fix(server): MCP clients see the descriptions on title and clientRequestId - #35079
The descriptions for t3_thread_update's title/clientRequestId and the orchestrator tools' clientRequestId were set with .annotate() on schemas built from TrimmedNonEmptyString. That schema is a trim transformation, so the description only reached the decoded side, and tools/list (built from the encoded JSON schema) showed a bare {"type":"string"}. I confirmed this with a probe on toJsonSchemaDocument and with the repro tests failing. The fix moves each description onto the optional field (Schema.optional(X).annotate(...)), which the encoded JSON schema keeps. The repo already describes optional fields this way, e.g. requestedAccess. In threadMetadataMcp.ts this is done inline on the title and clientRequestId fields. In orchestratorMcp.ts a new exported OrchestratorMcpOptionalClientRequestId carries the description and replaces Schema.optional(OrchestratorMcpClientRequestId) at all 8 uses: 7 in contracts plus t3_thread_launch in apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/project/tools.ts. request_secret keeps its own outer 'Retry key.' description. I tried Schema.annotateEncoded first; it put the description inside the anyOf rather than on the property. The restored text adds 765 bytes to the advertised tool list, so I set mcpToolListJsonBytes in agentContextBudget.json from 48131 to its measured value, 48896. No new regex or parser.

Tests
vp test run src/orchestratorMcp.test.ts src/threadMetadataMcp.test.ts (packages/contracts): failed before the fix, 5/5 pass after. vp test run src/provider/AgentContextBudget.test.ts src/mcp (apps/server): 369/370 pass; the one failure was the budget test, which passes after setting mcpToolListJsonBytes to the measured 48896. vp run check:changed: lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (37 packages) and tests (3 files) passed; format failed on the two contracts files, which I fixed with vp fmt and checked again with vp fmt --check, and the pre-commit fmt, lint and knip hooks passed. Model evals (evals/mcp-tool-use) not run: the wording is unchanged, the fix only lets it reach clients.
Not in this change
Other descriptions dropped the same way (inner .annotate on a trimmed or branded type wrapped in Schema.optional, e.g. pull-request tool threadId/repository/host and device ids), which PR fix(mcp): agents see the parameter descriptions written for T3 tools #23285 restores behind its own context-budget decision.
Model evals for the restored clientRequestId/title descriptions were not run.

The descriptions sat on trimmed-string transformations, so they only reached
the decoded side and tools/list advertised a bare string. Describe the optional
fields instead, which the encoded JSON schema keeps.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This makes MCP field descriptions visible without changing input validation. The additional 765 bytes of tool context still need a maintainer’s budget-growth decision; the required acceptance label is absent.

Walkthrough
The change moves MCP parameter descriptions to optional input fields, adds tests for encoded JSON schemas, and updates the project thread-launch tool to use the shared optional client request ID schema.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to a4325
The change restores missing MCP parameter descriptions, but it grows the advertised tool list by 765 bytes. The agent-context budget check may require maintainer approval or a text reduction, and the recorded byte count may be off by one. Confirm the budget check passes before merging.

Explanation
The title names the fix and the user-visible symptom: MCP clients now see the descriptions on the title and clientRequestId fields. The changeset moves those descriptions onto the optional fields in the contracts (threadMetadataMcp.ts and orchestratorMcp.ts), so the title covers the main change. It does not mention the new OrchestratorMcpOptionalClientRequestId schema or the byte-budget update, which is acceptable because a title need not cover every detail.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and it links issue #35015 as the bug report. It gives a root cause, the exact fix, a reproduction on main with commit and tool-list output, and focused test results. Gaps: the Evidence section is still a placeholder (before/after capture is pending), and the Scope section does not state that a maintainer requested the change. The author also says model evals were not run. These gaps are minor, so the description is mostly complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #35015 requires three descriptions in the advertised tool schema: t3_thread_update title ("New concise display title. Required only when action is rename."), t3_thread_update clientRequestId ("Stable idempotency key to reuse when retrying this mutation."), and the clientRequestId of delegate_task and t3_thread_send ("Reuse it to retry the same call. A new call gets a new key."). The whole-PR diff at the reviewed head confirms the code path. In packages/contracts/src/threadMetadataMcp.ts, the trimmed schemas no longer carry descriptions. ThreadMetadataMcpUpdateInput attaches the title and clientRequestId descriptions to Schema.optional(...).annotate(...). In packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts, the new exported OrchestratorMcpOptionalClientRequestId carries the retry description on the optional field. Seven contract inputs use it: DelegateTask, TaskCancel, CreateThreads, ThreadSend, ThreadInterrupt, ScheduleTask, and EnvironmentLink. The fix therefore applies to the encoded side, which is where tools/list reads. The project toolkit t3_thread_launch use is covered in the changed-files summary; its tools.ts diff was not re-read in this review. Test results were not re-run; the PR reports the new contracts tests pass 5/5. The empty Evidence section in the PR description is non-coding and does not affect this verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changes connect to the requested descriptions. threadMetadataMcp.ts and its test implement the t3_thread_update requirements. orchestratorMcp.ts and its test move the shared clientRequestId description onto an optional schema used by delegate_task and t3_thread_send. The other six contract inputs use the same shared schema, so their description change follows from the same refactor. The t3_thread_launch change in apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/project/tools.ts uses the same shared schema and is a direct consequence of that refactor. agentContextBudget.json raises mcpToolListJsonBytes to match the advertised byte increase from the restored descriptions. The PR excludes other dropped descriptions, and the diff does not include them. No unrelated change is evident in the reviewed diffs.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
these checks fail on a4325f2, also when run again: Agent context budget, and the rework changed nothing:
No code change. The Agent context budget failure reproduces locally with the check's own jq comparison: mcpToolListJsonBytes 48130 -> 48895 (+765). The 765 bytes are exactly the parameter descriptions that already exist in the source and that the bug kept out of tools/list: the clientRequestId description (76 bytes) on 8 tools = 608, the thread-metadata title description = 80, and the thread-metadata clientRequestId description = 77. Main's 48130 baseline was measured while those descriptions were being dropped. The check fails on any growth over main, so shortening the descriptions would not pass it. Passing would mean deleting the descriptions, which reverts the fix, or cutting unrelated tool text, which is outside this issue and needs evals. None of the growth comes from a case beyond the reported bug, so there is nothing to narrow. A maintainer needs to add the agent-context-increase label, which is the workflow's documented way to accept deliberate growth.
