TL;DR

MCP tool logs render raw UUIDs where LLM logs render names. This gives mcp_tool_logs the same attribution shape the logs table has: every governance id gets a name column beside it, written from the request context at ingestion, with nothing resolved on read.

A log from the dashboard today, which is what prompted this:

"user_id": "eb393d61-…",  "team_id": "570c2a33-…",
"virtual_key_id": null, "customer_id": null, "business_unit_id": null, "project_id": null

What changed?

  • MCPToolLog gains twelve columns via migrationAddMCPGovernanceSnapshots. user_name, team_name, customer_name and business_unit_name stop being gorm:"-" transients and become storage. team_ids/team_names, customer_ids/customer_names, business_unit_ids/business_unit_names are the multi-valued sets the logs table already keeps, stored as JSON arrays and read back index-aligned. budget_ids and rate_limit_ids are the remaining governance ids logs records, and are id-only there too.
  • New framework/logstore/governance.go holds MCPToolLog.ApplyGovernanceContext, the one place that reads the context and writes the row. It lives on the struct rather than in the logging plugin because three callers across two repos need it: the logging plugin, the enterprise inspect builder, and the enterprise agent ingest handler.
  • applyMCPGovernanceFieldsToEntry collapses onto it, and the duplicate virtual key stamping either side of its two call sites goes away.
  • PostMCPHook in the governance plugin stamps BifrostContextKeyGovernanceBudgetIDs and ...RateLimitIDs from the budgets, rateLimits pair it already computes for UsageUpdate. PostLLMHook has always done this; without it the two new columns would always be null.
  • MCPToolLogEntry in the UI types gains the array fields. No component changes: AttributionCell already renders name-first with an id fallback, and already handles plural arrays.

Two rules are encoded in ApplyGovernanceContext and pinned by tests. A dimension the context does not carry leaves what is already recorded alone, so a later hook stamping a partial identity cannot blank what an earlier one knew. Changing an id clears the name beside it, because an id wearing another entity's name is worse than an id with no name.

How to test?

  1. go test ./framework/logstore/ ./plugins/logging/ ./plugins/governance/ and go test ./transports/bifrost-http/handlers/. New coverage: TestApplyGovernanceContext* (five cases), TestMCPToolLogGovernanceSetsRoundTrip, TestMCPToolLogGovernanceSetsTolerateCorruptJSON, TestMigrationAddMCPGovernanceSnapshots, TestMCPGovernanceSnapshotsMigrationIsRegistered, TestPostMCPHook_RecordsAccountedLimitIDs.
  2. Start against an empty logs database and confirm mcp_tool_logs is created with all twelve columns, then boot again to confirm the migration is a no-op.
  3. Drive a gateway MCP tool call and read GET /api/mcp-logs. The row should carry user_name, team_name and customer_name, with team_names populated for a user in more than one team.

Why make this change?

Resolving names on every read was per-request work to answer a question the request itself had already answered. It also produced a different answer over time: a renamed team changed what an old log said about a call made before the rename, while the LLM log sitting next to it kept the original. Recording the name with the id fixes both. The row says what the entity was called when the call was made, and says it without a lookup.

Notes

The migration adds structure only. Rows written before it keep their bare ids, and nothing backfills them. The enterprise side resolves those at runtime on the single-log detail read, so a historical row is still readable where someone is actually reading it.

Type of change

  • Feature
  • Database migration

Affected areas

  • Core (Go)
  • UI (React)

MCP tool logs showed raw UUIDs where LLM logs show names. The logs table
denormalizes every governance id with a name column beside it, written from
the request context at ingestion. mcp_tool_logs did it two ways at once:
virtual key and project names were real columns, while user, team, customer
and business unit names were transients resolved against the governance cache
after every read.

Give the tool log the same shape. Twelve new columns hold the four scalar
names, the multi-valued team, customer and business unit sets, and the budget
and rate limit ids the logs table already records.
MCPToolLog.ApplyGovernanceContext writes all of it in one place, so the
gateway path and the enterprise inspect and ingest paths stamp identically.

Two rules keep the snapshot honest. A dimension the context does not carry
leaves what is already recorded alone, so a later hook stamping a partial
identity cannot blank what an earlier one knew. Changing an id clears the name
beside it, because an id wearing another entity's name reads as corrupt
attribution rather than a gap.

PostMCPHook now leaves behind the budget and rate limit ids it already
computes for usage tracking, matching PostLLMHook. Without them the two new
columns would always be null.

The migration adds structure only. Rows written before it keep their bare ids.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • MCP tool logs now retain governance attribution for teams, customers, business units, budgets, and rate limits.
    • Attribution supports multiple teams, customers, and business units, including names and IDs.
    • MCP usage tracking records associated budget and rate-limit details.
    • Log views display filterable governance links and details with helpful labels and ID tooltips.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Governance information remains consistent when entries are created or updated, including when context is unavailable or incomplete.
    • Invalid attribution data no longer prevents log details from loading.

Walkthrough

MCP governance identifiers and names now flow through BifrostContext into MCPToolLog. Logstore migrations and JSON serialization persist the snapshots. MCP hooks and UI rendering support budget, rate-limit, and multi-valued attribution fields.

Changes

MCP governance attribution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Governance context capture
framework/logstore/governance.go, framework/logstore/governance_test.go
Added ApplyGovernanceContext for scalar governance fields and aligned team, customer, and business-unit collections. The method preserves existing values when context fields are absent, clears names when IDs change, copies slices, and handles nil inputs.
Logstore governance persistence
framework/logstore/tables.go, framework/logstore/migrations.go, framework/logstore/*_test.go
Added persisted governance snapshot columns, migration and rollback support, JSON serialization and deserialization, malformed-JSON handling, and round-trip tests.
MCP hook and logging integration
plugins/governance/main.go, plugins/governance/mcp_test.go, plugins/logging/main.go
Post-hook accounting records settled budget and rate-limit IDs in BifrostContext. MCP logging applies the centralized governance helper during pre-hook entry creation and post-hook updates.
MCP governance UI rendering
ui/lib/types/logs.ts, ui/app/workspace/mcp-logs/views/columns.tsx, ui/app/workspace/mcp-logs/views/mcpLogDetailsSheet.tsx
Added plural governance fields and rendered multiple attribution links with individual filters and identifier tooltips.

Twelve ALTER TABLEs on a table under continuous write can each sit behind a

Matches what the other column migrations on this table do.

Assert settled governance IDs across the PostMCPHook persistence path

TestPostMCPHook_RecordsAccountedLimitIDs only checks the context. TestMCPHooksPersistPluginLogs exercises PostMCPHook and reads the persisted log, but it does not set or assert settled budget and rate-limit IDs. Extend that test, or add a focused equivalent, to assert both IDs after serialization and deserialization.

The table and detail sheet only ever read the scalar id/name, so a row with
more than one team, customer or business unit showed just the first. The LLM
logs table and detail sheet already handle this: AttributionCell renders the
plural names when present, falling back to the scalar, and the detail sheet
links each value individually with a pluralized label and filter.

Table: pass names/ids through to AttributionCell for team, customer and
business unit, matching columns.tsx for logs. No change needed for user or
project, which have no plural columns on MCPToolLog.

Detail sheet: scopeLinks now resolves each dimension to a list of items
(plural source when present, scalar fallback otherwise) instead of a single
id/name pair, and renders one link per item with a comma separator and a
pluralized label, matching logDetailView.tsx's team/customer/business-unit
blocks. User, project and device keep their existing single-value rendering
through the same code path, since their plural slots are always empty.
