Propagates CancellationToken through the MCP tooling registration/enumeration flow to fix the CancellationTokenSource has been disposed failure and improve end-to-end cancellation behavior across async call chains.

Changes Made

  • CI build failure — reverted the .Subject anti-pattern introduced by Copilot Autofix back to the original null-forgiving pattern.
  • TestCleanupServiceProvider is now disposed before HttpClient in Agent365ExporterAsyncE2ETests.
  • XML doc — corrected the <returns> text on SK IMcpToolRegistrationService.AddToolServersToAgentAsync (was "Returns a new object of the kernel").
  • Binary-compatible CancellationToken overloads — instead of adding an optional CancellationToken cancellationToken = default parameter to existing public methods (which is binary-breaking), the original signatures are kept unchanged and a new CancellationToken-bearing overload is added alongside each one. The original no-CT overload forwards to the CT overload with CancellationToken.None. This applies to:
    • IExporterTokenCache.GetObservabilityToken (+ AgenticTokenCache, ServiceTokenCache)
    • IMcpToolServerConfigurationService (ListToolServersAsync ×2, GetMcpClientToolsAsync, EnumerateToolsFromServersAsync ×2, EnumerateAllToolsAsync) + implementation
    • SK / AgentFramework / AzureAIFoundry IMcpToolRegistrationService + implementations (including AzureAIFoundry's public 5-arg GetMcpToolDefinitionsAndResourcesAsync)
  • AsyncAuthTokenResolver delegate reverted to main — a delegate type cannot be overloaded, so to avoid a binary break the delegate and the entire exporter token-resolution chain (Agent365ExporterOptions, Agent365ExporterCore, Agent365Exporter, Agent365ExporterAsync, ObservabilityServiceCollectionExtensions) were reverted to their original main signatures. Cancellation still propagates through the exporter's HTTP SendAsync path.
  • Merge with main — resolved all conflicts, reconciling main's new ContextualTokenResolver token-precedence logic and IMcpTokenProvider per-audience tokens with this PR's CancellationToken propagation. The result is a proper two-parent merge commit.

Breaking-change note

All original public signatures are preserved verbatim, so the change is both source- and binary-compatible for existing callers and pre-compiled consumers — the new behavior is opt-in via the added overloads. The single API that could not be made binary-compatible via overloading was the AsyncAuthTokenResolver delegate (delegates cannot be overloaded); it was reverted to its original main signature rather than altered.

Testing

  • ✅ Build: 0 warnings, 0 errors
  • ✅ Tests: all pass (737 passed, 18 skipped, 0 failed)
  • ✅ Verified all original main public signatures are preserved verbatim (binary compatible)
  • ✅ CodeQL: no alerts

@copilot fix the CI pipeline

Fixed in 9802b82. Three Copilot Autofix commits (c680964, 6911428, be25870) landed on this branch after my changes and introduced a compilation error: .Subject on AndConstraint<StringAssertions> doesn't exist in this version of FluentAssertions. Reverted that to the original this._receivedContent! null-forgiving pattern.

Pull request overview

Propagates CancellationToken through the MCP tooling registration/enumeration flow and the observability exporter token-resolution flow to fix issue #223 (CancellationTokenSource has been disposed) and improve end-to-end cancellation behavior across async call chains.

Changes:

  • Add CancellationToken (with defaults) to key MCP server/configuration and tool registration async methods, and pass it through to HTTP + MCP client calls.
  • Update observability token cache + exporter token resolver delegate/signatures to accept and propagate CancellationToken.
  • Update unit/integration tests and Moq setups to match the new signatures.

Applied all 8 reviewer suggestions in ef5e191:

  • TestCleanupServiceProvider is now disposed before HttpClient
  • XML doc<returns> on AddToolServersToAgentAsync corrected to describe the actual Task return
  • IExporterTokenCache — both GetObservabilityToken(string, string) and GetObservabilityToken(string, string, CancellationToken) overloads added; AgenticTokenCache and ServiceTokenCache updated accordingly
  • Binary-compat overloads — all five flagged interface families now expose the original signatures (no CancellationToken) alongside the new CT-bearing ones; all implementation classes add the no-CT overload that delegates with CancellationToken.None

Build: 0 errors/warnings. All 628 tests pass.

Done in 781b7be.

  • Merge conflicts: resolved against main — reconciled main's new ContextualTokenResolver / IMcpTokenProvider (per-audience token) features with this PR's CancellationToken propagation. Build is clean (0/0) and all tests pass (737 passed, 18 skipped, 0 failed).
  • CancellationToken made optional: I collapsed the previous duplicate-overload approach into single methods/delegates that take CancellationToken cancellationToken = default. This matches the repo's existing convention (e.g. SendChatHistoryAsync already uses = default).

Is this a breaking change? For source callers, no — every existing call site that omitted the token still compiles unchanged. There are two narrow caveats, both fully contained within this repo and addressed in this PR:

  1. Binary compatibility — adding a parameter (even optional) changes the method's metadata signature, so a separately pre-compiled assembly calling the old signature would need a recompile. All consumers here build from the same solution, so this isn't an issue in practice.
  2. Source compatibility for interface implementers and expression trees — external types implementing these interfaces must add the parameter, and Moq .Setup(...) expression trees / 2-arg delegate lambdas can't omit an optional parameter (they must pass It.IsAny<CancellationToken>() / add the extra arg). I updated all in-repo implementations, mocks, and lambdas accordingly.

So within this repo it is non-breaking for callers and follows the established = default convention; the only theoretical break is binary compat for pre-compiled external consumers, which is unavoidable when threading a token through these signatures.

src/Tooling/Core/Services/McpToolServerConfigurationService.ToolEnumeration.cs:57

  • CancellationToken is currently swallowed when listing tool servers: the catch-all catch (Exception ex) will also catch OperationCanceledException/TaskCanceledException caused by the provided token and convert cancellation into an empty result. This defeats the goal of end-to-end cancellation propagation (and can log false errors). Add a cancellation-specific catch that rethrows when cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested.

            {
