Summary

  • bound context, digest, and MCP configuration processing with per-file, item-count, aggregate-input, aggregate-result, and final-output byte limits
  • bind context lock and report digest checks to the descriptor-bound scan snapshot, including symlink alias and post-read selection validation
  • fail closed with fixed sanitized errors on resource, encoding, repository-containment, or path-race failures

Verification

  • focused context, digest, MCP, surface, report, race, resource, and output-boundary tests
  • local pytest -q
  • changelog checker, Python compile check, actionlint, and git diff --cached --check
  • independent security/regression review reached no remaining findings

Non-goals

  • no runtime MCP execution, live OAuth validation, or generic secret scanning
  • no release, tag, or PyPI action

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added bounded processing for context inventories, digest checks, and MCP configuration scans.
    • Added safeguards to keep file access within the repository and reject unsafe or changing files.
    • Added limits for input sizes, file counts, configuration complexity, and generated results.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of missing, invalid, oversized, relocated, or unsupported files.
    • Standardized sanitized error responses that avoid exposing sensitive local data.
    • Added consistent output limits and fallback responses across commands.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for resource limits, path and symlink safety, output handling, and Windows file boundaries.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@yui-stingray, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 115 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds race-resistant bounded file reads, distinct-input budgets, repository containment checks, scan and output limits, snapshot validation, and sanitized deterministic errors across context, digest, MCP, inventory, reporting, and CLI commands.

Changes

Bounded scanning and deterministic failures

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repository reader and input budget
src/agent_guard/bounded_repo_reader.py
Adds bounded regular-file reads, POSIX and Windows containment checks, stable receipts, identity validation, and distinct-input byte budgets.
Context scanning and snapshot integrity
src/agent_guard/context_guard.py, src/agent_guard/context_lock.py, tests/test_context_guard.py
Adds bounded glob matching, repository-contained traversal, inventory receipts, alias tracking, aggregate result limits, and snapshot drift validation.
Digest policy and scan limits
src/agent_guard/digest_guard.py
Adds bounded policy and content reads, shared input budgets, check-count limits, containment validation, and aggregate finding limits.
MCP discovery and report limits
src/agent_guard/mcp_guard.py, src/agent_guard/surface_inventory_mcp.py, src/agent_guard/surface_inventory_context.py
Adds bounded MCP policy/configuration reads, safe discovery, object-graph and server limits, surface budgets, and injected inventory reuse.
CLI orchestration and bounded emission
src/agent_guard/cli/*, tests/test_context_mcp_resource_limits.py, tests/test_windows_file_boundaries.py, CHANGELOG.md, tests/test_contract_stability.py
Routes command output through bounded UTF-8 renderers, shares input budgets across scans, reuses collected data, emits sanitized fallbacks, and adds resource, race, containment, Windows, and changelog tests.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1ed23

The PR adds bounded context and MCP input handling, but the current head can reject valid Windows paths, fail on unrelated repository entries, bypass plain-text output safeguards with a traceback, and produce budget, descriptor, or output-ordering errors. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and reliability issues to be fixed.

Poem

I’m a rabbit guarding each byte,
With receipts tucked neat and tight.
Symlinks turn, but paths stay bound,
Safe small errors make no sound.
MCP and context hop with cheer,
Bounded scans bring carrots near.

Inline comments:
In `@src/agent_guard/bounded_repo_reader.py`:
- Around line 145-148: Update the traversal loop in the relative-path handling
to assign the newly opened descriptor to directory_fd before closing the
previous descriptor, ensuring cleanup closes next_fd if os.close fails. Preserve
the existing directory traversal behavior.
- Around line 213-216: Update the containment check using
_windows_final_handle_path so repo_root and the resolved final handle path
remain in the same Windows namespace, including volume-GUID and extended (\\?\)
roots; normalize both through the same prefix-preserving API before commonpath
comparison. Add Windows coverage for both root forms while preserving rejection
of paths outside normalized_root.

In `@src/agent_guard/cli/common.py`:
- Around line 52-67: Update emit_public_output to flush the sys.stdout text
layer before writing encoded bytes through sys.stdout.buffer, preserving output
order when earlier text was written via sys.stdout.write or print. Keep the
existing fallback, write validation, and error handling unchanged.

In `@src/agent_guard/cli/context.py`:
- Around line 337-349: Update the first list element in the plain_text
construction near context-lock output to wrap the adjacent string literals in
parentheses, preserving their implicit concatenation while clearing Ruff ISC004.

In `@src/agent_guard/cli/report.py`:
- Around line 326-342: Update the report flow around digest_policy,
build_context_lock_report, and scan_digests to create a separate digest input
budget for digest policy loading and digest scanning, rather than reusing
context_input_budget. Keep context_input_budget exclusively for
build_context_lock_report, and pass the fresh digest budget to
load_digest_policy and scan_digests.

In `@src/agent_guard/cli/surface.py`:
- Around line 61-66: Update the plain-text branch of run_surface_inventory
around emit_public_output to enforce the same output budget as the JSON branch
and catch ValueError from emission, returning exit code 2 instead of allowing a
traceback. Match the established guarded behavior used by the equivalent
emitters in context.py, digest.py, and mcp.py.

In `@src/agent_guard/context_guard.py`:
- Around line 809-829: Separate the traversal-entry counter from the
selected-file counter in the context scanning flow. Add a dedicated traversal
ceiling for every os.scandir entry, while retaining MAX_CONTEXT_SCAN_FILES
exclusively for files that pass exclusion and selection; update the checks
around the visible pending traversal loop accordingly.

In `@tests/test_context_mcp_resource_limits.py`:
- Around line 321-365: Update
test_context_inventory_rejects_exact_aggregate_plus_one and
test_mcp_inventory_rejects_exact_aggregate_plus_one to construct the aggregate
limit using divmod rather than relying on floor division; create full-sized
files for the quotient, add a remainder-sized padding file when the remainder is
nonzero, then add one additional byte and retain the existing limit-error
assertions.
