fix(server): tell outside agents which MCP tools need a thread and that t3_thread_list takes allProjects - #26525
An MCP client signed in from outside any T3 thread sees every tool, but the ones that act as the calling thread (subagents, secrets, rendered HTML, browser preview, devices, worktree handoff, environment linking) fail with thread_credential_required, and docs/user/outside-agents.md never says so. t3_thread_list {} from such a client fails with target_required "Pass projectId: this MCP client is not running inside a T3 thread.", although allProjects: true works, so agents conclude cross-project listing is impossible.
Reproduced on main 5211acf with a fresh dev server and a full-access mcp-client session issued the way t3 thread signs in: tools/list returned all 66 tools, create_threads, delegate_task, task_status, html_render, t3_worktree_status and preview_status failed with thread_credential_required, t3_thread_list {} failed as above, and t3_thread_list { allProjects: true } succeeded.
Change
listThreads passes its own target_required message to resolveProjectTarget: "Pass projectId, or allProjects: true for every project." schedule_task, which shares the helper and has no allProjects, keeps its message. The error code is unchanged.
docs/user/outside-agents.md gets a short "What outside agents can call" section: which tool groups need an agent inside a T3 thread, and the replacements (t3_thread_launch then t3_thread_wait/t3_thread_read; explicit projectId/threadId; t3_thread_list with allProjects: true or t3_thread_search).
No tool is hidden from tools/list and no tool description changes.
vp test run apps/server/src/mcp/OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts: 38/38 pass. The new test OrchestratorMcpService thread list > points a caller outside any thread at allProjects when it omits projectId fails on main with expected 'Pass projectId: this MCP client is no…' to include 'allProjects'.
vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages), tests (2 files) all pass.
Runtime transcript, same driver against fresh dev servers on each side (server-only change, no rendered UI, so no captures):
t3_thread_list {} from an outside full-access client
…hat t3_thread_list takes allProjects
An MCP client outside any T3 thread that calls t3_thread_list without
projectId is now told it can pass allProjects: true. The error code stays
target_required, and schedule_task keeps its existing message.
docs/user/outside-agents.md now says which tools act as the calling thread
and fail with thread_credential_required from outside, and names
t3_thread_launch with t3_thread_wait/t3_thread_read, allProjects and
t3_thread_search as the replacements.

Walkthrough
The change updates the missing-target error for t3_thread_list and adds documentation about outside-agent tool limits, handoff alternatives, and thread and project targeting.
resolveProjectTarget accepts a custom missing-target message. listThreads directs callers without a T3 thread to pass projectId or set allProjects: true. A test checks the error code and message.
The documentation identifies tools that require an in-thread caller and describes handoff alternatives, explicit project or thread identifiers, and cross-project listing options.
pingdotgg/t3code#26442: Adds the allProjects input and cross-project listing behavior referenced by this change.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 68353
The new error message and test are fine. The outside-agent guide overstates the explicit-ID requirement and describes search as equivalent to listing threads. Fixing the wording would help readers, but it does not block merge.

Explanation
Issue #26515 requires outside-agent guidance, replacement workflows, and an allProjects hint. The current guide adds the required "What outside agents can call" section. It identifies thread-only tool groups and explains the thread_credential_required behavior. It names t3_thread_launch with t3_thread_wait or t3_thread_read, explicit projectId or threadId, and t3_thread_list with allProjects: true or t3_thread_search. The service supplies the required target_required message for listThreads, and the added test checks the error code and allProjects guidance.

resolveProjectTarget returns an Effect and is reused by scheduleTask and listThreads. Define it with Effect.fnUntraced instead of extending the plain arrow function.
Proposed refactor
- const resolveProjectTarget = (+ const resolveProjectTarget = Effect.fnUntraced(function* (
parent: Pick<OrchestrationV2ThreadProjection, "thread"> | undefined,
projectId: ProjectId | undefined,
missingMessage = "Pass projectId: this MCP client is not running inside a T3 thread.",
- ) =>- projectId !== undefined- ? Effect.succeed(projectId)- : parent !== undefined- ? Effect.succeed(parent.thread.projectId)- : Effect.fail(failure("target_required", missingMessage));+ ) {+ if (projectId !== undefined) return projectId;+ if (parent !== undefined) return parent.thread.projectId;+ return yield* Effect.fail(failure("target_required", missingMessage));+ });
As per coding guidelines, reusable functions that return an Effect must use Effect.fn or Effect.fnUntraced.

users will always see that code.
- Around line 96-97: Update the thread-discovery guidance in the documentation

query-based, limited to 50 matches, and excluding subagents and side chats.

Qualify the explicit-ID requirement.
Outside a thread, t3_thread_search and list_scheduled_tasks default to all projects when projectId is omitted. Requiring an ID here can prevent agents from using those cross-project results. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Distinguish search from a complete list of active threads.
Search requires a query and excludes subagents. It also returns at most 50 matches. The list includes subagents by default, but callers must follow nextCursor to get all pages. Neither tool lists archived threads or side chats.

Preview and device tools answer an outside client with the message text
only, without the thread_credential_required code, and the environment
link tools are not in an outside client's list by default. Describe the
shared message instead and drop linking from the thread-only list.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Approve an external HTTP MCP client with Full access and no calling thread. List tools, call t3_thread_list({}), t3_thread_list({allProjects:true}), delegate_task, preview_status, and device_list, then read the outside-agent guide. Both sides used real isolated development servers with fresh databases and the same driver.
Empty-list error mentions only projectId; guide lacks the thread-bound tools section.
Empty-list error also suggests allProjects: true; guide explains thread-bound tools and supported handoffs.
allProjects: true succeeds on both. delegate_task returns thread_credential_required; preview and device tools return plain-text refusals without that code. The head guide now correctly describes all three as errors requiring an agent inside T3 Code.
Limitation: the app's MCP onboarding dialog reported that T3 Connect was unavailable, so OAuth approval was completed through the real server endpoints rather than that UI route. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
Exact onboarding through the app's “Use T3 Code in another app (MCP)” flow: the head dialog reported “T3 Connect is not available in this build.” Real OAuth registration, Full access approval, token exchange, and external MCP calls succeeded through server endpoints on both commits.
The recommended t3_thread_launch followed by t3_thread_wait or t3_thread_read workflow was verified as guidance in the head document, but no agent turn was launched.
Other named thread-bound categories, including secret requests, rendered HTML, and worktree handoff, were not called.
