Approved. The change correctly records resolved { isError: true } MCP results as breaker failures while preserving the returned protocol payload (a resolved result is a resolve, not a rejection, so not throwing keeps transport/parse semantics intact).
The only inline finding (CodeRabbit, toolDiscoveryService.ts:744 — pass isErrorResultDetected to updateToolStats) is now implemented exactly as requested via this.updateToolStats(toolKey, !isErrorResultDetected, duration);; the thread is resolved.
Checked and clean:
- Backward compatibility (Rule 5):
MCPCircuitBreaker.executegained an optionalrecordResolvedFailurecallback; the only other callers (mcpClientFactory.ts, tool discovery) pass zero-arg callbacks that remain assignable — no unmodified caller breaks. - Rule 1: no static provider imports introduced.
- No secrets, no CLI/SDK leak (Rule 4).
- Test (
test/continuous-test-suite-mcp-breaker-resolved-errors.ts) drivesdist/at runtime withsrc/imports limited totype— end-to-end only (Rule 15), single module graph.

… error completions
Root cause: the MCP client does not throw on a protocol error — it resolves
`{ isError: true, content: [...] }`. Inside `MCPCircuitBreaker.execute()`,
`toolDiscoveryService.executeTool()` only set the tracing span status on a
resolved isError result and returned; `Promise.race` saw a clean resolve, so
`recordCall(true, ...)` ran unconditionally afterwards. A tool that only ever
"fails" by resolving an error therefore could never trip its own breaker, and
`updateToolStats(toolKey, true, ...)` counted every one of those calls as a
completion-telemetry success.
Reproduced before the fix: a stdio fixture server (added at
test/fixtures/mcp-breaker-resolved-errors-server.mjs) whose only tool always
resolves `{ isError: true }` was called 10 times through the shipped
ExternalServerManager -> ToolDiscoveryService -> MCPCircuitBreaker path; the
breaker's `getStats().state` stayed "closed" and `failedCalls` stayed 0.
Fix: `MCPCircuitBreaker.execute()` now hands its `operation` callback a
`recordResolvedFailure(reason?)` function. Calling it flags the call's
outcome as a logical failure without throwing — the resolved value is still
returned to the caller unchanged; no transport error is synthesized. The
inline failure bookkeeping that used to live only in the `catch` block
(recordCall(false, ...), the `callFailure` emit, and the half-open/closed
state-transition checks) is extracted into a shared private
`recordFailureOutcome()` so both the thrown-error path and the new
resolved-failure path run identical bookkeeping.
`toolDiscoveryService.executeTool()` calls `recordResolvedFailure()` in the
branch that already detects `isError === true` on the resolved MCP result,
and passes `!isErrorResultDetected` into `updateToolStats()` so completion
telemetry now labels a resolved isError call as a failed completion (the
wrapper above it still returns `success:true` / `data:result` unchanged —
flipping that would make `ExternalServerManager.executeTool()` throw instead
of returning the resolved MCP error, which this fix must not do).
Does: opens the breaker for a tool that only fails by resolving isError,
corrects completion telemetry for that case, keeps the resolved value
reaching the caller unchanged in both the open- and closed-breaker cases
(an open breaker still rejects with the existing CircuitBreakerOpenError,
proven by the fixture's own call-count log never advancing past 10).
Does not: change behavior for any operation that throws (unchanged
catch-path bookkeeping), change the generation/AI-SDK tool-calling path, or
change the shape of the resolved MCP result returned to callers.
Test: test/continuous-test-suite-mcp-breaker-resolved-errors.ts, driven
through the real ExternalServerManager -> ToolDiscoveryService ->
MCPCircuitBreaker path against a real stdio child-process MCP server (no
network, no AI provider — fully deterministic). Two cases: 10 consecutive
resolved-isError calls open the breaker (minimumCallsBeforeCalculation=10)
and the 11th is rejected by CircuitBreakerOpenError before ever reaching the
server process; a single resolved-isError call is counted as a breaker
failure but does not open the breaker on its own. Wired into
package.json's test:unit via test:mcp-breaker-resolved-errors.

labelled every success:true wrapper as a successful mcp_tool_calls_total

gains an additive, optional `isErrorResult` flag that ToolDiscoveryService
sets from the same detection the breaker uses; the manager records
recordMCPToolCall(..., success=false) for those calls and logs them as a
resolved MCP error rather than "executed successfully". The wrapper's
success:true / data contract is unchanged, so nothing new throws. The suite
observes the TelemetryService singleton and asserts success=false for one
resolved-isError call (deep dist import — TelemetryService is not a root
export).
The suite is added to the neurolink/e2e-tests-only allow list in eslint.config.js for that one deep import; the reason is stated there and in the suite header.

Approving on the current head (186f946).
The resolved { isError: true } MCP results are correctly recorded as circuit-breaker failures and failed-completion telemetry while the original resolved payload is returned unchanged (treated as a resolve, not a rejection — correct since these arrive on the success path).
This is the consolidated current verdict of the recurring review; the canonical summary is the <!-- yama:summary --> comment on this PR. State set to approve to keep the PR review state in sync with the verdict.
… error completions
Root cause: the MCP client does not throw on a protocol error — it resolves
`{ isError: true, content: [...] }`. Inside `MCPCircuitBreaker.execute()`,
`toolDiscoveryService.executeTool()` only set the tracing span status on a
resolved isError result and returned; `Promise.race` saw a clean resolve, so
`recordCall(true, ...)` ran unconditionally afterwards. A tool that only ever
"fails" by resolving an error therefore could never trip its own breaker, and
`updateToolStats(toolKey, true, ...)` counted every one of those calls as a
completion-telemetry success.
Reproduced before the fix: a stdio fixture server (added at
test/fixtures/mcp-breaker-resolved-errors-server.mjs) whose only tool always
resolves `{ isError: true }` was called 10 times through the shipped
ExternalServerManager -> ToolDiscoveryService -> MCPCircuitBreaker path; the
breaker's `getStats().state` stayed "closed" and `failedCalls` stayed 0.
Fix: `MCPCircuitBreaker.execute()` now hands its `operation` callback a
`recordResolvedFailure(reason?)` function. Calling it flags the call's
outcome as a logical failure without throwing — the resolved value is still
returned to the caller unchanged; no transport error is synthesized. The
inline failure bookkeeping that used to live only in the `catch` block
(recordCall(false, ...), the `callFailure` emit, and the half-open/closed
state-transition checks) is extracted into a shared private
`recordFailureOutcome()` so both the thrown-error path and the new
resolved-failure path run identical bookkeeping.
`toolDiscoveryService.executeTool()` calls `recordResolvedFailure()` in the
branch that already detects `isError === true` on the resolved MCP result,
and passes `!isErrorResultDetected` into `updateToolStats()` so completion
telemetry now labels a resolved isError call as a failed completion (the
wrapper above it still returns `success:true` / `data:result` unchanged —
flipping that would make `ExternalServerManager.executeTool()` throw instead
of returning the resolved MCP error, which this fix must not do).
Does: opens the breaker for a tool that only fails by resolving isError,
corrects completion telemetry for that case, keeps the resolved value
reaching the caller unchanged in both the open- and closed-breaker cases
(an open breaker still rejects with the existing CircuitBreakerOpenError,
proven by the fixture's own call-count log never advancing past 10).
Does not: change behavior for any operation that throws (unchanged
catch-path bookkeeping), change the generation/AI-SDK tool-calling path, or
change the shape of the resolved MCP result returned to callers.
Test: test/continuous-test-suite-mcp-breaker-resolved-errors.ts, driven
through the real ExternalServerManager -> ToolDiscoveryService ->
MCPCircuitBreaker path against a real stdio child-process MCP server (no
network, no AI provider — fully deterministic). Two cases: 10 consecutive
resolved-isError calls open the breaker (minimumCallsBeforeCalculation=10)
and the 11th is rejected by CircuitBreakerOpenError before ever reaching the
server process; a single resolved-isError call is counted as a breaker
failure but does not open the breaker on its own. Wired into
package.json's test:unit via test:mcp-breaker-resolved-errors.

Review follow-up (CodeRabbit on PR #1619, MINOR): ExternalServerManager
labelled every success:true wrapper as a successful mcp_tool_calls_total
sample, including resolved { isError: true } results. ExternalMCPToolResult
gains an additive, optional `isErrorResult` flag that ToolDiscoveryService
sets from the same detection the breaker uses; the manager records
recordMCPToolCall(..., success=false) for those calls and logs them as a
resolved MCP error rather than "executed successfully". The wrapper's
success:true / data contract is unchanged, so nothing new throws. The suite
observes the TelemetryService singleton and asserts success=false for one
resolved-isError call (deep dist import — TelemetryService is not a root
export).
The suite is added to the neurolink/e2e-tests-only allow list in eslint.config.js for that one deep import; the reason is stated there and in the suite header.
Second review follow-up (CodeRabbit MINOR): the resolved-isError assertion message no longer interpolates the tool payload — provider-like text in a failure message can make defineSuite classify a real failure as a skip; it now reports the call number and the failed predicate only.
