Prime Agent sessions do not receive Pylon browser tools #77

Description

Problem

Prime Agent sessions do not receive Pylon's per-thread MCP server, so they cannot use the built-in preview browser even when Settings → Integrations → Allow agent browser access is enabled and the user explicitly grants computer-use permission.

This was reproduced in a real Prime Agent session. Its tool inventory contained no preview_*, browser, or computer capability. Browser verification required an external Playwright installation and bridge instead.

Why this is an integration gap

Pylon already implements the full provider-neutral browser path:

  • apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/preview/tools.ts defines status, open, navigate, resize, appearance, snapshot, click, type, press, scroll, evaluate, wait, and recording tools.
  • ProviderService.prepareMcpSession issues a thread/provider-scoped credential when agent browser access is enabled.
  • Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, and OpenCode read McpProviderSession and attach the server to their native session.
  • The desktop preview broker/host already supports local and remote client routing and session-scoped host pinning.

Prime's daemon and ACP adapters never read McpProviderSession. The parity ledger currently marks supportsAcpMcpServers, replaceAcpMcpServers, and releaseAcpMcpServers as deferred. As a result, the credential is minted but unusable by Prime.

The settings description is therefore too broad: it says browser tools are supplied to "agents" when Prime is silently excluded.

Expected behavior

A new Prime Agent session started while agent browser access is enabled receives the same scoped Pylon preview toolkit as other supported providers. Permission controls authorization; it should not require installing another Chromium or building a side-channel automation bridge.

Acceptance criteria

  • Daemon mode attaches the Pylon-owned MCP server through Prime's public owner-scoped MCP replacement API when supported.
  • ACP compatibility mode attaches it through the supported ACP session boundary, or reports a precise unavailable capability if the installed Prime release cannot accept it.
  • Ownership is singular and explicit: attach, reconnect, resource reload, session restart, stop, and provider teardown cannot leak credentials or overwrite Prime-owned MCP configuration.
  • The scoped token and native MCP configuration never cross to web/mobile clients or durable events.
  • Browser access off means no credential and no browser tools; changing the setting affects newly prepared sessions as documented.
  • Web/desktop and remote/relay/tunnel routing retain one stable preview host per provider session.
  • Feature capabilities and Settings copy report Prime support truthfully for the installed runtime.
  • Focused daemon, ACP, credential lifecycle, reconnect, and another-provider regression tests pass.
  • A real Pylon desktop pass proves preview_open, preview_snapshot, interaction, screenshot, and recording from a Prime Agent turn.

Related audit findings

The current Prime parity ledger already documents other limitations. This issue is narrower: restore the existing Pylon browser capability to Prime without exposing a raw provider-shaped MCP tunnel.

                      Prime Agent sessions do not receive Pylon browser tools #77

                      Description

                      @rynfar

                      Problem

                      Prime Agent sessions do not receive Pylon's per-thread MCP server, so they cannot use the built-in preview browser even when Settings → Integrations → Allow agent browser access is enabled and the user explicitly grants computer-use permission.

                      This was reproduced in a real Prime Agent session. Its tool inventory contained no preview_*, browser, or computer capability. Browser verification required an external Playwright installation and bridge instead.

                      Why this is an integration gap

                      Pylon already implements the full provider-neutral browser path:

                      • apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/preview/tools.ts defines status, open, navigate, resize, appearance, snapshot, click, type, press, scroll, evaluate, wait, and recording tools.
                      • ProviderService.prepareMcpSession issues a thread/provider-scoped credential when agent browser access is enabled.
                      • Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, and OpenCode read McpProviderSession and attach the server to their native session.
                      • The desktop preview broker/host already supports local and remote client routing and session-scoped host pinning.

                      Prime's daemon and ACP adapters never read McpProviderSession. The parity ledger currently marks supportsAcpMcpServers, replaceAcpMcpServers, and releaseAcpMcpServers as deferred. As a result, the credential is minted but unusable by Prime.

                      The settings description is therefore too broad: it says browser tools are supplied to "agents" when Prime is silently excluded.

                      Expected behavior

                      A new Prime Agent session started while agent browser access is enabled receives the same scoped Pylon preview toolkit as other supported providers. Permission controls authorization; it should not require installing another Chromium or building a side-channel automation bridge.

                      Acceptance criteria

                      • Daemon mode attaches the Pylon-owned MCP server through Prime's public owner-scoped MCP replacement API when supported.
                      • ACP compatibility mode attaches it through the supported ACP session boundary, or reports a precise unavailable capability if the installed Prime release cannot accept it.
                      • Ownership is singular and explicit: attach, reconnect, resource reload, session restart, stop, and provider teardown cannot leak credentials or overwrite Prime-owned MCP configuration.
                      • The scoped token and native MCP configuration never cross to web/mobile clients or durable events.
                      • Browser access off means no credential and no browser tools; changing the setting affects newly prepared sessions as documented.
                      • Web/desktop and remote/relay/tunnel routing retain one stable preview host per provider session.
                      • Feature capabilities and Settings copy report Prime support truthfully for the installed runtime.
                      • Focused daemon, ACP, credential lifecycle, reconnect, and another-provider regression tests pass.
                      • A real Pylon desktop pass proves preview_open, preview_snapshot, interaction, screenshot, and recording from a Prime Agent turn.

                      Related audit findings

                      The current Prime parity ledger already documents other limitations. This issue is narrower: restore the existing Pylon browser capability to Prime without exposing a raw provider-shaped MCP tunnel.
