- Around line 592-593: Update RefreshClientTools in both live and per-call
branches to inspect the boolean result from writeBackDiscoveredTools; when
write-back is rejected as stale, return the current ToolMap count instead of
len(tools), while preserving len(tools) for successful writes.
In `@docs/openapi/paths/management/mcp.yaml`:
- Around line 329-331: Add the missing POST /api/mcp/client/{id}/refresh-tools
entry to the MCP group in docs/docs.json, using the exact refresh-tools label
and matching the existing navigation structure. Preserve the existing OpenAPI
operationId refreshMCPClientTools.
In `@transports/bifrost-http/server/server.go`:
- Line 384: Update RefreshClientTools to recover persisted clients when the
runtime entry is missing: use s.Config.GetMCPClient, re-register it via
s.Client.AddMCPClient, synchronize with s.MCPServerHandler.SyncMCPServer, then
refresh tools and return the tool count, mirroring ReconnectMCPClient. Add a
regression test covering initial registration failure followed by successful
recovery and refresh.

Summary
Operators who change a tool on an upstream MCP server previously had no on-demand way to make Bifrost pick it up — they had to wait for the periodic connection checker's tool-sync interval (10 minutes by default) or restart the gateway. For per-call clients (any per-user auth type, or any shared HTTP client without session stickiness), the situation was worse:
ReconnectClientrejects those outright since they hold no persistent connection, leaving them with no refresh path at all until the next checker tick.This PR adds
POST /api/mcp/client/{id}/refresh-tools, which re-discovers a client's tools from its upstream server immediately and persists the result through the same tools-change callback every other discovery path uses.Changes
RefreshClientToolsonMCPManager: three discovery shapes mirroring the connection checker's own branches — tools/list over a live connection for sticky clients, an ephemeral connect-discover-close cycle for per-call clients, and a full reconnect for sticky clients whose connection is currently down. Returns the number of tools the client is serving after the refresh.writeBackDiscoveredToolsextracted toMCPManager: the generation-guarded write-back that was previously private toClientConnectionCheckeris now a method on the manager, shared by both the periodic checker and the new on-demand path. The checker's ownwriteBackToolsmethod is removed.needs_reauth, andpending_verificationclients are rejected withErrMCPRefreshNotApplicable(mapped to HTTP 400). Thepending_verificationguard is particularly important fortoken_exchangeclients, where a refresh would silently succeed and bypass the one-time admin verification flow by persisting tools before the admin has confirmed them.ErrMCPClientNotFoundandErrMCPRefreshNotApplicableadded toschemas/mcp.goso HTTP handlers can map them to 404 and 400 respectively without string matching.POST /api/mcp/client/{id}/refresh-toolsregistered in the MCP handler, with appropriate error mapping and atool_countfield in the success response.refreshtools_test.gocovers per-call rediscovery, sticky live-connection relisting, tools-change callback firing (and non-firing on unchanged sets), unknown client errors, awaiting-admin-verification refusal across all four applicable auth types, and disabled/needs-reauth refusal.Type of change

How to test
go test ./core/mcp/... ./transports/bifrost-http/...To exercise the endpoint end-to-end:
POST /api/mcp/client/{id}/refresh-tools— the response should include the updatedtool_countand the new tool should appear in subsequent tool listings without waiting for the sync interval.needs_session_stickiness) to confirm it works wherereconnectwould have returned an error.Breaking changes

Closes #6885
Security considerations
The endpoint is gated behind
ManagementBearerAuth(same as reconnect and all other management operations). No credentials or secrets are exposed; the handler only triggers a tools/list against an already-configured upstream connection.Checklist
