preserving existing handler/template validation. Add a regression test covering
a template-supported but catalog-unknown lane_in and assert that no unavailable

- Around line 159-171: Update _scaffold_node to validate name, lane_in,
lane_out, and class_type are strings before regex matching, defaulting, or
template use; return _bad for invalid values instead of allowing type errors.
Validate lane_in against known_lanes as well as the existing template
availability, and preserve the current defaults and dispatch behavior for valid
arguments.

- Around line 289-292: Update the dropped-key comprehension in the profile
handling logic to report every discarded sibling key, excluding only the literal
profile key and the selected profile object; do not filter based on membership
in resolved. Add a regression test covering a discarded sibling such as host
that is also present in resolved.

A .pipe rarely says what a node gets. The engine merges profile defaults and, when a profile is set, reads the user layer only from the sub-object named after that profile, so a key written beside it is discarded in silence. The author of rocketride-org#1989 lost a day to exactly that, and the schema cannot express it: a schema describes what a field is, not that this field in this profile will be dropped. resolve_config runs the config through the same Config.getNodeConfig a node calls at load, and returns the resolved result plus the keys the resolver discarded, with a hint naming the object they belong in. Resolution has to happen engine-side. getServiceSchemas copies 15 keys into the catalog and preconfig is not among them (services.cpp:2100-2148), so profile resolution cannot be reproduced from rrext_services or /services. The tool reaches the engine through the existing seam rather than importing Config directly. modules/mcp/engine.py states that tools depend only on the EngineClient protocol so a later revision can swap the WS SDK for in-process calls without touching tool code; a direct import would have made this the first tool to break that. So this adds rrext_resolve_config next to rrext_services and rrext_validate, the matching SDK method, and one line on each side of the seam. Both argument checks default only a genuinely absent config: `or {}` would coerce a falsy non-object such as [] and skip the type check entirely. A test caught that. doc.md gains the tool row and its count moves to 28.
… try Authoring a node means discovering its contract by failure, and the documented contract is wrong in three places, so reading the docs first does not help: - preconfig is marked optional in README-node-schema.md, but Config.getNodeConfig raises without it and nearly every IGlobal calls that at load. Of 170 services*.json in the tree, the only ones without preconfig are global-field files with no protocol plus a handful whose IGlobal never calls it. - depends() is documented as running in __init__.py, and the same page then contradicts itself. The real nodes call it from IGlobal.beginGlobal, and any third-party import has to follow it. - The "Adding a New Node" example shows a plain class with a process() method, which nothing in the engine calls. The contract is IGlobalBase/IInstanceBase. Two more the docs omit: a services.json without protocol is not registered as a service at all, and register must be filter or endpoint or the node loads but can never be instantiated. The provider name is the protocol, which is the mistake the issue opens with. scaffold_node emits all of that correctly, including the parent local_nodes/__init__.py and the local_nodes.<name> import path. class_type and lane_out are checked against the live catalog rather than a list here, so the allowed sets follow the engine instead of drifting as nodes are added. It returns files rather than writing them. _common.load_pipeline already refuses server-side reads because an MCP caller could otherwise reach the server's disk; writing deserves the same stance. The tests assert the emitted skeleton against the engine's real requirements: every generated Python file parses, the manifest carries the four keys that stop a node loading, depends() is in IGlobal and not __init__.py, and the handler matches the requested lane. Dropping preconfig from the template fails them. doc.md gains the tool row and its count moves to 29.
…heck
resolve_config defaulted with `config or {}`, which coerces a falsy non-object
such as [] into {} and hides the mistake the engine would have reported. Only an
absent config is defaulted now, matching the handler it calls.
…nt one resolve_config decided a key was discarded by checking whether it was missing from the resolved config. Nearly every profile in the catalog declares apikey, so an apikey written beside "profile" comes back present, holding the profile's value rather than the author's, and the tool stayed silent on the exact case it exists to surface. A key now counts as discarded when what the node receives differs from what the author wrote. Found by calling the tool over the MCP transport against a real llm_openai profile; the unit test missed it because its stub returned a resolved config without the key at all.
_catalog_values branched on whether its key argument was the string 'lanes', so one function carried two different traversals. Splitting them drops the branch and the stringly-typed parameter, and the lane names are now filtered for strings the way the class types already were.
Three defects found in review: A catalog entry whose classType is a bare string was iterated character by character, so 'text' admitted 't', 'e' and 'x' as class types and rejected the real one. Introduced when the lookup was split in two; the container check that guarded it is back. Dispatch does not apply the tool's inputSchema, so a non-string name reached the regex and raised TypeError instead of returning an actionable answer. Name, both lanes and class_type are now checked for type first. lane_in was validated only against the local handler templates, never against the catalog, so a lane with a template but no engine support produced a manifest with an input lane nothing serves. Also corrects the introspection group heading in doc.md, which still counted 5 tools and did not list scaffold.py as a source.
…changed Comparing the resolved value against the author's missed the sibling that happens to match the profile's own value. The resolver never read that line either, so staying quiet left the author believing it was in effect when the key inside the profile is what applied. With a profile set every sibling is discarded, so the value is not worth comparing and the check is simpler for it.
lane_in, lane_out and class_type defaulted with `or`, so a supplied 0, '' or [] became the fallback and never reached the type check that would have reported it. Defaulting now applies only to an absent or null argument, matching the handler this PR already corrected on the client side.
validate_pipeline passed a pipeline naming a provider that does not exist, so a typed name validated clean and failed later at run time. The engine's provider lookup lives in validate_pipeline.cpp's single-component path, which the whole pipeline path never reaches. The tool now checks each component against the engine's service catalog after the engine's own validation, and reports the component id with the name it could not resolve. The names come from the engine, so no rule moves into the client, and engine findings are added to rather than replaced. Closes the third of the four tools rocketride-org#1989 asked for; it was previously treated as already shipped in rocketride-org#1880, which covers the structural half only.

Summary
resolve_config(what a node actually receives) andscaffold_node(a skeleton that loads on the first try).Type
feat
Scope
#1989 asks for four tools.
reload_nodeshas nothing to build on and is filed separately as #2071. The other three are here:resolve_config,scaffold_node, and a gap invalidate_pipelinethat #1880 left open.The issue names
client-mcp. Since it was filed, #1880 landed the engine-embedded server whose own doc calls that package superseded, so these go on the live surface.resolve_config
Config.getNodeConfigmerges profile and defaults at load, so a.piperarely says what the node receives. Returns{provider, profile, resolved, dropped}.droppedis the point: with a profile set, the resolver reads the user layer only from the sub-object named after that profile, so a key written besideprofilenever reaches the node and nothing reports it (#1839).Resolution runs engine-side because
rrext_servicesdoes not carrypreconfig, so it cannot be reproduced from the catalog. Hence the new handler and client method.scaffold_node
Templates follow the tree, not the docs, which are wrong in three places:
preconfigis marked optional butgetNodeConfigraises without it;depends()is documented in__init__.pybut real nodes call it fromIGlobal.beginGlobal; the "Adding a New Node" example shows aprocess()method nothing calls. Two the docs omit: withoutprotocola manifest is not registered at all, andregistermust befilterorendpoint.Allowed
class_typeand lane names come from the live catalog. The tool returns files and writes nothing.validate_pipeline
#1880 shipped this tool, so it was first treated as done. A pipeline naming a provider that does not exist validates clean: the engine's provider lookup sits in
validate_pipeline.cpp's single-component path, which the whole-pipeline path never reaches, so a typed name fails only at run time.Each component is now checked against the engine's service catalog after the engine's own validation. The names come from the engine, so no rule moves into the client, and engine findings are added to rather than replaced.
Testing
./builder testpasses (ranaiandclient-python; not the C++ suites, which this does not touch)builder ai:test2471 passed,builder nodes:test3538 passed, 0 failed.All three tools were driven over the real MCP transport against a local engine rather than called as functions:
tools/listadvertises 29, each call and every error branch answers correctly, and the existing introspection tools are unchanged.The scaffolder is checked against the engine's own definition of a valid node: writing the transport's own output to disk and running
nodes/test/test_contracts.pyover it takes that suite from 346 to 348, both passing.builder client-python:testreports 6 failures andbuilder docs:buildfails on a broken link. Both are pre-existing and reproduce on a clean develop checkout.Docs
packages/ai/src/ai/modules/mcp/doc.md: tool count updated everywhere it appears, the two new rows added, and thevalidate_pipelinerow now says what it covers.Checklist
