""" Top-level orchestration guide surfaced to every MCP session.
Sent to the client via ` FastMCP ( instructions = . . . ) ` — the client bakes
this into its system prompt , so every LLM session sees it before the
first tool call . Prefer procedural orchestration here ( call order , error
handling , hard constraints ) . Design - level per - field guidance belongs in
each ` PropertySpec . llm_hint ` ; it flows out through ` get_node_type ` and
doesn ' t need to be repeated here.
2026-05-20 18:43:18 +05:30
Tool names , parameters , and per - tool ` error_code ` values are NOT
authoritative here — they reach the model dynamically via ` tools / list `
from each tool ' s own signature and docstring. Reference tools by bare
name and describe orchestration ; do not restate signatures ( they drift )
or re - enumerate error codes ( document those on the tool itself ) .
` test_mcp_instructions_drift . py ` fails if this guide names a tool that
is not registered , or if a tool ' s error codes aren ' t in its docstring .

Extend based on real LLM failures — every bullet below ideally maps to a
mistake the system has seen at least once .

## Call order
feat(mcp): add search_docs tool over docs corpus (closes #295) (#316)
* feat(mcp): add search_docs tool over Mintlify docs corpus
Closes #295. The docs at https://docs.dograh.com promise "Search the
Dograh docs for how to configure a TURN server" as an MCP example
prompt, but no search_docs tool exists in the MCP server — agents can
list workspace resources but cannot search the documentation.
This adds a dependency-free, in-process keyword search over the
`docs/` tree shipped into the API image (`COPY ./docs ./docs`):
- New `api/mcp_server/tools/docs_search.py` — async `search_docs(query,
limit=10)` with weighted scoring (path > title > body), a 25-result
hard cap, snippet extraction around the first term hit, and graceful
empty-list degradation when docs aren't on disk. `DOGRAH_DOCS_PATH`
env var overrides location discovery for non-Docker layouts.
- Registered in `api/mcp_server/server.py` alongside the other tools,
keeping the existing list-alphabetical convention.
- `api/tests/test_mcp_docs_search.py` — 18 unit tests covering the
pure helpers (tokenizer, frontmatter stripping, title extraction,
scoring weights, URL building) and end-to-end ranking, limit
clamping, empty-corpus degradation, and input-validation errors.
Mocks `authenticate_mcp_request` to avoid the DB dependency,
mirroring `test_mcp_save_workflow.py`.
Implementation notes:
- The docs corpus is ~100 files / ~140k LoC, so a per-call scan runs
well under 50 ms; avoiding a vector index / embedding backend keeps
the tool zero-dependency and works for fully offline self-hosted
deployments.
- Authentication is required for consistency with the other MCP tools
(and to route through the existing rate-limit middleware), even
though docs are not org-scoped data.
- Title/path matches deliberately outweigh body matches so a page
whose subject IS the query term outranks one that merely mentions
it incidentally.

### Reading documentation
2026-05-20 18:43:18 +05:30
1. ` search_docs ` — use first for keyword or acronym lookup when the user is asking how Dograh works or how to configure something .
2. ` read_doc ` — fetch the full page once one result looks likely . Prefer this over reasoning from search summaries alone .
3. ` list_docs ` — use when the user wants to browse a topic area or when search terms are too vague . Call it with no arguments for the top - level sections ; returned section paths feed back into ` list_docs ` , returned page paths feed into ` read_doc ` .

2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
### Editing an existing workflow
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
1. ` list_workflows ` — locate the target workflow .
2026-05-20 18:43:18 +05:30
2. ` get_workflow_code ` — fetch the current source for that workflow .
3. ( optional ) ` list_node_types ` / ` get_node_type ` — consult before adding or editing a node type whose fields aren ' t already visible in the current code.
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
4. Mutate the code in place . Preserve existing nodes , edges , and variable names unless the task requires removing or renaming them .
2026-05-20 18:43:18 +05:30
5. ` save_workflow ` — persist as a new draft . The published version is untouched .
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
### Creating a new workflow
1. Create a simple 1 - node workflow with only ` startCall ` . The user can iteratively add complexity by editing it .
2026-05-20 18:43:18 +05:30
2. ` list_node_types ` / ` get_node_type ` — consult to learn the fields available on the node types you intend to use .
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
3. Author SDK TypeScript from scratch . The ` new Workflow ( { name : " ... " } ) ` call is required — ` name ` becomes the workflow ' s display name.
2026-05-20 18:43:18 +05:30
4. ` create_workflow ` — persists a new workflow as version 1 ( published ) . Returns the new ` workflow_id ` . For subsequent edits use ` save_workflow ` ( which writes a draft ) .
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
## Allowed source shape
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
The parser is AST - only and rejects anything outside this grammar . At the top level , only three statement forms are accepted :
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
import . . . from " ... " ; / / any import
const < var > = < initializer > ; / / bindings ( see below )
wf . edge ( < src > , < tgt > , { label , condition } ) ; / / bare edge calls
` < initializer > ` is one of :
new Workflow ( { name : " ... " } )
wf . addTyped ( < factory > ( { . . . fields } ) [ , { position : [ x , y ] } ] )
wf . add ( { type : " <nodeType> " , . . . fields [ , position : [ x , y ] ] } )
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
No functions , arrow fns , loops , conditionals , ternaries , spreads , destructuring , template interpolation , ` export ` , or ` . map ` / ` . forEach ` .
Data - position values must be plain literals ( strings , numbers , booleans , null , arrays / objects of same ) . A single ` new Workflow ( . . . ) ` per file — the ` name ` you pass there is the workflow ' s display name and is applied on save (renames propagate immediately; definition changes go to draft).
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
## Adding edges — explicit syntax
wf . edge ( source , target , { label : " ... " , condition : " ... " } ) ;
Rules :
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
- ` source ` and ` target ` are the * * bare variable identifiers * * bound by ` wf . addTyped ( . . . ) ` / ` wf . add ( . . . ) ` — not strings , not ` . id ` , not inline factories . Both must be declared earlier in the file .
- ` label ` is a short tag ( ≤ 4 words ) shown in call logs to identify the branch : ` " qualified " ` , ` " wrap up " ` , ` " retry " ` .
- ` condition ` is a full natural - language predicate the runtime evaluates against the live conversation : ` " caller confirmed interest in a demo " ` , not ` " interested " ` . Condition clarity determines routing accuracy .
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
- Both fields are required and must be non - empty strings .
- Edges are directional ; emit one ` wf . edge ( . . . ) ` per outgoing branch .
- Place all edges after all node bindings ; group by source node .
Example :
const greet = wf . addTyped ( startCall ( { name : " Greet " , prompt : " Hi! " } ) ) ;
const done = wf . addTyped ( endCall ( { name : " Done " , prompt : " Bye. " } ) ) ;
wf . edge ( greet , done , {
label : " wrap up " ,
condition : " user acknowledged the greeting and is ready to end "
} ) ;
## Iterating on errors
2026-05-20 18:43:18 +05:30
A failed ` save_workflow ` / ` create_workflow ` returns a result with ` saved ` / ` created ` set to false , a machine - readable ` error_code ` , and a human - readable ` error ` message — carrying ` line ` and ` column ` when the problem is locatable in your source . The full set of ` error_code ` values and their meanings is documented on each tool ( visible in its description ) . Read the ` error ` message , fix at the reported location , and resubmit the * * complete source * * — these tools do not accept patches . If a failure looks internal or transient rather than a problem with your code , retry once before surfacing it to the user .
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
## Field conventions
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
- ` data . name ` is the canonical identifier . Pick a descriptive name ( ` " Qualify Budget " ` , not ` " Node1 " ` ) — the generated code uses it as the variable name and call logs reference it .
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
- Reference fields take UUIDs , not human names :
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
- ` tool_refs ` , ` document_refs ` → from ` list_tools ` , ` list_documents `
- ` credential_ref ` → from ` list_credentials `
- ` recording_ref ` → from ` list_recordings `
- ` mention_textarea ` fields ( prompts , greetings , etc . ) accept ` { { template_variables } } ` — values resolved at runtime from ` pre_call_fetch ` , caller context , or earlier extraction passes .
2026-04-21 07:56:16 +05:30
## Style
- Prefer ` wf . addTyped ( factory ( { . . . } ) ) ` over ` wf . add ( { type , . . . } ) ` .
2026-04-25 17:38:38 +05:30
- Only include fields whose values differ from the spec default — the parser re - applies defaults on save , so extras are noise .
- Omit ` position ` ; the server reconciles positions against the previous saved workflow and lays out new nodes automatically .
- Add nodes in call - flow order ( start → intermediate → end ) so the generated code reads top - to - bottom , with all edges after all nodes .
