commit 31a204b1c67b13716aa41138460f4389a4d008ea Author: Amin Ghadersohi <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Sat May 16 22:15:01 2026 +0000 fix(mcp): address Codex review — error class, fail-open, DRY permission logic - MCPPermissionDeniedError now inherits PermissionError so the middleware classifies RBAC denials as user errors (WARNING log, "Access denied" sanitized message) rather than server errors with full stack traces. - Fix fail-open: FAB_API_KEY_PREFIXES with a non-iterable value (e.g. None) no longer raises TypeError and silently disables transport auth; falls back to default prefix ["sst_"] with a warning instead. - Fix diagnostic message in get_user_from_request(): when FAB_API_KEY_PREFIXES is a plain string, prefix_example was taking index [0] and showing only the first character ("s" instead of "sst_"). - DRY: _tool_allowed_for_current_user in server.py now delegates the RBAC check to check_tool_permission (auth.py) instead of duplicating the config flag, permission-attr lookup, and security_manager.can_access call. - Document that MCP_REQUIRED_SCOPES is not enforced for API-key auth (FAB keys have no scopes; RBAC is enforced via check_tool_permission instead). - Add FAB upgrade note to find_user_with_relationships docstring: the method mirrors FAB's find_user() internals and should be reviewed on FAB upgrades.
