  1. Redirect console.log to stderr to prevent conflict with MCP StdioServerTransport which hijacks stdout for protocol messages, corrupting both agent output and MCP communication.

  2. Wire up the unused lastMentionId field to pass since_id on the mentions API call, avoiding redundant refetches of the same tweets every polling cycle.

  3. Add null guard in fetchThread before accessing response.data to prevent null dereference crashes when the API returns unexpected data.

  4. Copy the tweets array before sorting in parseThread to avoid mutating the caller's data via Array.sort() in-place side effect.

  5. Cap processedMentions Set at 10,000 entries and prune oldest to prevent unbounded memory growth in long-running deployments.

Summary of Changes

Hello @groupthinking, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses several runtime stability and performance issues identified during a debugging pass. The changes focus on robust error handling for API responses, optimizing data fetching to reduce redundant calls, preventing unintended data mutations, and implementing memory management strategies to ensure the application remains stable and efficient over time. These fixes collectively enhance the agent's reliability and resource utilization.

Highlights

  • Console Output Redirection: Redirected console.log output to stderr to prevent conflicts with the MCP StdioServerTransport, which uses stdout for protocol messages, ensuring proper agent output and MCP communication.
  • Efficient Mentions Fetching: Implemented since_id parameter in the mentions API call using lastMentionId to avoid refetching already processed tweets, optimizing polling cycles and reducing redundant API calls.
  • API Response Null Guard: Added a null guard in the fetchThread function to check response.data before access, preventing null dereference crashes when the API returns unexpected or empty data.
  • Immutable Array Sorting: Modified parseThread to create a copy of the tweets array before sorting. This prevents unintended mutation of the caller's data due to Array.sort()'s in-place side effect.
  • Memory Management for Processed Mentions: Introduced a cap of 10,000 entries for the processedMentions Set and implemented logic to prune the oldest entries, preventing unbounded memory growth in long-running deployments.
Changelog
  • src/index.ts
    • Redirected console.log to console.error to avoid conflicts with stdout usage by MCP StdioServerTransport.
  • src/services/agent.ts
    • Added MAX_PROCESSED_MENTIONS constant to define the maximum size of the processedMentions Set.
    • Implemented logic to prune the oldest entries from processedMentions when its size exceeds the defined maximum, preventing memory leaks.
  • src/services/xapi.ts
    • Modified fetchMentions to include since_id in the API request URL if this.lastMentionId is available, and updated this.lastMentionId with the newest mention ID after a successful fetch.
    • Added a null/undefined check for response.data in fetchThread to prevent crashes from unexpected API responses.
    • Changed parseThread to create a shallow copy of the tweets array using the spread operator ([...tweets]) before sorting, ensuring the original array is not mutated.

Code Review

This pull request introduces several important runtime bug fixes that improve the agent's stability, efficiency, and correctness. The changes address potential crashes from null data, prevent a memory leak by capping processed mentions, avoid redundant API calls by using since_id, and prevent data mutation side effects by correctly copying an array before sorting. My review includes a couple of suggestions to further improve code robustness and maintainability.

Building URLs via string concatenation can be fragile and hard to read. Using URLSearchParams provides a more robust and maintainable way to construct URLs with query parameters, as it handles proper encoding and separation of parameters automatically.

      const params = new URLSearchParams({
        max_results: '10',
        expansions: 'author_id',
        'tweet.fields': 'created_at,conversation_id,in_reply_to_user_id,referenced_tweets',
      });
      if (this.lastMentionId) {
        params.set('since_id', this.lastMentionId);
      }
      const mentionsUrl = `https://api.twitter.com/2/users/${userId}/mentions?${params.toString()}`;

Pull request overview

This PR addresses several runtime/operational issues in MyXstack’s polling + MCP runtime by preventing stdout corruption, reducing redundant mention refetching, hardening thread parsing, and bounding in-memory state growth.

Changes:

  • Redirects console.log output away from stdout to avoid MCP stdio protocol corruption.
  • Adds since_id pagination via lastMentionId to reduce redundant mention refetches.
  • Hardens thread parsing (null-guard) and avoids in-place mutation when sorting thread tweets; caps processed mention tracking to prevent unbounded memory growth.

fetchThread() now only checks response.data for truthiness, but parseThread() expects an array and will still throw if response.data is a non-array object (which can happen with unexpected API shapes). Consider guarding with Array.isArray(response.data) (and returning null otherwise) before calling parseThread().

The pruning loop deletes iter.next().value as string, which relies on a type assertion and would silently pass undefined if iteration were ever exhausted. Prefer reading { value, done } from iter.next() and breaking if done, which keeps the code type-safe and avoids the assertion.

Suggested change
this.processedMentions.delete(iter.next().value as string);
const { value, done } = iter.next();
if (done) {
break;
}
this.processedMentions.delete(value);

Prompt Yourself: Solution for failing job 62936698644 in MyXstack repo (PR #26)

Problem:

  • Failure Reason: The logs show HttpError: Resource not accessible by integration, emitted by a GitHub Action step using github-script. This typically means the GitHub token does not have sufficient permissions, often occurring when trying to interact with PRs from forked repos or when the workflow’s permissions are too restrictive.

Solution Path:

  1. Update workflow permissions in .github/workflows/pr-checks.yml.
  2. Ensure the GitHub Actions token includes write permission for pull requests.

Actionable Fix:
Edit your workflow file (.github/workflows/pr-checks.yml). At the top, under permissions, set:

permissions:
  pull-requests: write
  contents: read

Example minimal edit:

name: PR Checks
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
permissions:
  pull-requests: write
  contents: read
jobs:
  # ... (rest of your job definitions)

If you're using the default GITHUB_TOKEN, this permissions block grants write access for posting comments or status updates on PRs.

If PRs come from forks, also ensure you’re not using secrets that skip steps on forked runs.

References:

Prompt Yourself Actions:

  • “GitHub Copilot, generate the fixed .github/workflows/pr-checks.yml.”
  • “GitHub Copilot, confirm minimal permissions necessary for posting to PRs.”

Summary: Set pull-requests: write in workflow permissions. Re-run the workflow. This should resolve the Resource not accessible by integration error.

fetchThread returns early when response.data is falsy, but it still passes through cases where response.data is present but not an array (e.g., an object from an unexpected API shape). In that case parseThread() will throw when it reads tweets.length. Please validate response.data with Array.isArray(...) (and handle the non-array case) before calling parseThread.

Suggested change
if (!Array.isArray(response.data)) {
console.warn('Unexpected response shape from X API (thread): data is not an array');
return null;
}

The pruning logic deletes the first values in the Set, which are the earliest inserted IDs, not necessarily the oldest mention by time. Since mentions appear to be processed in the API response order (and fetchMentions treats index 0 as “newest”), this can end up pruning newer mentions first. Either process mentions oldest→newest before inserting into processedMentions, or change the wording/approach so the eviction policy matches the intended behavior.

parseThread’s parameter type still uses an index signature with any, which weakens type safety under strict mode and makes it easier for unexpected shapes to slip through (especially since this method assumes an array-like input). Consider using unknown instead of any for the extra fields (or define a minimal tweet shape type) to avoid accidentally relying on untyped properties.
