availabilityMuacross the plugin API call.Line 225 locks the mutex for the whole function. Line 233 makes a
plugin.APIRPC call while the lock is held.plugin.APIcalls accept no context and no timeout, so a slow or hanging server serializes every concurrent caller ofIsAvailablebehind one RPC. Both call sites run on request paths: the status endpoint andValidateAgentWrite(line 249).

Concurrent misses then cause at most a few duplicate probes instead of a convoy.

In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Around line 51-52: Replace the moving master image fallback in MM_IMAGE within
.github/workflows/ci.yml lines 51-52 with the pinned release-11.11 tag once
published, while preserving the vars.MM_IMAGE override. Update
defaultMattermostImage in e2e/helpers/mmcontainer.ts lines 20-21 to the same
release-11.11 tag so CI and local E2E runs use one reproducible version.
In `@accesscontrol/checker.go`:
- Around line 220-239: Update Checker.IsAvailable to check and return a valid
cached availability value while holding availabilityMu, then release the lock
before calling papi.GetAccessControlVisualAST. After the probe completes,
reacquire availabilityMu to publish availabilityValue and availabilityChecked,
allowing concurrent cache misses to perform duplicate probes without holding the
mutex across the plugin API call.
In `@accesscontrol/pap_test.go`:
- Around line 95-112: Add a table-driven test for the nil-plugin-API behavior in
the PAP checker, using New(PassthroughClient{}, nil, NoMCPServerIDs, nil). Cover
GetPolicy and DeletePolicy returning ErrPolicyNotFound, and SavePolicy,

Adding a plugin-side enforcement point (accesscontrol) that gates agents, LLM services, and MCP servers by Mattermost ABAC decisions is the right placement: the PEP should sit on the request path, not enumerate-time. Two seams:
That decision-bound-to-call plus recomputable-evidence pattern is the core of what I build: control what the agent can do, see what actually executed, prove recomputably. On https://agentkey.us. |

Should we also apply restrictions to using the MCP servers though the external MCP server?
Another thing going on here is that if a user that was previously denied an MCP server is then allowed to connect to it, it won't because the non-connected user client won't try to reconnect to that server.

Do we need a min version bump? Or can we just disable this feature?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'd prefer to keep it as a min bump (this will actually need to bump to v12 because of some hardening on the Plugin API side here: mattermost/mattermost#37926 that hasn't merged yet) for simplicity. Juggling version checks to shut off entire features adds a bunch of branching I'd like to avoid. We can't just treat a missing API as disabled because things need to fail closed

Why the rename? Of course the function should check for access controls.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
From the API level this is about getting the high level servers that the user has access too so it's semantically different. GetToolsForUser still exists elsewhere and is called to get the actual tools list itself. Basically, this one prevents "Github" showing up in the tools list at all, while the latter only would have "github" just with an empty list

I think this legacy check thing is something like in the first PR we can remove and just trust the migration to happen.

"legacy" in this context is the old allow/block/none lists for users and teams. It's not migration related

I think this needs to check the whole fallback chain or something right? The fallback is automatic within Bifrost and doesn't report to us.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yep good call. Rather than requiring access to the full chain, I have opted to truncate the chain at the point that a fallback is inaccessible. Ex:
A, B allowed, C denied → use A, fall back to B, drop C
A, C allowed, B denied → use A only; drop B and C
I think this will be less cumbersome from a UX perspective when configuring the fallbacks

There is a bypass for system admins here but not for the actual checks, unless this is built into the ABAC policy stuff?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Intentional split - system admins skip the service policy only on list/get so they can see the catalog, since they're the only authors right now. Everything else (ie, the actual usage of the service) goes through CanUseService
Use and list only require the primary service; Bifrost attaches the allowed fallback prefix. Cached MCP clients reconnect remotes after deny-then-allow, and the shared HTTP MCP endpoint filters tools/list and tools/call per user. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
…ack prefix once Cache hits no longer re-dial down remotes or accumulate connect errors; a user client stores the denied-origin snapshot it was built with and is force-refreshed only when an origin flips to allowed.

Good catches. External MCP server (which includes publicly broadcasted plugin MCP) now gates on the ABAC policy as well. The cached user client will now force-refresh the client if a policy flips that was previously denied. |
