses and adding the requested-write and read-only guards. the unsupported-api concern in the triage note was already addressed by your later native-api replay commits.

• preserved all contributor commits and merged github/main at 3dd62dce70 without rebasing. simplified the abnormal-termination test by 18 lines; no production behavior, fixtures, or coverage was removed. the production clauses and context budget are identical to 75ea453d.
• blacksmith vp run check:changed passed: 420 tests in four files, all 23 affected package typechecks, format, lint, knip, and graphql.
• paired sol model evals with mocked page tools, three samples each, main policy → this policy: requested note creation 0/3 → 3/3; explicit chart save 0/3 → 3/3; read without writes 3/3 → 3/3. the existing inline-chart guard passed 2/3; the other sample reached html_preview but exhausted the step limit before html_render. all three avoided save_chart. full-suite and claude evals remain unverified.
• fresh real-client checks used system chrome with playwright and actual luna turns through the dev server. both main and this head opened the notes page, but the default host browser returned document.modelContext: undefined; neither wrote a note, and both closed their tabs. native writes and successful before/after client evidence remain unverified under these defaults. the original packaged recordings are retained.
• two independent final-head reviews requested no code changes. maintainer approval of the policy change remains outstanding.

all ci checks finished: 29 passed, three failed. build/typecheck and server shard 6 fail on undefined fakeProvider in apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestService.test.ts:2207 and :2244; the aggregate check follows those failures. those references also exist on current main 0a455d7258, and this pr does not change that file. leaving that repair outside this takeover.

waiting on the main repair, native-client verification, and maintainer approval. no replacement pr, labels, closure, or merge. task-owned services and the blacksmith worker are stopped.

merged current github/main (32ecd71726fe) into the original head without conflicts or rebasing. pushed 24a6c141fb34ab1e3940faa9d3b1a76989edc7a0 to issue-watch/26471; github and git.cafe both have this head. no additional source changes or labels.

blacksmith vp run check:changed passed: 420 tests, 25 affected package typechecks, format, lint, knip, and graphql. the previously failing PullRequestService.test.ts also passed all 107 tests after main's repair. two independent source reviews found no code findings. github reports no unresolved review threads.

fresh ci is pending. native-client writes remain unverified: this vm's system chrome 151 exposes no document.modelContext under its default launch settings. the prior paired model evals remain the available behavior evidence. maintainer approval of the policy change remains outstanding. task-owned dev servers and the blacksmith worker are stopped.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified exact head 24a6c141fb34ab1e3940faa9d3b1a76989edc7a0 against github/main at 1da41f9499, using separate installs and isolated state, one background dev server at a time. drove the real web client with repository playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome, using actual codex gpt-6.1-sol turns. a real turn built the disk-backed notes app in its own git repository; projects, threads, and notes were created through the clients. no mocks, polyfills, seeded data, injected responses, or direct database writes.

• main: native webmcp was active, but sol refused the requested note because preview_evaluate explicitly prohibited creating or saving. zero notes and zero native writes remained.
• pr: the identical initial request called native create_note and persisted exactly one Groceries note with body milk, eggs, bread. reloading the page through the t3 browser panel returned the saved note.
• read guard: after adding a duplicate through the actual notes form, asking whether duplicates existed called only native list_notes. sol reported both notes and changed neither.
• requested deletion: only after an explicit request, native delete_note removed the named duplicate. a subsequent native list_notes confirmed the original remained.

the working runs used system chrome 151.0.7922.108 as the native preview host through an isolated launcher with --enable-features=WebMCP --enable-blink-features=WebMCP, on both branches. no tracked source was changed. the 18-second continuous clip shows the requested note appearing; the after screenshot shows it after reload.

runtime command transcript and callback audit

blacksmith vp i --frozen-lockfile and vp run check:changed 32ecd71726fee16f335484c1f95cbce126d461f6 passed: 420 tests in four files, 25 package typechecks, format, lint, knip, and graphql. the worker initially lacked the merge-base history; fetching the branch history resolved that setup failure. all 32 reported pr checks passed. no fixes, commits, pushes, labels, or pr-body changes were needed.

Not verified

flag-free native writes: both default system chrome and the downloaded chrome 156 host exposed no document.modelContext; enabling native webmcp was required. this verifies the changed policy when that browser capability exists, not default browser availability.

native ios/android, packaged desktop, macos/windows, remote/relay/tunnel connections, other providers/models, external sites, and inline-chart/dashboard-save behavior were not exercised in this linux web-client pass. no claim that every model turn will succeed.

media rendering: git.cafe sanitizes the external image/video embeds into links. i reopened the comment and checked this; the uploaded images and video themselves were inspected, including complete video playback.

merged github/main at 6d4633647694 into the existing head without rebasing and pushed 9bc545b4faa8b15bec651859a7d790938f815fda without force. resolved three conflicts by preserving requested WebMCP writes, main's requested browser-recording guidance, and both sets of eval cases. adjusted the context budget for the combined instructions. the diff remains seven files, 405 additions and eight deletions.

blacksmith vp run check:changed github/main passed: 420 tests in four files, all 25 affected package typechecks, format, lint, knip and graphql. two independent source reviewers approved this exact head. github reports mergeable; fresh ci is pending. no unresolved review threads were present, and no new source fixes were needed.

real-client/provider checks and model evals were not rerun in this merge-only pass. existing native WebMCP evidence remains in the earlier comment. human approval of the policy change remains outstanding.
