feat(mcp): mask write-back channel for tool calls - #1008
Merged
Conversation
…r pii custom patterns (AISIX-Cloud#1334)
- A custom pattern regex with at least one capture group now rewrites
only group 1 of each match, keeping the rest of the match verbatim,
so a rule can replace a value while preserving its key/label
("version": "12.1" -> "version": "***" stays parseable JSON).
Patterns without capture groups keep the whole-match semantics.
- Checksum validators (Luhn / ISO 7064) now run on the replaced span
(group 1 when present), so a prefixed pattern cannot silently
disable its validator.
- PiiCustomPattern gains an optional replacement field overriding the
default [<NAME>_REDACTED] token; empty string deletes the span; the
text is literal (no group expansion).
- replacement on a pattern whose effective action is block rejects the
row at build time (a knob is enforced as written or rejected, never
accepted-but-unread).
- e2e: capture-group rules drive a real DP end to end - request and
response rewritten in place (zh + en), hard negatives byte-identical,
embedded JSON still parses; regenerated guardrail.schema.json.…groups group_scoped is auto-detected from the pattern, so an accidental capturing group in a future builtin would silently narrow its replacement to group 1. Assert captures_len() == 1 for every builtin (audit rider on #1007).
- json_splice: byte-splicing rewrite of JSON string values selected by a path predicate. Decodes only the selected leaves, re-encodes the replacements, and splices them into the original buffer - key order, whitespace, number spellings, and escape choices outside the masked spans survive byte-for-byte (a Value round-trip cannot promise that: BTreeMap re-sorts keys and numbers re-serialise canonically). - /mcp input hook: string leaves under params.arguments are rewritten through the chain's sync redactor after the block check; the inner gateway receives the masked body (Content-Length refreshed). A splice failure fails closed. - /mcp output hook: output_guardrail_block becomes verdict + write-back (apply_output_guardrails). Masked spans are spliced in place across result.content[].text, result.content[].resource.text, and every string leaf under result.structuredContent; the client receives the original bytes everywhere else. - scan surface: embedded-resource text (type=resource, resource.text) now enters the output scan set - previously a sibling text block kept the set non-empty and the whole log body went unread. base64 blob resources are deliberately not decoded yet (design point pending). - usage: MCP events now carry redacted_entity_counts, and full-content exporters receive the POST-MASK tool args/result via CapturedContent (capture cloned after the write-backs, same order as the LLM path).
- harness: the mock MCP upstream records raw request bodies and gains a report tool returning fixed rich content - a text summary block, an embedded resource (resource.text log), and structuredContent with a string leaf plus a numeric field. - e2e: two DP instances share one upstream; the unguarded instance is the byte-for-byte baseline (kept exporter-less so raw values never reach the SOC target legitimately). Pins: upstream receives masked arguments (byte-diff, ids normalised); the client body is a full-body byte-diff against the baseline with only the masked spans changed and still parses; text block, resource.text, and structuredContent leaves all rewrite (zh + en); rewrite never blocks (200, no error, no isError); the SLS export carries post-mask content and detector counts, never the raw values.

- Around line 800-824: Track whether scanning used the empty-scan fallback in
the mask write-back flow, and when it did, make the rewrite predicate match
every string leaf under result rather than only structuredContent and known
content text paths. Preserve the existing narrow predicate for normal scans and
ensure unmatched fallback shapes are rewritten instead of returning the original
bytes through ToolResultOutcome::Allow(None).

test’s MARKER. Wait for a response-only marker, then assert SLS contains the
masked report summary plus masked resource.text and structuredContent values.
Preserve the existing raw-value exclusions and detector-count assertions.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Make the SOC export test independent and verify response capture.
waitForToken(..., MARKER) succeeds only after the preceding request test sends eda__echo. Running this test alone will time out.
The current assertions prove request-side capture only. They pass if the exporter omits the masked report response entirely.
Send a guarded eda__report call in this test. Wait for a response-only marker. Assert that the masked summary, resource.text, and structuredContent values reach SLS. Keep the raw-value and detector-count assertions.
As per coding guidelines, “Avoid explicit dependencies between tests and hidden execution order assumptions.”

…ke the SOC e2e assertion Audit riders on #1008: - A resource_link block carries its data in block-level description and title; with any sibling text block the non-empty scan set suppressed the fallback, so a rule anchored only there never fired and PII was never masked - the same silent class the PR fixes for resource.text, one sibling over. Both fields now scan and rewrite; name/uri stay untouched by design (they address the resource, and rewriting an identifier breaks the client's follow-up fetch). The unit test pins the exclusion with a name that WOULD match the mask rule. - The SLS leak assertion raced the report event: it waited only for the echo marker, so the response-direction negatives could false-pass before the report record flushed. The summary prefix is now a second wait token.

Closes the DP half of api7/AISIX-Cloud#1330. Stacked on #1007 (capture-group scoping +
replacement, which the e2e rules use); retargets tomainwhen #1007 merges.Problem
/mcphad no mask write-back channel: both directions called only the verdict hooks and forwarded/returned the original bytes. Akind=piimask rule was a silent no-op (content flowed unmasked, no 4xx, no telemetry signal — the #962 class), and the scan surface missed embedded resources entirely: thetype == "text"filter droppedresource.text, and the whole-result fallback only fired when the scan set was empty — so the typical "text summary + resource log" return shape went completely unread. Audit/SOC export carried no MCP content at all (contenthardcodedNone).Changes
json_splice(new) — byte-splicing rewrite of JSON string values selected by a path predicate. Decodes only the selected leaves (viaserde_jsonper-slice, so escapes/surrogates are exact), re-encodes the replacements, and splices them into the original buffer. Key order, whitespace, number spellings (1e3), and escape choices outside the masked spans survive byte-for-byte — aValueround-trip cannot promise that (BTreeMap re-sorts keys, numbers re-serialise canonically). Object keys are never offered for rewrite but are decoded to build the predicate path. Fails safe: any unexpected byte or depth blow-up is an error, never a partially rewritten document.Input hook — after the block check, string leaves under
params.argumentsare rewritten through the chain's sync redactor; the inner gateway receives the masked body (Content-Length refreshed). Splice failure fails closed (structurally impossible after the peek parse, but never forward what the mask policy should hide).Output hook —
output_guardrail_blockbecomesapply_output_guardrails: verdict + write-back. Masked spans are spliced in place acrossresult.content[].text,result.content[].resource.text, and every string leaf underresult.structuredContent. The scan set now includesresource.text(a keyword block rule anchored only in the log body now fires — unit test pins the pre-fix escape shape exactly). Splice failure or unparseable body fails closed.Usage/SOC — MCP events carry
redacted_entity_counts; full-content exporters receive the POST-MASK args/result viaCapturedContent(cloned after the write-backs — same mask-then-capture order as the LLM path). The response is buffered when capture needs it even without a guardrail chain.Deliberately out of scope (design points held for review)
blobresources are not decoded (mimeType allowlist + size caps + decode→scan→re-encode): pending confirmation of the customer's actual log return shape."version": "...") fires when that shape is embedded inside a string leaf (log text — covered by e2e), not whenversionis a real JSON field whose value sits alone in its own leaf (or is a number).
