feat(events-shim): one MCP URL that wakes an idle agent on each webhook post - #2151
Adds @agent-relay/events-shim: one MCP URL that turns webhook posts into Agent Relay messages that wake an idle agent session (like a hosted webhook inbox, but delivered by injection instead of polling).
A person adds one MCP server (claude mcp add --transport http webhooks <mcp url>) and points any sender at the paired webhook URL.
Under Agent Relay the agent runs agent-relay-probe webhook --socket <socket> (new; POST /webhooks on the session socket, which already existed) and calls link_relay_wake. Every later post is forwarded to that session webhook; relay-node injects it, waking the session when idle.
Without Agent Relay: wait_for_webhook (blocks up to 50s) or get_webhook_events.
Nudges: a text/plain post to an authenticated URL is delivered verbatim, so an MCP vendor can wake agents with a pointer to its own data. Open posts are always wrapped as untrusted data.
Wake links only to allowed Relaycast origins (default https://cast.agentrelay.com), checked with a link-check post before storing — prevents SSRF via the MCP URL.
Hosts supply an EventsShimStore and mount one Web Request → Response handler (handleEventsShimRequest). Cloud and relay-control PRs consume it.
agent-relay-probe webhook is deliberately not in Codex's auto-allow list: its secret lets the holder inject into the session, so a relayed message must not be able to mint one unattended.
Package added to the publish matrix, build:core, vitest workspace aliases; CHANGELOG [Unreleased - Minor].
Test Plan
vitestpackages/events-shim/src — 13/13 (real MCP SDK client over the HTTP handler: queueing, wake forwarding, broken links, SSRF refusal, wait_for_webhook, idempotency, GitHub/Stripe/Linear/bearer verification, limits, rotate/expiry, verbatim nudges, no double hand-over)
tsc --noEmit for the package
cargo test --lib -- session_cli relay_commands sandbox_rule — 12/12
Real end-to-end (2026-11-11): package handler → real cast.agentrelay.com session webhook → Agent Relay Desktop. The link check arrived in a live Claude Code session as from webhook; then, with that session idle, a bearer text/plain post (202, wake: forwarded) woke the session with the exact nudge text; feed recorded woken. Test webhook revoked afterwards.
Follow-ups: AgentWorkforce/cloud and AgentWorkforce/relay-control PRs pin @agent-relay/events-shim@18.2.0 and need this released first.
…ok post
Adds @agent-relay/events-shim: webhook verification (open, GitHub, Stripe,
Linear, bearer), once-per-key delivery, limits, the MCP tools
(watch_webhooks, link_relay_wake, get_webhook_events, wait_for_webhook) and a
Request -> Response handler that Cloud and relay-control mount over their
own storage. Posts are forwarded to the session's own relay webhook, which
Agent Relay injects into the session, waking it when idle.
Adds 'agent-relay-probe webhook [--revoke]' (POST/DELETE /webhooks) so a
session can make that webhook. It is not in the Codex auto-allow list.

…re-deliver a read post
A text/plain post to an authenticated URL (bearer, GitHub, Stripe, Linear)
is delivered as exactly that text, so an MCP vendor can wake agents with a
pointer to its own data. Open posts stay wrapped as untrusted data.
markDelivery no longer moves a read post back to pending/woken when a wake
result lands after the agent already read it (both host stores did this).

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 77ea6
Provider-signed non-JSON posts could be delivered to agents as trusted instructions if an attacker replays them with a changed Content-Type header. Close that gap before merging. The wake-link timestamp race is rare and low impact.

A rabbit checks the webhook queue, Then sends a nudge on its way through. Signed posts arrive, and secrets stay, While sleepy events wake up today. “Hop!” says the rabbit, “All delivered!”
…log on link, forward-only delivery state
- EventsShimStore.reservePost replaces countPostsSince + recordPost so
concurrent posts cannot all pass the hourly/daily check.
- link_relay_wake forwards every waiting post, batch by batch.
- markDelivery moves only forward (pending -> woken -> read); a late failed
wake no longer re-queues a post that was woken or read.

[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge; no new blocking issue was found.
Summary
Adds @agent-relay/events-shim, which accepts webhook posts and forwards them to a linked Agent Relay session.
Webhook posts enter an inbox agents can read or wait on.
Linked webhook posts can wake the agent’s own Relay session.
The events-shim package joins the repository’s build and release workflows.

…retry wakes, durable dedupe
- Store contract: claimPending/releaseWake/countPending replace
listUndelivered/markDelivery, so concurrent readers and forwarders never
get the same post; markWakeBroken applies only to the link it was sent
to; appendEvent keeps idempotency keys in their own 24h ledger.
- deliverPending: claim, forward with retries (0s/1s/4s), release on
failure, and drain older pending posts after each successful wake.
- Signed provider posts dedupe on signed content (Stripe id, else body
hash), never on unsigned headers.
- JSDoc @param/@returns on public APIs, no any in tests, UPPER_CASE
module constants.

…asses for replaced links
- New 'sending' state: a wake claims one post at a time on a 2-minute lease
and confirms it 'woken' only after Relaycast accepted it; an expired lease
is claimable again, so a host that dies mid-send never leaves posts that
look delivered.
- claimPending takes linkedAt and claims nothing unless that link is still
current and unbroken (same atomic step), so unlink/relink stops an
in-flight pass.
- confirmWake / releaseWake act only on 'sending'.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
confirmWake and releaseWake take the claim's timestamp and apply only while
the post is still that claim, so a sender whose lease expired cannot undo a
newer claim of the same post.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Use vetted cryptographic primitives for secret comparisons.
verifyInbound uses this handwritten loop for attacker-supplied bearer tokens and signatures. The loop has no early exit, but that does not establish a platform-level constant-time guarantee. Use Web Crypto HMAC verification for signatures and a vetted constant-time primitive for bearer comparisons. Cloudflare recommends crypto.subtle.verify() for HMAC verification. (developers.cloudflare.com)
Based on learnings, secret comparisons must not use “simple loops” and should use a vetted constant-time comparison utility.

Review comments at @packages/events-shim/README.md:
- Line 39: Update the setup guidance around EventsShimStore and
MemoryEventsShimStore to explain how hosts create and configure an inbox after
mounting the handler: call POST /shims to obtain the MCP URL and manage its
token, and, for authenticated URLs, call PUT /shims/current/secrets/<mode>
with that token.
- Around line 27-28: Update the README deduplication description around
Idempotency-Key and EVENTS_SHIM_LIMITS to state that GitHub and Linear posts are
deduplicated using a hash of the body and that deduplication keys expire after
24 hours; remove the claim that provider delivery IDs are used for these posts.
- Around line 33-35: The README promises authenticated text is delivered
exactly, but wakeText trims and truncates it. Update wakeText to preserve the
full text, or, if those limits are intentional, revise the
authenticated-delivery description to state the trimming and 6,000-character
limit accurately.
Review comments at @packages/events-shim/src/delivery.ts:
- Line 77: Add a durable recovery pass for pending posts and expired sending
claims so delivery resumes after temporary retries fail, even without a new post
or relink. Locate the delivery outcome handling around the return that builds
stalled.permanent and stalled.reason, and integrate recovery with the existing
delivery and claim mechanisms; establish how the host runs durable work and
preserve current retry and claim safeguards.
Review comments at @packages/events-shim/src/mcp.ts:
- Line 180: Replace timestamp-based link identity in the target created from
checked.url, input.secret, and at with a unique generation ID for each wake-link
operation, and use that ID in the memory-store guards that distinguish the
current link from a replaced one. Keep linkedAt separately for host timestamp
needs.
- Line 118: Update the tool handlers registered by registerEventsShimTools to
read the current shim record for each request before calling wakeState or
producing webhook URLs, rather than relying on the potentially stale ctx.shim
snapshot. Use the existing store access path so a link marked broken by
deliverPending is reported as unlinked and queued-post guidance stays accurate.
- Line 281: Update the event_id lookup branch around publicEvent(event) to
atomically consume the event when it is still pending before returning it, so it
cannot be delivered again by a default read or relay link. Preserve historical
lookup without changing delivery state for events already marked woken or read,
and use the existing event-claim mechanism to maintain atomicity.
- Line 315: Check the existing cancellation signal at the start of each loop
iteration, before calling handOver, including on the first iteration. If
cancellation is already requested, exit through the existing cancellation path
without claiming or marking another post as read.
Review comments at @packages/events-shim/src/service.ts:
- Line 209: Update the flow around `const done = await pass` so acknowledging a
stored post does not wait for the wake-delivery pass; move forwarding to
host-managed background work, or ensure wake forwarding is enabled only when
that capability is available.
- Line 202: Update the three successful Linear ingestion response paths in the
delivery handler, including the `!target` path, to return HTTP 200 instead of
202. Preserve each path’s existing response body and behavior otherwise.
Review comments at @packages/events-shim/src/verify.ts:
- Line 119: Update the idempotency-key handling that uses explicit and
EVENTS_SHIM_LIMITS.maxIdempotencyKeyLength so distinct keys never share an
identity because of prefix truncation. Reject overlong keys at ingress or derive
the stored identity from the complete key; do not silently truncate it.
Review comments at @packages/events-shim/src/wake.ts:
- Line 94: Update the nudge-selection condition in the handler containing this
return so an unsigned Content-Type header cannot select the nudge path; require
an explicitly instruction-authorized mode or authenticated content
classification. Keep GitHub provider event bodies wrapped as untrusted data
regardless of Content-Type.
- Line 67: Update the truncated-preview branch that uses
EVENTS_SHIM_LIMITS.wakePreviewChars to include a retrieval reference containing
the wake event’s ID and directing the agent to fetch that event’s full body
through get_webhook_events. Leave non-truncated messages unchanged.
- Around line 134-135: Update the wake POST flow that uses input.secret and the
receiving Relaycast hook to deduplicate by the stable events_shim_event_id
before injecting an instruction. Persist or otherwise reliably check that
identifier across retries, and do not rely on adding a request header because
the current hook does not deduplicate from headers.

- Recover posts a temporary relay failure left pending: bounded
background re-drains, plus a drain on feed reads and watch_webhooks.

never claims for an aborted client.
- Require Linear webhookTimestamp; hash long idempotency keys whole;
a blank bearer secret returns the generated token.
