# mrtr
Multi-round tool result: on the 2026-07-28 protocol a tool that needs user
input mid-call **returns** `resultType: "input_required"` with embedded
`inputRequests` and an opaque `requestState`, instead of pushing a
server-to-client request. The client fulfils the embedded requests and retries the
original `tools/call` carrying `inputResponses` and the echoed `requestState`.
The story shows both the `Client` auto-loop (one `await call_tool`, callbacks
fired transparently) and a manual `client.session` loop (the persistable
form). Because `requestState` round-trips through the client, it also shows
the security surface that protects it: `MCPServer` seals state by default
under a process-local key, handlers keep writing plaintext, and the wire only
ever carries an opaque token. The manual loop tampers with the sealed token to
show what a forged echo gets back.
## Run it
```bash
# HTTP: the client self-hosts the server on a free port, runs, then tears it
# down (the InputRequiredResult round-trip is 2026-era only)
uv run python -m stories.mrtr.client --http
# same, against the lowlevel-API server variant
uv run python -m stories.mrtr.client --http --server server_lowlevel
```
## What to look at
- `server.py` `build_server`: no security configuration at all. The default
seals under a key generated at process start, which is right for a
single-process server like this one; a fleet (multi-worker or load-balanced)
shares keys with `request_state_security=RequestStateSecurity(keys=[...])`
so any instance can verify state another minted.
- `server.py` `deploy`: handlers stay plaintext. The first round returns
`InputRequiredResult(input_requests={...},
request_state="awaiting-confirm")` and the retry asserts
`ctx.request_state == "awaiting-confirm"`. The tool never touches the
crypto; the boundary seals on the way out and unseals the echo on the way
back in.
- `client.py` `main`: the auto-loop is invisible at the call site:
`Client(target, mode=mode, elicitation_callback=on_elicit)` then
`await client.call_tool("deploy", ...)`. The same `on_elicit` callback the
legacy push path uses is dispatched for each embedded `inputRequests` entry.
- `client.py` manual block: `client.session.call_tool(...,
allow_input_required=True)` returns the raw `InputRequiredResult` so
`request_state` can be persisted between rounds. The wire value is an opaque
sealed token, **not** the string the server code wrote. The client asserts
exactly that, then retries with one character of the token flipped and gets
the single frozen error every verification failure maps to: `-32602`,
`"Invalid or expired requestState"`, `{"reason": "invalid_request_state"}`.
The specific reason (tampered tag, expiry, wrong request, wrong principal)
appears only in the server's log, never on the wire. The untampered token
then completes the round normally.
- `server_lowlevel.py`: the lowlevel tier doesn't seal by default; the same
enforcement is one appended middleware:
`server.middleware.append(RequestStateBoundary(RequestStateSecurity.ephemeral(),
default_audience=server.name))`.
## Caveats
- **Loop bound.** The auto-loop gives up after `input_required_max_rounds`
(default 10) with `InputRequiredRoundsExceededError`; raise it on the
`Client` ctor or drop to the manual loop.
- **The default key dies with the process.** It is generated at startup and
held only in memory, so a server restart (or a retry landing on a different
instance) invalidates in-flight rounds: the client gets the same frozen
rejection and must start the flow over. Use
`RequestStateSecurity(keys=[...])` when state must survive either.
