Closes #120.

One action was reachable under one name on the wire and published under a different name in openapi.json. An agent handed the published contract called publish_post; the server answered tool-not-found.

The split

Surface Site Name for publishPost
served — the only name tools/call accepts packages/mcp/src/projectable.ts:44 → from-action.ts:74 publishPost
.tool().name packages/action/src/mcp-tool.ts:39 publish_post
openapi.json x-ultimate.mcpTool packages/action/src/http.ts:160 publish_post
describeAction().mcp.tool packages/action/src/action.ts:359 publish_post
toQueryTool().name — not in the issue packages/query/src/mcp-tool.ts:42 live_feed

The served side was already correct — it is what defineAppMcp's scopes: map is keyed on — so the four publishers were the wrong ones. toToolName is deleted from both packages, not deprecated: an exported name-deriver is a second way to spell one tool, and axiom 1 forbids a second path.

Three corrections to the issue as filed

Each came from checking rather than reading, and each made the change smaller or more accurate than the ticket implied.

  1. Queries had the identical split. mcp: the served tool name and the published tool name are different, so openapi.json and x.manifest.json advertise a tool nothing answers #120 named only actions. Found while grounding the brief.
  2. x.manifest.json never carried a tool name. ActionFact.mcp is { expose, description? } (packages/manifest/src/schema.ts:85); both committed manifests have zero "tool" keys — confirmed independently when regenerating them produced no diff. The third publisher is the descriptor, read by x actions describe, x actions list, the actions.describe dev tool and the /_x Routes panel. The wrong word had propagated into five files before it was caught.
  3. Nothing an app serves is renamed. toMcpTools/toQueryTools have no framework consumer and @ultimat3/ai already passed the name through verbatim. What changes is what an app publishes — 15 of 17 names across the two tracked apps. The changelog entry says that, not the dramatic version.

Enforced at two levels, because one is not enough

packages/mcp/src/cross-surface.test.ts is the only place that can compare the two sides: nothing at tier 3 can see what tier 4 serves. It reads tools/list, then drives tools/call with the exact string openapi.json published and asserts it is not -32601.

But it lives at tier 4, and action/query are tier 3 and cannot import it — so its failure arrives in a package the author does not own, as expect([...]).toContain("archive_order"). That is a puzzle, not an instruction. Each package therefore also pins the rule in its own index.test.ts, where the edit is made.

Every new assertion was watched failing first

Two are subtler than they look, and both were caught by the agents that wrote them:

  • The cross-surface set-equality check alone would have passed on the old behaviour — all three surfaces agreed on the wrong name. The verbatim comparison is the load-bearing half; the set check earns its place by catching a partial regression (verified by mutating action.ts to tool: \${name}X``).
  • An exact toToolName denylist is defeated by renaming the deriver, so the query pin also greps /tool_?name/i and the structural assertion (tool().name === registeredName) is what actually holds under any name.

Mutation-tested: the snake_case derivation was reintroduced in describeAction, a toToolName export re-added, and the served side broken via projectable.ts — each failed the expected pins, each reverted.

Corrected along the way

  • Five instances of "the tool calls action.run(...)". An action facade has no .run — that member belongs to the projection seam, and the real entry point is invoke. The sentence's point (tool and HTTP route share one entry) was right; only the name was wrong.
  • A README diagram showing POST /api/publishPost — a path derivePath has never produced (it gives /api/posts/publish).
  • job-handle.ts's claim that @ultimat3/jobs consumes its shape. It cannot: isJobHandle requires membership of a module-private WeakMap no external object can join. And tenant/retry have no defaults by design, so the promised "zero rewriting" was unreachable by construction. Comments only, no runtime change → action/jobs: .job() produces a handle nothing can enqueue, and tenant/retry mean nothing ever could #125.
  • The audit's own projection-contract slice re-derived entry by entry: 5 closed, 3 open, 1 void (it claimed normalize() swallows failures; it throws SchemaUnsupportedError). A stale "this is broken" entry sends someone to fix what already works.

Not in this PR

#124 — toLlmTools([publishPost]) cannot typecheck: ProjectableAction requires a run no action has. Real, documented as working, and the fix is a public API addition — a design call, not a naming correction. The README was corrected here to stop implying it works.

Gate

bun run verify                      ✓ 14 of 17, 3 skipped (drift, contract-diff, budgets)
bun run scripts/reference-app-gate  ✓ every pin holds — 11/17 and 15/17, no pin moved
bun run manifest                    417 codes, no drift (no new codes)

Built by four path-disjoint agents in one checkout; the openapi.json regenerations and the gate were the coordinator's.

… were different

An action was reachable under one name on the wire and published under another in
`openapi.json`. `packages/mcp` serves `primitive.mcp?.name ?? primitive.name` — the
export name, verbatim, and the only string `tools/call` accepts. Three action sites and
one query site ran it through `toToolName()` first, so a client generated from the
published contract called `publish_post` and the server answered tool-not-found.

The served side was already right: it is what `defineAppMcp`'s `scopes:` map is keyed on.
So the publishers were the wrong ones, and `toToolName` is deleted from both packages
rather than deprecated — an exported name-deriver is a second way to spell one tool.

BREAKING: `mcpTool` in `openapi.json`, `.tool().name` and `describeAction().mcp.tool` now
carry the verbatim export name. `toToolName` is removed from `@ultimat3/action` and
`@ultimat3/query`. 15 of the 17 published names across both tracked apps change.

Three corrections to the issue as filed, each found by checking rather than reading:

- Queries had the identical split (`toQueryTool().name`); #120 named only actions.
- `x.manifest.json` never carried a tool name at all — `ActionFact.mcp` is
  `{ expose, description? }`. The third publisher is the DESCRIPTOR, read by
  `x actions describe`, `x actions list`, the `actions.describe` dev tool and `/_x`.
  The wrong word had propagated into five files before it was caught.
- Nothing an app SERVES is renamed: `toMcpTools`/`toQueryTools` have no framework
  consumer, and `@ultimat3/ai` already passed the name through. What changes is what an
  app publishes.

Enforced at two levels, because one was not enough. `packages/mcp/src/cross-surface.test.ts`
is the only place that can compare the two sides — it reads `tools/list`, then drives
`tools/call` with the name `openapi.json` published. But it lives at tier 4, and the
packages that can reintroduce the bug are tier 3 and cannot import it, so its failure
would arrive in a package the author does not own. Each of `action` and `query` also pins
the rule in its own `index.test.ts`, where the edit is made.

Every new assertion was watched failing against the old source. Two are stronger than
they look: the cross-surface set-equality check alone would have PASSED before, because
all three surfaces agreed on the wrong name, and an exact `toToolName` denylist is
defeated by renaming the deriver — so the verbatim and structural halves carry the weight.

Also corrected along the way: five claims that the tool "calls `action.run(...)`" (an
action facade has no `.run`; it is `invoke`), a README diagram showing `POST /api/publishPost`
(a path `derivePath` has never produced), and `job-handle.ts`'s claim that `@ultimat3/jobs`
consumes its shape — it cannot, and `tenant`/`retry` having no defaults means the promised
"zero rewriting" was unreachable by construction. Filed as #125.

Fixes #120

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR changes MCP tool names from derived snake_case values to action and query export names verbatim. It updates projections, OpenAPI artifacts, tests, documentation, and public exports. It removes toToolName from action and query packages.

Changes

MCP tool-name unification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Projection naming and public exports
packages/action/src/*, packages/query/src/*
Action and query projections preserve export names. OpenAPI metadata and descriptors use the same names. toToolName is removed from public exports.
Cross-surface MCP validation
packages/mcp/src/cross-surface.test.ts, packages/ai/src/*, packages/mcp/src/from-action.*
Tests compare catalog, descriptor, OpenAPI, action, and query names. The published action name resolves through tools/call.
Published contracts and guidance
CHANGELOG.md, docs/*, packages/*/README.md, wiki/*, examples/dummy/openapi.json, dummy/social-media-clone/openapi.json
Breaking-change guidance and tracked OpenAPI metadata use verbatim export names.
Audit and status records
docs/plans/2026/08/16/101-deep-dive-bug-audit/*, packages/action/src/job-handle.ts, packages/action/CLAUDE.md
Audit status records the MCP naming issue as fixed and documents remaining projection findings. Job-handle documentation is corrected.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c17b4

The PR fixes MCP naming consistency and adds validation, but it also removes public name-deriving exports that may break existing imports, while the breaking-release migration guidance and audit status documentation remain incomplete. Merge should wait for those items or explicit owner acceptance.

- **BREAKING — an MCP tool is named by the export name, verbatim, on every surface. `snake_case`
tool names are gone, and so is `toToolName`.** One primitive was reachable under one name and
published under another. The served name has only ever been the export name —
`packages/mcp/src/from-action.ts:82` is the one name `tools/call` accepts and the one
`defineAppMcp`'s `scopes:` map is keyed on, and `@ultimat3/ai`'s LLM tool list agrees
(`packages/ai/src/tools.ts:72`) — while three *publishers* spelled the same tool
`publish_post`. So an agent handed `openapi.json` read `"mcpTool": "publish_post"`, called
`tools/call { name: "publish_post" }`, and got ToolNotFound: the catalog it was given was the
wrong one. The served side was right, so the publishers moved.

| Was | Now |
|---|---|
| `publishPost.tool().name` → `'publish_post'` | `'publishPost'` |
| `liveFeed.tool().name` → `'live_feed'` | `'liveFeed'` |
| `openapi.json` → `"x-ultimate": { "mcpTool": "publish_post" }` | `"mcpTool": "publishPost"` |
| `publishPost.describe().mcp.tool` → `'publish_post'`, and with it `x actions describe <name> --json`, the `actions.describe` MCP dev tool and the `/_x` **Routes** panel | `'publishPost'` |
| `import { toToolName } from '@ultimat3/action'` / `'@ultimat3/query'` | removed from both — there is no derivation left to call |

**What an app author changes.** Nothing that *worked* moves: a `tools/call`, a `scopes:` entry
and a `visibleTo` list were already spelled verbatim, and a snake_case `scopes:` entry was
already `X_MCP_SCOPE_UNKNOWN` at boot. What moves is everything read off the published contract
— run `x manifest` to regenerate `openapi.json`, and re-point any agent prompt, saved tool
allowlist, generated client or test that took its tool name from `x-ultimate.mcpTool`,
`describe().mcp.tool` or `.tool().name`. **15 committed names change** in the two tracked apps
alone — of 17 published `x-ultimate.mcpTool` values, `examples/dummy` moves 9 of 10 and
`dummy/social-media-clone` 6 of 7; a single-word export (`summarize`, `health`) was already its
own snake_case form and does not move. An app that fed `.tool()` descriptors
into its own MCP host — public API, and the one case where the name was live on a wire — renames
those tools for real. `x.manifest.json` is unaffected: its `mcp` fact is
`{ expose, description }` and never carried a tool name (`packages/manifest/src/schema.ts:85`).
Issue #120.

Make the status note match the audit table.

docs/plans/2026/08/16/101-deep-dive-bug-audit/04-projection-contract.md lists six entries as closed or void, one as mostly closed, and three as open. This note reports seven closed or void entries and omits the mostly closed state. Use the documented date form at the same time.

Use a lockstep major release for these breaking API removals.

The changelog marks removing toToolName from both public barrels as BREAKING. CLAUDE.md requires a major for documented API breaks, and scripts/release.ts versions all 29 packages together. Release the lockstep package set at 2.0.0, or retain both exports through a documented deprecation window.

Applying CodeRabbit's review of this branch. Six of seven were real:

- `packages/action/CLAUDE.md` said all TEN of examples/dummy's published names returned
  ToolNotFound. Nine did. `summarize` is single-word, so it was already its own snake_case
  form — a count of the wrong names is not a count of the rows.
- `packages/mcp/README.md` said the export name IS the tool name. It is the DEFAULT: the
  projection reads `primitive.mcp?.name ?? primitive.name`, so `mcp.name` is an explicit
  override — unreachable from `action()`/`query()`, whose declarations carry no `name`
  field, and available only to a hand-authored `ProjectablePrimitive`. Dated, per house style.
- `job-handle.ts`'s header said "What consumes it: see `ActionJobHandle`" — circular, since
  that is the type being declared. Nothing in the framework consumes it (#125).
- `status.yml` claimed seven entries closed or void; the table says six, plus one mostly
  closed and three open.
- A fenced block had no language tag (MD040).

Rejected one: "add a Migration block or codemod identifier to the BREAKING entry."
`grep -c '^\*\*Migration' CHANGELOG.md` is 0 — no entry has ever used that shape. The entry
already carries a "What an app author changes" paragraph naming `x manifest` and every
surface to re-point, which is what the ~31 other BREAKING entries do.

Applied six of the seven findings in c17b40f — the ten-vs-nine count, the mcp.name override, the circular job-handle.ts sentence, the status.yml arithmetic, the MD040 fence tag, and the date marker. The count one was a good catch: summarize is single-word, so it was already its own snake_case form and was never broken.

Rejecting one, with evidence: the Migration block on the BREAKING entry.

$ grep -c '^\*\*Migration' CHANGELOG.md
0

No entry in this file has ever used a Migration block or a codemod identifier — the convention does not exist here, and there is no codemod infrastructure to name. The ~31 other BREAKING — entries carry migration guidance as prose, and this one already does: a What an app author changes paragraph that names x manifest to regenerate openapi.json, lists every surface to re-point (x-ultimate.mcpTool, describe().mcp.tool, .tool().name), states that nothing which worked moves, and quantifies the blast radius as 15 of 17 committed names across the two tracked apps.

Adding a block the file has no precedent for would make this entry inconsistent with every other one rather than more useful.

Limit the tools/call name claim to the default name.

The text says publishPost is “the only name tools/call accepts.” The current contract also permits an explicit mcp.name override for hand-authored projectable primitives. State that publishPost is the default action export name, not the only accepted name.

Proposed fix
- while `from-action.ts:82` served `publishPost` — the only name `tools/call` accepts.

* Projection 5: an action as durable work — its input schema, a payload-derived
* idempotency key, and an `invoke` that runs the action's one execution path under
* `surface: 'job'`, so a queued run gets the same validation and policy evaluation
* as the HTTP call. Nothing in the framework consumes it — an app bridges it into `job()`.

Describe the job() bridge in the correct direction.

AnyAction.job() returns an ActionJobHandle; the application does not pass a handle “into job()”. Say that the application calls action.job() and connects the returned handle to its job adapter.

Move the date marker outside the code span.

Lines 154-155 make As of 2026-08 look like the tool name. This makes the historical claim ambiguous.

Proposed wording
-`tools:`. The three action publishers snake_cased the
-name `As of 2026-08`, so an agent reading the spec called a tool the catalog never contained and

As per coding guidelines, README files must date load-bearing claims with an As of YYYY-MM marker. Based on learnings, use the current month, As of 2026-08.
