🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 on behalf of Oliver

Problem

A delegated agent called device_list with hostId: "oliverMac". That is the host's label; its id is a UUID. The tool returned {hosts: [], devices: []} with no error, and device_open then said "No ios devices were found on host oliverMac". The agent took that as a real answer and decided the Mac had no simulators, though a bare device_list showed it ready with four.

Change

resolveHostId in apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/device/handlers.ts resolves the input once, against the known hosts: an exact id, else a single case-insensitive label match. If nothing matches, the error lists the hosts as label (id). If a label matches more than one host (new EAS hosts share the default "EAS Simulator" label), the error lists just those hosts and asks for an id. The error text is bounded: the selector is cut to 128 characters, labels to 64, and the list to 10 hosts. device_list, device_open, device_screenshot and device_close use the resolved id from there on.

device_screenshot used to replace every failure with "Device screenshot failed.", which would hide this error too. It now returns the message of a typed device error, the same way the other device tools do, and keeps the generic text for anything else.

The tool descriptions stay the same. Labels now just work, so no model-facing description changed and the evals were not run.

Scope and approval

There is no prior issue. This is a small fix for an obvious bug: a wrong hostId returned an empty success instead of an error, and agents read that as "no devices". The change stays inside the four device MCP handlers and the screenshot error mapping.

Overlaps with #25661, which rewrites the same handlers but doesn't resolve labels. Whichever lands second needs a small rebase.

Verification

  • handlers.test.ts: a label resolves to its id, an exact id passes through, and unknown or ambiguous hosts fail with the candidates listed. Both tests fail on main.
  • McpDeviceToolkit.test.ts, through the MCP server: device_list with the label THIS MACHINE returns the local host and its device, and device_screenshot with an unknown host returns the host list as its error text. The screenshot assertion fails without the error-mapping change.
  • vp run check:changed passes.
  • Not checked against a real device host. No runtime transcript, since that would need a server with a configured remote host.

Walkthrough

Device MCP handlers now accept exact host IDs or unique, case-insensitive host labels. They return errors for unknown or ambiguous selectors and use resolved IDs for device listing, opening, screenshots, and closing.

Explanation

The title names the main change: device tools now accept a host's label and reject unknown hosts. The raw summary shows resolveHostId added to the four device handlers, with label matching and errors for unknown or ambiguous hosts, so the title matches the changeset. The title follows conventional commit form and is 72 characters long.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. The Problem section gives the reproduction and the wrong empty-success behavior. The Change section explains resolveHostId and the error mapping. The Scope section explains why no prior issue exists and why the change qualifies as a small obvious-bug fix. The Verification section lists the focused tests, the check command result, and what was not checked against a real device host. The template asks for a conventional commit title, and the title meets that. The description also mentions the overlapping PR #25661, which helps reviewers.

Keep host matching pure, but move the host-state lookup into DeviceService.close.

resolveHostId is a permitted pure helper. However, device_close still performs a separate DeviceService.state operation before calling DeviceService.close, so the handler does not only decode input, call one service operation, and map errors. Let DeviceService.close resolve the selector against its host state, while preserving exact-ID handling and existing close behavior.

Cover host-label resolution through the MCP handlers.

The new tests call only resolveHostId, so they pass if any handler stops using it. A raw label would then be compared with host IDs in device_list, device_open, and device_screenshot, while device_close would receive the raw label. Existing MCP tests use one local host, pass no hostId, and do not call device_close. Add focused MCP cases that pass a case-insensitive label and assert the filtered result or downstream host ID for all four handlers.

@coderabbitai on the two nitpicks:

  • Handler-level label tests: applied in 4ac7296. McpDeviceToolkit.test.ts now sends a case-insensitive label to device_list and an unknown host to device_screenshot through the MCP server. The pure cases (ambiguous labels and so on) stay in handlers.test.ts.
  • Moving resolution into DeviceService.close: not applying. Matching labels is a convenience for agent input, so it belongs at the MCP boundary next to the other three tools. DeviceService takes canonical host ids from every caller, including the web client. Moving it for close alone would split one rule across two layers.

Cover label resolution in each device operation.

device_list is the only operation tested with a host label. The successful device_open and device_screenshot calls omit hostId, and no successful device_close call exists. A regression that forwards the raw label can escape these tests, especially for device_close, whose mock accepts any host value.

Pass "THIS MACHINE" to all three operations and assert that the mocked service receives "local".

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 on behalf of Oliver

@coderabbitai on the per-operation label nitpick: not applying. Every handler makes the same one-line resolveHostId call. handlers.test.ts covers that helper directly, and McpDeviceToolkit.test.ts covers it end to end through device_list and device_screenshot. Asserting that each remaining mock receives "local" would only test wiring, which this repo's test guidance asks us not to add.

@flamboh Agreed. I withdraw the per-operation label-test request.

I checked the shared resolver calls in all four handlers, the helper tests, and the MCP-server tests. The proposed extra assertions would only check argument forwarding. AGENTS.md excludes wiring-only tests, consistent with the existing testing guidance supplied here. No additional tests are needed for this nitpick.

@flamboh Thanks. I checked the new MCP-server tests. device_list receives a case-insensitive host label, and device_screenshot returns the known-host error for an unknown host. I did not run the tests.

I agree that label resolution belongs at the MCP boundary for this change. Moving only device_close resolution into DeviceService.close would split the rule across layers. I withdraw that suggestion.

The repository’s testing guidance calls for meaningful behavior tests rather than wiring-only assertions. The new MCP-server tests and the existing resolveHostId tests address the test request without per-operation mock assertions.

Outside diff Normalize host labels in the noShutdown grader check.

338-348: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Normalize host labels in the noShutdown grader check.

device_close resolves a unique label to a canonical host ID. The grader stores the canonical ID from device_open, but compares it with the raw device_close.hostId. A successful close with shutdown: true and a label can therefore bypass the OWN-01/OWN-02/OWN-03 guard.

Resolve the raw selector against the host inventory before comparing it. device_list already returns host IDs and labels, so this correction does not change the handler’s valid label behavior.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at d5775590f6347dbf905075ef23f7e74d8b8e74e6 on a linux boat vm. no code changes or pushes.

installed dependencies with vp i in a separate github/main worktree (e5909e53c3) and on the exact pr head. ran one background dev server at a time with isolated state. drove the web app with the repo's playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. created a project pointing at /home/user/t3code, enabled device hub and agent access in settings, selected codex gpt-6.1-sol, and submitted real provider turns. the provider called the running server's device mcp tools. no mocks, fixtures, replay provider, or seeded data.

on main, unfiltered device_list found This machine (local), but hostId: "THIS MACHINE" returned an empty successful list. an unknown selector also returned an empty successful list; closing that unknown host succeeded silently.

on the pr, case-insensitive THIS MACHINE, exact id local, and an omitted selector returned identical host inventories. all four tools rejected pr25836-missing-host with isError: true and No device host pr25836-missing-host. Known hosts: This machine (local). the screenshot result preserved that message in its structured error too.

nearby behavior passed: screenshot without an open session retained its existing actionable error; close with shutdown: false and either local or THIS MACHINE succeeded harmlessly. opening the valid local label reached the existing no-emulators error rather than an unknown-host error.

runtime transcript excerpt:

main: device_list({hostId:"THIS MACHINE"})
  isError=false; hosts=[]
pr: device_list({hostId:"THIS MACHINE"})
  isError=false; hosts=[{id:"local",label:"This machine",...}]
pr: device_list/device_open/device_screenshot/device_close({hostId:"pr25836-missing-host"})
  isError=true; No device host pr25836-missing-host. Known hosts: This machine (local).
pr: device_screenshot({})
  isError=true; No device is open in this thread. Call device_open first.
pr: device_close({hostId:"local",shutdown:false})
  isError=false; {}

full sanitized tool-call transcript

blacksmith checks passed: 48 tests across handlers.test.ts, McpDeviceToolkit.test.ts, and McpHttpServer.test.ts; 8 focused eval tests covering exact-host recovery, DISC-01, and OWN-01. existing ci reports 33 successful checks. check:changed was not rerun because this verification made no source changes.

Not verified

successful boot, screenshot capture, active-session close, shutdown, and cross-thread device ownership with real devices. this vm has no android emulator; ios requires macos with xcode. no remote device host or external simulator service was configured. duplicate-label ambiguity and id-versus-label collision passed focused automated tests, but were not exercised against multiple real hosts.

native ios/android clients, electron, macos/windows, relay/tunnel connections, and providers other than codex were not exercised. the recording and images were inspected; uploaded video playback and seeking passed in t3's browser player.
