From 0dc5470a581a1dfaa83092bfeb9bbc425c2d9e07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toad Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 06:15:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Add read-only VCS CLI and issue tracker MCP access to ribbit Ribbit agents now get restricted Bash access for the configured VCS CLI (gh for GitHub, glab for GitLab) and can connect to the issue tracker via MCP when both issue_tracker and mcp are enabled in config. - RunOpts gains AllowedBashCommands and MCPServers fields - buildArgs extends --allowedTools with Bash(cmd:*) patterns for each allowed command prefix; writes a temp MCP config file when MCPServers is set (cleaned up after the agent exits) - ribbit.Engine stores VCS, IssueTracker, and MCP config; Respond() populates both new RunOpts fields based on configured platform - ribbitPrompt updated to instruct the agent on read-only-only use of VCS CLI and issue tracker MCP tools --- internal/agent/claude.go | 55 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- internal/agent/claude_test.go | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- internal/agent/provider.go | 24 +++++++++----- internal/ribbit/ribbit.go | 32 ++++++++++++++++-- internal/ribbit/ribbit_test.go | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 192 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/internal/agent/claude.go b/internal/agent/claude.go index ab33dad..5a218ba 100644 --- a/internal/agent/claude.go +++ b/internal/agent/claude.go @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ import ( "encoding/json" "fmt" "log/slog" + "os" "os/exec" "strings" "time" @@ -23,7 +24,8 @@ func (c *ClaudeProvider) Check() error { } func (c *ClaudeProvider) Run(ctx context.Context, opts RunOpts) (*RunResult, error) { - args := buildArgs(opts) + args, cleanup := buildArgs(opts) + defer cleanup() callCtx := ctx var cancel context.CancelFunc @@ -120,7 +122,10 @@ func (c *ClaudeProvider) Resume(ctx context.Context, sessionID, prompt, workDir } // buildArgs constructs the Claude CLI argument list from RunOpts. -func buildArgs(opts RunOpts) []string { +// The returned cleanup function must be called when the args are no longer needed. +func buildArgs(opts RunOpts) ([]string, func()) { + cleanup := func() {} + args := []string{ "--print", "--output-format", "json", @@ -138,7 +143,18 @@ func buildArgs(opts RunOpts) []string { args = append(args, "--permission-mode", "acceptEdits", "--allowedTools", "Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep,Bash,Agent") case PermissionReadOnly: - args = append(args, "--allowedTools", "Read,Glob,Grep") + tools := "Read,Glob,Grep" + for _, cmd := range opts.AllowedBashCommands { + tools += ",Bash(" + cmd + ":*)" + } + args = append(args, "--allowedTools", tools) + } + + if len(opts.MCPServers) > 0 { + if path, err := writeMCPConfig(opts.MCPServers);
