From 6d3088bcfc89bb829329b92292507dcf590fbaf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sushant Poudel Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 15:30:36 +0545 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(mcp): refuse MCP server tools that use reserved framework names In-model built-ins (google_search, google_maps, url_context, vertex_ai_search, code_execution) append only to the request's config tools and never occupy their name in the tool map, so the duplicate-name guard in LlmRequest.Builder.appendTools never sees them. A server advertising one of those names was therefore accepted and won dispatch in place of the framework's own tool. A server tool named set_model_response also aborted the whole run. Refuse reserved names when McpToolset loads server tools.

A server advertising either name was refused as a collision against a tool this framework does not have. `load_memory` was also wrong, in the other direction. This port names the tool from the method name: LoadMemoryTool#loadMemory carries no @Annotations.Schema, only its parameter does, and FunctionTool falls back to func.getName(). So the wire name here is `loadMemory`, not the `load_memory` the other ports use, and the guard was not watching for it. The set is now the nine names verified in this codebase, and the javadoc records both corrections and the derivation for `loadMemory` so the next person does not have to re-derive it. Tests: `getTools_refusesDerivedLoadMemoryName` pins the corrected spelling, and `getTools_acceptsNamesOtherPortsDefineButThisOneDoesNot` pins the inverse — the three names from the other ports must be accepted, because refusing them reports a collision against a tool this framework does not have. Both guards reverted and re-run: - adding "finish_task" back fails the accepted-names test - reverting McpToolset.java to origin/main fails both refusal tests with `No errors (latch = 0, values = 1, errors = 0, completions = 1)` 25 tests in the class pass, google-java-format 1.27.0 reports 0 non-complying. --- .../com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java | 15 ++++- .../google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolsetTest.java | 58 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 70 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java b/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java index c6e470dc8..e40a6204a 100644 --- a/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java +++ b/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java @@ -65,20 +65,29 @@ public class McpToolset implements BaseToolset { * google_maps, ...) only append to the request's config tools and never occupy their name in the * tool map, so a server advertising one of these would be dispatched in place of the framework's * own tool.

All four are present in the Java sources: `ExitLoopTool` declares `exit_loop`, `ListSkillsTool` and `LoadSkillTool` pass theirs to `super(...)`, and `LoadSkillResourceTool` is registered alongside them. They were missed because the set had been assembled from names reported one at a time rather than from what the framework declares. The new test iterates all eight reserved names instead of pinning one, which is the shape that would have caught this. Reverted and re-run: deleting "exit_loop" fails it with `No errors (latch = 0, values = 1, errors = 0, completions = 1)`. Test count 25 -> 26; google-java-format 1.27.0 reports 0 non-complying. This is the second correction to this list. The reason is the approach rather than either edit: a hand-maintained enumeration ships a snapshot that the next tool addition invalidates. Making the in-model tools occupy their name would let the existing duplicate-name guard apply and would not need maintaining. --- .../com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java | 6 +++- .../google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolsetTest.java | 34 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java b/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java index e40a6204a..67a81bb4e 100644 --- a/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java +++ b/core/src/main/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolset.java @@ -87,7 +87,11 @@ public class McpToolset implements BaseToolset { "vertex_ai_search", "code_execution", "load_artifacts", - "loadMemory"); + "loadMemory", + "exit_loop", + "list_skills", + "load_skill", + "load_skill_resource"); private static final long RETRY_DELAY_MILLIS = 100; protected static final Class CONFIG_TYPE = McpToolsetConfig.class; diff --git a/core/src/test/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolsetTest.java b/core/src/test/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolsetTest.java index ad0bea8d4..8fee03d9f 100644 --- a/core/src/test/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolsetTest.java +++ b/core/src/test/java/com/google/adk/tools/mcp/McpToolsetTest.java @@ -390,6 +390,40 @@ public void getTools_refusesDerivedLoadMemoryName() { .assertError(McpToolsetException.McpToolLoadingException.class); } + @Test + public void getTools_refusesEveryReservedName() { + // The set had been assembled from names reported one at a time, so each fix + // left the rest.
