## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents discover assigned app tools through a governed
gateway.
> - OpenCode receives search and call tools instead of the full app
catalog.
> - A blank optional schema reference selected schema lookup instead of
search.
> - Agents received an unknown-tool error and could abandon valid app
access.
> - This pull request treats blank references as search and explains
invalid schema requests.
> - Agents can find their assigned tools while the gateway keeps its
access checks.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An agent called `paperclip_search_assigned_tools` with
`{"query":"github","schemaTool":""}`. The server tried to find a tool
with an empty name. It returned `assigned_mcp_tool_unknown` instead of
search results. The agent then reported that its GitHub tools were
missing.
**Expected behavior**
A blank optional schema reference must permit normal tool discovery. A
bad schema reference must explain how to search again.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign an app tool to a native agent that uses on-demand discovery.
2. Search with `{"query":"github","schemaTool":""}`.
3. Observe the unknown-tool error instead of the assigned tool.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced from source before this fix, on master at d26628e35a.
**Deployment mode**
Native OpenCode with assigned MCP tools. The shared search code also
serves other native providers.
Related implementation: Refs #17740. A search for `schemaTool` found no
duplicate issue or pull request.
## What Changed
- Treat empty and whitespace-only schema references as normal search.
Accept a zero schema offset in this mode.
- Explain how to correct unknown references and positive offsets without
a reference.
- Test discovery, invocation, and revocation through the authenticated
OpenCode MCP bridge.
- Update tool descriptions, developer guidance, and the execution maps.
## Verification
- The three new regression cases failed before the fix.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/assigned-mcp-tools.test.ts`: 43 tests
passed after the fix.
- Existing tests cover schema chunks, work-mode restrictions,
revocation, approvals, and pinned tool catalogs.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Full CI passed on commit `26d20fc19d846d46d7656a9f0160db5e81479dbc`:
55 successful checks, one neutral review check, and three skipped
checks. Nothing is pending or failing. This includes all CI test shards,
Runner verification, build, typecheck, security checks, and the canary
dry run.
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` completed its first five chat
integration shards without failures. I stopped the remaining local run
after the complete CI suite passed. The full local suite did not finish;
the complete-suite result is from CI.
- Greptile and the Paperclip code review each gave commit
`26d20fc19d846d46d7656a9f0160db5e81479dbc` a 5/5 score with no findings.
There are no unresolved review threads.
- The initial focused test could not collect tests until the fresh
worktree built its plugin SDK dependencies. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps` resolved that setup
requirement.
## Risks
Low risk. Blank references and zero schema offsets now select normal
search. Nonblank references still require an exact authorized tool name.
Discovery and calls keep their existing gateway checks. The change needs
no database migration.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose the exact backend model ID or
context window size in this session.

Paperclip agent access map
This map accompanies the feature map. It records APIs, agent entry points, permission boundaries and verification for the same capability IDs. The shared contract defines the format and maintenance rules.
The chat scenario catalog uses these same IDs for human requests and expected outcomes. Its scenarios retain the access boundaries here; neither a CEO role nor a planned scenario grants board authority or establishes a working production tool binding.
Use full capability IDs when referring to access contracts outside their file:
onboarding/company means the company capability in onboarding.md in both maps.
The feature index lists feature and
capability IDs; IDs and references
explains entry-point references and stable naming.
Browse access contracts
The same-named feature recipes define navigation and capability IDs. Run
node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs for the generated
maps/generated/agent-access-map.md index, or browse the
published feature guide.
Add or update the affected companion; there is no central registration or count.
Existing baseline source references describe the original inspection, not current verification. Record new executed evidence in the PR, issue, or CI artifact with its revision and scope. Do not refresh unrelated headers as bookkeeping.
Using an entry
Read its Policy and Gaps before selecting an agent path. Native fallback, legacy
REST/CLI, stdio MCP and a personal assistant connection can have different
authority and availability. Use a real admitted production binding; a scenario
declaration is not an installed tool. A restricted entry records current
enforcement and leaves any unresolved delegation decision visible.
For API catalog disagreements, follow the route/service authorization and record
discovery drift. For not-applicable, retain the concrete exception and local
path. Split shared business operations from client-only presentation.
Use maintain-verification-skill to reconcile changed source and both maps.
Use verify-paperclip and existing API/runner/MCP fixtures to collect the
permitted-agent and denial evidence; report blocked/not-run coverage honestly.
Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after editing. The structural check does not
certify permissions, API catalog coverage, tool admission or live behavior.
Native REST transport
The call_api parity change reconciles affected baselines against
58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b and the changes in this PR. Ordinary
REST operations use the same route authorization as legacy agent REST. Dedicated
tools remain optional for those operations; protocol endpoints still need their
existing clients. Board-only routes remain restricted for agent identity.
Native search_api / call_api is enabled by default, but explicit server,
company-allowlist and binding settings can narrow admission. It requires a running
authorized native run, current task assignment and execution-run binding, company
and budget authority, task privacy, and a permitted work mode. Ask and Plan retain
mutation restrictions, and runs retain their admitted JWT scope during restart
recovery even when task mode changes. A waiting
agent does not gain independent native control just because a REST route exists.
Connection-management reads support Standard, Ask and Plan; mutations require
Standard. Skill-test runs and nonstandard task-bridge keys cannot administer
connections. These gates supplement each operation's grants, resolved resource
and target scope, and responsible-user authority. See the
rollout policy
and connection authorization.
Credential-bearing replies, including company exports and their legacy alias, stay inline under a 10 MiB limit and use encrypted mutation receipts. Other saved API snapshots are limited to the issuing actor and responsible user, plus authorized administrators. Artifact uploads enforce the same access checks as downloads; private snapshots are excluded from company exports and public company logos. Explicit deliverables use the existing sharing path. Native event history, checkpoints and completion records omit API bodies while preserving receipt metadata and replay digests. Restored webhook secrets use the same encrypted receipt and inline response policy as newly created webhook secrets. Task image access requires the company boundary and the task permission; skill-test and low-trust agents do not need company-wide browsing authority. Completion replay applies the same idempotent projection to stored and expected payloads; the run-log guide describes its fields.
Sources: API client,
catalog,
native authority,
credential storage classification,
snapshot access,
and history redaction. The affected entries remain
baseline and source-only; this reconciliation does not certify every operation.
Targeted real-route proof lives in the
API integration suite,
including owned routines, skill tests, scoped secrets, proposals and private export replay.
