stacked on #17402.
MCP tools returned by `tool_search` (deferred tools) get registered in
our `ToolRegistry` with a different format than directly available
tools. this leads to two different ways of accessing MCP tools from our
tool catalog, only one of which works for each. fix this by registering
all MCP tools with the namespace format, since this info is already
available.
also, direct MCP tools are registered to responsesapi without a
namespace, while deferred MCP tools have a namespace. this means we can
receive MCP `FunctionCall`s in both formats from namespaces. fix this by
always registering MCP tools with namespace, regardless of deferral
status.
make code mode track `ToolName` provenance of tools so it can map the
literal JS function name string to the correct `ToolName` for
invocation, rather than supporting both in core.
this lets us unify to a single canonical `ToolName` representation for
each MCP tool and force everywhere to use that one, without supporting
fallbacks.
- [x] Expand tool search to custom MCPs.
- [x] Rename several variables/fields to be more generic.
Updated tool & server name lifecycles:
**Raw Identity**
ToolInfo.server_name is raw MCP server name.
ToolInfo.tool.name is raw MCP tool name.
MCP calls route back to raw via parse_tool_name() returning
(tool.server_name, tool.tool.name).
mcpServerStatus/list now groups by raw server and keys tools by
Tool.name: mod.rs:599
App-server just forwards that grouped raw snapshot:
codex_message_processor.rs:5245
**Callable Names**
On list-tools, we create provisional callable_namespace / callable_name:
mcp_connection_manager.rs:1556
For non-app MCP, provisional callable name starts as raw tool name.
For codex-apps, provisional callable name is sanitized and strips
connector name/id prefix; namespace includes connector name.
Then qualify_tools() sanitizes callable namespace + name to ASCII alnum
/ _ only: mcp_tool_names.rs:128
Note: this is stricter than Responses API. Hyphen is currently replaced
with _ for code-mode compatibility.
**Collision Handling**
We do initially collapse example-server and example_server to the same
base.
Then qualify_tools() detects distinct raw namespace identities behind
the same sanitized namespace and appends a hash to the callable
namespace: mcp_tool_names.rs:137
Same idea for tool-name collisions: hash suffix goes on callable tool
name.
Final list_all_tools() map key is callable_namespace + callable_name:
mcp_connection_manager.rs:769
**Direct Model Tools**
Direct MCP tool declarations use the full qualified sanitized key as the
Responses function name.
The raw rmcp Tool is converted but renamed for model exposure.
**Tool Search / Deferred**
Tool search result namespace = final ToolInfo.callable_namespace:
tool_search.rs:85
Tool search result nested name = final ToolInfo.callable_name:
tool_search.rs:86
Deferred tool handler is registered as "{namespace}:{name}":
tool_registry_plan.rs:248
When a function call comes back, core recombines namespace + name, looks
up the full qualified key, and gets the raw server/tool for MCP
execution: codex.rs:4353
**Separate Legacy Snapshot**
collect_mcp_snapshot_from_manager_with_detail() still returns a map
keyed by qualified callable name.
mcpServerStatus/list no longer uses that; it uses
McpServerStatusSnapshot, which is raw-inventory shaped.
