Summary

  • Reduce PinPoint MCP server prompt token consumption by compacting tool descriptions into concise 1-2 sentence functional contracts (Tactic 1).
  • Offload procedural runbooks (offset draining, PinballMap/iScored linking) into dedicated repository skill .agents/skills/pinpoint-mcp/SKILL.md.
  • Consolidate granular machine mutation tools (set_machine_availability, set_machine_name, set_machine_owner, set_machine_pinballmap, set_machine_iscored) into a unified update_machine tool (Tactic 3).
  • Track divergence row in docs/feature-specs/iscored.md.
  • Note: Non-visual change (<!-- no-visual-change -->).

Test Plan

  • Targeted integration suite: pnpm run test:integration:target -- src/test/integration/mcp-tools.test.ts (138 tests passed)
  • Full unit test suite: pnpm run test (2,787 tests passed)
  • Static check gate: pnpm run check (clean, 0 errors)
  • Python test suite: pnpm run check:python (603 passed)

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a unified machine update capability for names, availability, ownership, PinballMap settings, lineup intent, and iScored links.
    • Updates return revised machine details, record changed fields, and report partial results when an error occurs.
    • Added validation for conflicting settings, required exclusion reasons, permissions, and owner notifications.
  • Documentation

    • Added operational guidance for machine and issue workflows, catalog searches, linking, auditing, and connection diagnostics.
    • Clarified supported filters, pagination, update operations, and issue tool inputs.
    • Documented current issue-linking behavior and PinballMap synchronization rules.

Walkthrough

Added the consolidated update_machine MCP tool, registered it in the catalog, added integration coverage, and documented MCP procedures and tool behavior.

146-156: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🛡️ Analyzed with Security Review

The consolidated permission gate does not widen authorization. The removed iScored, owner, availability, and name tools all used machines.edit, while Pinball Map updates used machines.pinballmap.link. The permission matrix maps member access for machines.edit to "owner", matching the consolidated behavior.
