Copilot’s managed MCP server is moving to agentrelay so its flattened server/tool names are unambiguous. The hook currently drops those calls before Desktop can verify chat identity. Forward the new prefix unchanged alongside legacy agent-relay- calls; Desktop retains tool eligibility and signing authority. This is the public-core companion to that Desktop migration.

Validation: all six hook tests pass with default features and --no-default-features, covering unchanged names/arguments, namespace rejection and the 32 KiB boundary. Formatting and whitespace checks pass. Strict Clippy and rust-oleum failures reproduce identically on the clean base (51 Clippy errors, 105 existing ratchet violations); no diagnostic targets the changed hook and no baseline was changed. Live Copilot/Relay/history E2E remains pending.

Review: the exact initial diff and the docs-only follow-up passed root’s Veto code, security and secrets review.

The PreToolUse transport previously dropped agentrelay-prefixed calls before Desktop could attest them. Accept the new managed server prefix alongside the legacy prefix and preserve the original name and arguments. Desktop remains the authority for namespace/tool eligibility and native-chat signing; peer checks, socket routing, and 32 KiB retained / 64 MiB input limits are unchanged.

Validation: all 6 Copilot hook tests pass with default features and no-default-features; rustfmt and git diff --check pass. Strict Clippy reports the same 51 error categories and locations on clean base34d2617fc and this change, with none in copilot_hook.rs. rust-oleum0.1.3 reports 105 identical preexisting base/head violations; no baseline changed. Root reviewed the exact3-file diff and recorded Veto PASS(code/security98, secrets clean). No live Copilot injection, merge, release, or credential access.

Walkthrough

The Copilot hook now accepts agentrelay- and legacy agent-relay- tool names. Tests cover forwarding, name validation, and the existing serialized-argument size limit. The documentation and changelog describe the supported prefixes and Desktop’s role in per-call attestation.

Changes: Copilot Hook Compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool-name prefix forwarding
crates/relay-node/src/relay/cli/copilot_hook.rs, docs/harnesses/copilot-vscode.md, CHANGELOG.md
The hook strips either supported prefix. Tests cover forwarding and validation, including the existing 32 KiB serialized-argument limit. The documentation describes tool-name handling and Desktop’s role in per-call attestation. The changelog records the compatibility behavior.

Merge Risk: Low · up to eb9ea

Copilot calls from the new agentrelay namespace are now forwarded to Desktop. Whether Desktop attests those calls cannot be confirmed from this repository. The worst case is that such calls go unattested. This is mergeable, but the Desktop owners should confirm the agentrelay- prefix is recognized.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 1 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Description check

Resolution

Add the Summary, Test Plan, RelayFlow Proof, and Screenshots headings. In RelayFlow Proof, set the change type to bugfix and identify exactly one case under tests/relayflows/cases/&lt;case-id&gt;/. Add the case if it does not exist. Record the manual testing status and note if screenshots are not applicable.

107-109: Minor · Data Integrity & Integration · Low value

Long tool names are not forwarded unchanged

If a before input has an admitted name longer than 256 characters, input truncates toolName. This contradicts the documented unchanged-forwarding contract.

Update the input handling around raw_name and the agentrelay- and agent-relay-
prefix checks so admitted tool names longer than 256 characters are forwarded
unchanged in toolName. Remove or bypass the truncation for these admitted names
while preserving the existing prefix admission behavior.

149-159: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Heavy lift

Test forwarding through the hook entry point.

The new test calls input directly, so it cannot detect a request dropped or changed afterward. Add an integration test that invokes the hook for both namespaces and checks the name and arguments received at the socket route.
