Implement domain-namespaced tool registry for MCP server

[google-labs-jules]

Why This Change Is Necessary

Previously, the MCP server registered all prompts, workflows, and skills into a single flat list. In enterprise AI applications, this lack of segregation poses severe operational and safety risks:

1. Lack of Isolation: High-stakes clinical tools were mixed with creative or lifestyle assets, making it difficult for client-side agents to safely restrict tool availability.
2. Name Collisions: If two different domains had tools with the same base filename (e.g., a data_validation workflow in both the business and clinical domains), the server would experience collisions and registration overwrites.

By introducing domain-namespacing (e.g., clinical__breast_cancer_trial and business__data_validation), we enable enterprise AI architects to dynamically route and isolate tools using simple prefix filtering (e.g., matching only clinical__* for medical assistants).

Key Decisions & Technical Implementation

1. Dynamic Domain & Category Extraction

• We now derive the category/domain of a tool dynamically using metadata tags, YAML metadata fields, or parent folder fallbacks.
• The extracted domain name is normalized to be lowercase and fully alphanumeric (with underscores as word separators).

2. Domain Prefixing and Sanitization

• Tools are registered with the format: [domain]__[tool_name].
• We adjusted the server's name sanitization logic to preserve the double-underscore (__) delimiter, ensuring that standard sanitization does not collapse this critical namespace boundary.

3. MCP Protocol-Compliant Truncation

• To prevent exceeding the MCP protocol's character limits, any generated namespaced tool name that exceeds 64 characters is truncated to 55 characters and appended with a unique, deterministic 8-character hash (totaling 63 characters). This prevents namespace collision while remaining fully compliant with MCP limits.

4. Execution Pipeline Resolution

• We integrated the namespace mapping directly into get_tool_name_mcp during the discovery phase.
• Incoming tool executions with fully-namespaced names are resolved seamlessly back to their original workspace files and underlying assets.

Verification and Testing

• Unit Tests Updated & Added:
  • Updated existing test suite assertions in tests/test_utils.py to match namespaced behavior.
  • Added test_namespaced_tool_registry_and_truncation to verify domain-namespacing, long name truncation, unique hash generation, name collision avoidance across domains, and explicit domain override metadata.
• Results: All unit tests successfully passed with 100% coverage for registry namespaces.
