Document the per-graph MCP surface (POST /graphs/{id}/mcp, shipped in the
preceding commits and landing under v0.8.0) and the `.gq` authoring controls
that shape stored-query tools.
- New docs/user/operations/mcp.md: the client-facing guide — transport, tool
catalog (built-ins + stored queries), projection modes, structured output,
authorization (call-authoritative + list-relaxation), Host/Origin policy, the
protocol-version contract.
- docs/user/operations/server.md: the /mcp endpoint + an "MCP surface" section;
docs/user/index.md: a "Connect an MCP agent" pointer.
- docs/user/queries/index.md: an Annotations section — query @description /
@instruction / @mcp(expose, tool_name) and per-parameter @description.
- AGENTS.md: topic-table row + MCP note on the HTTP-server capability row.
- docs/dev/testing.md: the omnigraph-mcp crate + server tests/mcp.rs.
- docs/dev/rfc-005 §D5: retire the "cluster = everything exposed" bridge —
cluster mode honors source `@mcp(expose: …)`; presentation vs authorization
split made explicit.
- skills/omnigraph: server-policy.md MCP section; stored-queries.md corrected
(per-query controls now ship via @mcp, not "planned"); SKILL.md MCP triggers,
Deep Dives row, version → 0.8.0.
- docs/releases/v0.8.0.md: the MCP surface + authoring-controls release notes.
Crate version manifests are deliberately NOT bumped — that is the v0.8.0
release-cut step; this lands on the feature branch.

# Query Language (`.gq`)
|
||
|
||
## Query declarations
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
query <name>(@description("…") $p1: T1, $p2: T2?, …)
|
||
@description("…") @instruction("…") @mcp(tool_name: "…", expose: true) {
|
||
…
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Two body shapes:
|
||
|
||
- **Read**: `match { … } return { … } [order { … }] [limit N]` — covered on this page.
|
||
- **Mutation**: one or more of `insert | update | delete` statements — see [mutations](../mutations/index.md).
|
||
|
||
Multi-modal search functions (`nearest`, `bm25`, `rrf`, …) used inside `match`,
|
||
`return`, and `order` are documented on the [search](../search/index.md) page.
|
||
|
||
Param types reuse all schema scalars; trailing `?` makes a param optional. The compiler reserves `$__nanograph_now` for `now()`.
|
||
|
||
### Annotations
|
||
|
||
Annotations after the param list are optional and order-independent:
|
||
|
||
- `@description("…")` — human-readable summary of the query (shown in the
|
||
stored-query catalog and as the MCP tool description).
|
||
- `@instruction("…")` — agent-facing *how/when to use* guidance. It is folded
|
||
into the [MCP](../operations/mcp.md) tool description (appended after
|
||
`@description`), so an agent reading `tools/list` sees it.
|
||
- `@mcp(...)` — **MCP-presentation** controls for when the query is served as an
|
||
agent tool (see [mcp.md](../operations/mcp.md)). Both keys are optional:
|
||
- `tool_name: "<name>"` — the tool id to expose the query under (default: the
|
||
query name). Must be unique across exposed queries and must not shadow a
|
||
built-in tool, or the server refuses to boot.
|
||
- `expose: <bool>` — whether the query appears on the agent tool surface
|
||
(default `true`). `expose: false` keeps the query HTTP/service-callable by
|
||
name but hides it from `tools/list` and the catalog. This is **presentation
|
||
only** — not an authorization control (Cedar `invoke_query` governs who may
|
||
call it).
|
||
|
||
A **per-parameter** `@description("…")` (written before the variable, e.g.
|
||
`@description("the user's slug") $slug: String`) documents that argument; it is
|
||
surfaced into the parameter's JSON-Schema `description` in the catalog and the
|
||
MCP tool input schema.
|
||
|
||
## MATCH clauses
|
||
|
||
- **Binding**: `$x: NodeType { prop: <literal | $param | now()>, … }`
|
||
- **Traversal**: `$src EDGE_NAME { min, max? } $dst` — variable-length paths via hop bounds; default 1..1 if bounds omitted.
|
||
- **Filter**: `<expr> <op> <expr>` with operators `>=`, `<=`, `!=`, `>`, `<`, `=`, and string `contains`.
|
||
- **Negation**: `not { clause+ }` — desugars to anti-join over the inner pipeline.
|
||
|
||
## RETURN clause
|
||
|
||
`return { <expr> [as <alias>], … }` with expressions:
|
||
|
||
- Variable / property access: `$x`, `$x.prop`
|
||
- Literals: string, int, float, bool, list
|
||
- `now()`
|
||
- Aggregates: `count`, `sum`, `avg`, `min`, `max`
|
||
- [Search functions](../search/index.md) (so you can return a score column)
|
||
- `AliasRef` — re-use a previous projection alias
|
||
|
||
## ORDER & LIMIT
|
||
|
||
- `order { <expr> [asc|desc], … }` — supports plain expressions and `nearest(...)`.
|
||
- `limit <integer>` — required when there is a `nearest(...)` ordering.
|
||
- **Total, deterministic order.** Rows with equal user-sort keys are broken by the bound entities' key columns (`<var>.id`, ascending) appended as a final tie-break, so the result is a *total* order — reproducible across runs, and `order … limit N` returns a deterministic top-N even when ties straddle the cutoff. (Aggregate results have no entity-key columns; their group rows are already distinct on the projected group keys.)
|
||
- **NULL placement** is *nulls-first ascending, nulls-last descending* (i.e. `nulls_first = !descending`): a NULL sorts as if smaller than any value.
|
||
|
||
Write statements (`insert` / `update` / `delete`) are documented on the
|
||
[mutations](../mutations/index.md) page.
|
||
|
||
## Traversal execution
|
||
|
||
Variable-length traversals (`Expand`) are executed one of two ways, chosen per-expand by a cost model over cheap manifest counts (frontier size, edge count, source-vertex count, hops) plus index coverage: selective traversals (small frontier relative to the source set) resolve neighbors from the persisted `src`/`dst` BTREE (one indexed scan per hop); dense / deep / large-frontier traversals — or those whose BTREE coverage is degraded so a full scan would be paid per hop — use an in-memory CSR adjacency index. Both produce identical results. The `OMNIGRAPH_EXPAND_INDEXED_MAX_FRONTIER` / `OMNIGRAPH_EXPAND_INDEXED_MAX_HOPS` ceilings bound the *initial dispatch* frontier/hops (beyond them CSR is always used); the cost model estimates total indexed work as ~`hops × frontier × fanout` and prices dense fan-out toward CSR — they are not a hard per-hop bound. `OMNIGRAPH_TRAVERSAL_MODE=indexed|csr` forces a mode (see [constants](../reference/constants.md)).
|
||
|
||
## Linting & validation
|
||
|
||
Codes seen so far:
|
||
|
||
- **Q000** (Error): parse error
|
||
- **L201** (Warning): nullable property never set by any UPDATE — "{type}.{prop} exists in schema but no update query sets it"
|
||
- (Warning): mutation declares no params — hardcoded mutations are easy to miss
|
||
- Plus all type errors from type checking (undefined types, mismatched operators, undefined edges, etc.)
|
||
|
||
Lint output reports an overall status, per-query results (name, kind, status, any error and warnings), and structured findings (severity, code, message, and the type/property/query they apply to).
|
||
|
||
CLI exits non-zero only on `status = Error`.
