Expose the getWorkflowRun polling tool so the LLM can observe a run's status, closing the discover -> trigger -> poll loop. Report-only in v1: human-gated runs report waitingForHumanInput but cannot be resumed via MCP (tracked in PRD-441). Threads a getMcpWorkflowRun call through forestadmin-client (types, HTTP api, workflows service) to the MS7 read endpoint, and registers a read-only getWorkflowRun MCP tool scoped to the caller.

…#1792) Adds a report-only (v1) workflow toolset so an LLM can list, trigger and observe Forest workflows through the MCP server. Tools (all default-on): - listWorkflows — MCP-enabled workflows, optionally filtered by collection. Workflows whose collection was renamed or removed are filtered out, since triggerWorkflow would reject them anyway. - triggerWorkflow — starts a run on a record, returns { runId, runState }. Resolves the workflow by id (O(1)), rejects unknown / MCP-disabled ids without starting a run, and declares destructive MCP annotations. - getWorkflowRun — the full hydrated run: runState plus the complete workflowHistory (per-step definition and context). A run parked on a human-gated step is not resumable via MCP in v1 (follow-up PRD-441). Transport: the tools call @forestadmin/forestadmin-client (new WorkflowsService → ForestHttpApi) against /api/workflow-orchestrator/mcp-workflows/*, under the MCP session identity (forestServerToken, Forest-Application-Source: MCP stamped on the MCP-only routes). All four responses are projected onto an explicit whitelist before reaching a model — stepDefinition is the one deliberate pass-through. Audit: triggerWorkflow is fail-closed. The pending activity log ("requested the workflow X via MCP", no runId yet) is written before the run starts, like create/update/delete. The fail policy now lives in createPendingActivityLog and is arbitrated by action type and by cause: write actions fail closed, read actions fail open with a logged warning, and a 401/403 propagates either way. It covers both the rejected write and the 200-with-null-log-id case. Model-facing errors: transport failures are classified before a model sees them on all four calls — raw Node/superagent errors and the client-built 408 never reach the model, terminal 4xx are told not to retry (shared RETRY_WILL_NOT_HELP wording), and the non-idempotent trigger never advises a retry. Also: TriggerType.Mcp accepted by the workflow-executor run mapper (PRD-832); ForestAdminClient gains a required readonly workflowsService (compile-time breaking for external implementations of the interface — the ForestAdminClientWithCache constructor is a strict append); recordId bounded at 255 to match the server column. Deploy order (spans three repos): workflow executors to the PRD-832 release first (an older executor makes every MCP trigger fail loudly with a zod error), then forestadmin-server (PRD-49, provides the mcp-workflows routes and the by-id lookup this audit depends on), then this PR and the frontend. Includes PRD-736 (#1771), PRD-738 (#1777), PRD-740 (#1785), PRD-831 (#1805), PRD-832 (#1786). fixes PRD-49 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description
Story MS8 of PRD-49 · Iteration 4 (observation).
Exposes the
getWorkflowRunpolling tool so the LLM can observe a run's status, closing the discover (listWorkflows) → trigger (triggerWorkflow) → poll (getWorkflowRun) loop.Report-only in v1: a run parked on a human-gated step reports
waitingForHumanInput: truebut is not resumable via MCP — such runs are finished from the Forest UI (resume tracked in PRD-441).Changes
