Part 3b of the Cloud settings split, on top of #1677 (part 3a, the Cloud side).

For the user: commands Ployz Cloud publishes (upgrade policy, approvals) appear in ployz --help when signed in, run from the terminal with --json like any command, show in ployz schema --json with "origin": "cloud", and reach a coding agent as tools from ployz mcp on a Cloud backend, where the tool list follows Cloud's revision without a restart. A command Cloud dropped fails with unknown_command and leaves --help. A cloudless Cluster keeps every compiled command and gains nothing.

For the maintainer: core/crates/ployz/src/published/ reads Cloud's manifest (wire.rs is the wire shape, mod.rs the command model and the per-Cloud cache beside the config file), graft.rs adds entries to clap under their noun path with compiled commands winning collisions, and run.rs posts an entry's arguments to /api/cli/run/{name}. A parse miss refreshes the cache once and parses again. Every /api/cli reply names Cloud's manifest revision, and a revision the cache lacks fetches after the command's own output. ployz schema reads the cache. ployz mcp lists agent-facing entries and sends tools/list_changed when a reply names a newer revision. Code and tests are generic over the entries in tests/fixtures/published-manifest.json, the wire contract both halves share, and never name a published command.

Units, each its own commit:

  • published module: model, cache, refresh
  • attach entries to clap, cache read only at startup
  • run a published leaf; parse-miss refresh; unknown_command eviction; typed Organization name
  • header-driven refresh after a command prints
  • ployz schema origin
  • ployz mcp lists agents entries, tools/list_changed on a new revision
  • parity and unit tests
  • docs/user

Verified with cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p ployz --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test -p ployz on published, handlers::mcp::tests, published_cli and published_parity, all against a fake Cloud serving the fixture.

๐Ÿ“ Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Signed-in users can access commands supplied by Ployz Cloud alongside built-in commands. Available commands appear in CLI help and JSON schema, and cached commands remain available in help offline.
    • MCP now offers eligible Cloud commands and updates its tool list when commands change.
    • Cloud commands support typed inputs, approval prompts, and structured table or record results.
    • Added CLI guidance for managing server upgrade policies and organization approval requests.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Cloud command lists refresh when their revision changes, and commands no longer available are removed from the cache.

Walkthrough

Ployz now loads and caches Cloud-published command manifests, and exposes published commands through the CLI, command catalog, and MCP. It executes published commands through Cloud, tracks manifest revisions, and renders returned messages, records, and tables. The change also adds tests and user documentation.

Merge Risk: โšช Minimal ยท up to eaadd

No confirmed issue remains that should block merging. MCP now avoids repeatedly fetching a manifest for a revision it could not obtain.

Security architecture risk: ๐ŸŸก Moderate ยท up to eaadd

Cloud can now change the commands available to terminals and coding agents without a client release. Cloud identity and approval checks remain enforced, but one temporary discovery failure can leave a running agent connection indefinitely using outdated command metadata.

Retained concerns

  • Medium ยท reliability ยท observed: A failed or mismatched manifest reread permanently marks the requested revision as unread for the running MCP session. Subsequent replies naming that revision cannot recover the tool list even after discovery becomes healthy. Agent visibility, typed-confirmation metadata and approval transport continue to depend on the held definition, creating persistent control-metadata drift until another revision triggers a successful refresh or the process restarts. Current Cloud authorization and approval gates remain authoritative, so the evidence does not establish an approval bypass.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed โ€” The new agent-facing write surface includes Organization-wide server upgrade policy changes, affecting the release channel and automatic-upgrade setting under the caller's Organization. Approval decisions are published for terminal use but excluded from MCP through agents=false; approval acceptance additionally requires typed Organization confirmation in the CLI.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed โ€” Each run resolves the current Caller. Sessions require membership in their active Organization; tokens require an unexpired token and continuing membership of its maker. Asking commands validate input before checking approvals within that Organization against the current operation digest. These existing server controls are exercised by the new client path and counter the suggested cross-Organization and approval-bypass concerns.
  • observed โ€” Compiled tool names win collisions, invalid published names are rejected, and MCP checks agent visibility during both listing and lookup. Commands requiring typed confirmation are refused by published MCP invocation rather than delegated to the agent.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred โ€” If an approval gate changes while discovery is stranded, MCP can continue packaging approval according to the old definition. The current server gate still checks approval before execution, containing that case as incompatible input or refusal rather than establishing authorization bypass. Recovery of the advertised schema remains the unresolved client lifecycle weakness.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed โ€” Treat failed or mismatched discovery as retryable with bounded backoff rather than permanently settled. Exercise recovery after transient failure and audience, typed-confirmation and approval-gate changes across revisions while preserving concurrent-refresh serialization.

follow does not record the new revision when the refresh returns an older one.

refreshed can return a manifest whose revision differs from the revision that a reply named. This happens when Cloud serves a stale manifest, or when a NOT_MODIFIED reply returns the cached copy. In that case follow stores the manifest and sends a notification. The named revision is never held and is never put in unread. Every later call that names the same revision then rereads the manifest and sends notify_tool_list_changed again. The extra traffic is bounded per call, but it repeats. If the refreshed revision differs from revision, insert revision into unread.

โœ… Confirmed as addressed by @nick-potts

Fixed in eaadd86d5. A reread that comes back on another revision now holds the asked revision as unread, so it is reread once, not on every call. Test a_revision_the_reread_does_not_reach_is_not_reread_again saw 3 manifest reads before the fix and 2 after.

@nick-potts Thanks. The supplied follow code now marks the requested revision as unread when the refresh returns another revision. This prevents repeated refreshes for that revision. The reported regression test covers this case.

โœ… Review thread resolved.
