This update added new revisions after undoing existing revisions.
That is to say, some revisions that were in the old version of the
branch are not in the new version. This situation occurs
when a user --force pushes a change and generates a repository
containing something like this:
* -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O (6a88f6a43fa)
\
N -- N -- N refs/heads/mcp-rbac-tool-visibility (094cbf69726)
You should already have received notification emails for all of the O
revisions, and so the following emails describe only the N revisions
from the common base, B.
Any revisions marked "omit" are not gone; other references still
refer to them. Any revisions marked "discard" are gone forever.
The 13 revisions listed above as "new" are entirely new to this
repository and will be described in separate emails. The revisions
listed as "add" were already present in the repository and have only
been added to this reference.

(superset) 10/13: fix(mcp): fix 4 failing unit tests and ruff import error in RBAC tool visibility
Posted by mi...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.
aminghadersohi pushed a commit to branch mcp-rbac-tool-visibility
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/superset.git
commit 842df5ee774fb251a9bc91eaad164baae20e689d
Author: Amin Ghadersohi <am...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed May 20 17:55:27 2026 +0000
fix(mcp): fix 4 failing unit tests and ruff import error in RBAC tool visibility
- Fix ruff error: consolidate contextlib imports into single from-import
- Fix test patch targets: middleware tests must patch middleware module
after imports were promoted to module level (not auth module)
- Fix _tool_allowed_for_current_user: pass public tools through when
user resolution fails (only hide tools with _class_permission_name)

(superset) 03/13: fix(mcp): address remaining code review findings for RBAC tool visibility
Posted by mi...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.
aminghadersohi pushed a commit to branch mcp-rbac-tool-visibility
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/superset.git
commit bad03e48cdf6768a382fbd3acbeb4fd5727ad6ee
Author: Amin Ghadersohi <am...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Fri May 15 00:14:15 2026 +0000
fix(mcp): address remaining code review findings for RBAC tool visibility
- app.py: clarify execute_sql requires SQL Lab access (not write access)
in both the instructions preamble and Permission Awareness section
- auth.py: add log_denial param to check_tool_permission() to suppress
noisy WARNING logs during tools/list scanning; downgrade "No authenticated
user found" from ERROR to DEBUG in _setup_user_context
- middleware.py: fail completely closed (return []) on credential failures
instead of returning tools with no class_permission_name, which could
include protect=True tools requiring auth; remove _public_tools_only helper
- server.py: catch PermissionError (invalid API key) in addition to
ValueError in _tool_allowed_for_current_user
- tests: add tests for fail-closed branches (PermissionError, bad ValueError,
and no-auth-configured ValueError in RBACToolVisibilityMiddleware)

(superset) 01/13: fix(mcp): hide write tools from users without write permissions
Posted by mi...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.
aminghadersohi pushed a commit to branch mcp-rbac-tool-visibility
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/superset.git
commit d8ee34658658cf170259d920cb2311c24ff5424c
Author: Amin Ghadersohi <am...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed May 13 20:39:56 2026 +0000
fix(mcp): hide write tools from users without write permissions
Phase 1: MCPPermissionDeniedError falls through to GlobalErrorHandlerMiddleware's
generic "Internal error" branch (500-style response) because it doesn't subclass
PermissionError. Fixed by adding it to _USER_ERROR_TYPES and an explicit elif
branch in _handle_error() that converts it to a clean ToolError.
Phase 2: Add RBACToolVisibilityMiddleware that intercepts tools/list and removes
tools the calling user lacks permission to execute. Add
is_tool_visible_to_current_user() to auth.py as the single source of truth for
tool visibility, shared by both the new middleware and the existing tool-search
transform. Register the middleware inside StructuredContentStripperMiddleware so
it filters full tool objects before outputSchema stripping. Fail open: if user
resolution fails, all tools are returned (call-time RBAC still enforces).
Also update server instructions to note write tools require write permissions.

(superset) 04/13: fix(mcp): address remaining Copilot review comments on RBAC tool visibility
Posted by mi...@apache.org.

aminghadersohi pushed a commit to branch mcp-rbac-tool-visibility

commit c358463fd169a0d379a8d45256413f6937af3906
Author: Amin Ghadersohi <am...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Fri May 15 00:24:26 2026 +0000
fix(mcp): address remaining Copilot review comments on RBAC tool visibility
Thread 1 (app.py): Restructure the permission preamble to unambiguously
separate write-access operations from SQL Lab access. Previously the
preamble listed "saving SQL queries" inside the write-operations clause
which could be read as including execute_sql. Now each permission type
is its own bullet with explicit tool names.
Thread 2 (server.py): Make _tool_allowed_for_current_user consistent with
RBACToolVisibilityMiddleware: "No authenticated user found" ValueError now
returns True (fail-open, show the tool) instead of False. Other ValueErrors
and PermissionError remain fail-closed. Previously tool-search mode would
hide all tools when no auth was configured, while tools/list showed all.
Thread 3 (middleware.py): Replace _setup_user_context() with a direct call
to get_user_from_request() in on_list_tools. _setup_user_context carries
per-call execution overhead (retry loop, session management, error logging)
that is inappropriate and noisy at list time. The middleware now controls
all logging for list-time auth failures directly.
Also updates all RBACToolVisibilityMiddleware tests to patch
get_user_from_request instead of _setup_user_context, matching the
refactored implementation.

fix(mcp): distinguish execute_sql permission from write access in instructions
Remove 'or running SQL' from the write-operations bullet so that SQL
execution is not grouped under can_write. execute_sql is controlled by
the separate execute_sql_query permission on SQLLab, which is already
called out in its own bullet below.

fix(mcp): fix unsorted imports in middleware.py
Move MCPPermissionDeniedError after underscore-prefixed import to
satisfy ruff I001 (isort ordering: underscore names sort before M).

(superset) 02/13: fix(mcp): address code review findings for RBAC tool visibility
Posted by mi...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.
aminghadersohi pushed a commit to branch mcp-rbac-tool-visibility
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/superset.git
commit 16d35d3b18330a000dc2c0b6c22b39654fdae507
Author: Amin Ghadersohi <am...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed May 13 21:27:57 2026 +0000
fix(mcp): address code review findings for RBAC tool visibility
- Fail closed (return only public tools) when credentials are invalid
(PermissionError from bad API key, ValueError from unknown dev username);
fail open only when no auth source is configured at all
- Extract _get_app_context_manager() to module level in auth.py so
RBACToolVisibilityMiddleware reuses the same context-selection logic as
mcp_auth_hook, preventing external g.user from being shadowed
- Add RBACToolVisibilityMiddleware to __main__.py stdio entry point via
build_middleware_list() to keep all transports in sync
- Fix stale patch targets in test_tool_search_transform.py: update
superset.mcp_service.server.user_can_view_data_model_metadata →
superset.mcp_service.privacy.user_can_view_data_model_metadata
- Qualify write tool listings in instructions with "(requires write access)"
and add a permissions preamble so read-only users are not confused by
tools they cannot call

Posted by mi...@apache.org.

in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/superset.git
commit f97e70ccdb09327293e5c14d51e9e52926521614

refactor(mcp): promote local imports to module level in RBAC middleware
Move contextlib, flask, and auth imports from function bodies to
module level in auth.py and middleware.py. The only remaining local
import is get_flask_app in _get_app_context_manager, which is deferred
because importing it at module level would trigger create_app() before
Superset is fully initialised (e.g. during unit-test collection).
