Bug Report

Feature Area: LSP Registry / agents lsp JSON output
Severity: Medium
Discovered by: UAT Testing (uat-pool-1, worker: Provider Registry and LSP Integration)


What Was Tested

Tested agents lsp add, agents lsp list, and agents lsp remove with --format json against the spec-required JSON envelope structure.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

agents lsp add --format json (spec §agents lsp add, line 8692)

{
  "command": "lsp add",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "lsp_server": {
      "name": "local/pyright",
      "languages": ["python"],
      "command": "pyright-langserver --stdio",
      "capabilities": ["diagnostics", "hover", "completions", ...]
    }
  },
  "timing": { "duration_ms": 12 },
  "messages": ["LSP server registered"]
}

agents lsp list --format json (spec §agents lsp list, line 8941)

{
  "command": "lsp list",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "lsp_servers": [...],
    "total": 3
  },
  "timing": { "duration_ms": 8 },
  "messages": ["3 LSP servers listed"]
}

agents lsp remove --format json (spec §agents lsp remove)

{
  "command": "lsp remove",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "lsp_server_removed": {
      "name": "local/pyright",
      ...
    }
  },
  "messages": ["LSP server removed"]
}

Actual Behavior

agents lsp add --format json

{
  "command": "",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "name": "local/pyright",
    "description": "...",
    "languages": ["python"],
    "command": "pyright-langserver",
    "args": ["--stdio"],
    "transport": "stdio",
    "env": {},
    "capabilities": [...],
    "initialization": {...},
    "workspace_settings": {},
    "namespace": "local",
    "short_name": "pyright",
    "registered": true
  },
  "timing": { "duration_ms": 0 },
  "messages": [{"level": "ok", "text": "ok"}]
}

Deviations:

  1. "command" is "" (empty) — should be "lsp add"
  2. "data" is flat — should be nested under "data": {"lsp_server": {...}}
  3. "messages" is [{"level": "ok", "text": "ok"}] — should be ["LSP server registered"]
  4. Extra fields in data: args, transport, env, initialization, workspace_settings, namespace, short_name, registered — spec only shows name, languages, command, capabilities

agents lsp list --format json

{
  "command": "",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": [
    {"name": "local/pyright", "languages": ["python"], "command": "pyright-langserver", ...}
  ],
  "timing": { "duration_ms": 0 },
  "messages": [{"level": "ok", "text": "ok"}]
}

Deviations:

  1. "command" is "" — should be "lsp list"
  2. "data" is a flat array — should be {"lsp_servers": [...], "total": N}
  3. "messages" wrong format — should be ["N LSP servers listed"]

agents lsp remove --format json

{
  "command": "",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {"name": "local/pyright", "removed": true},
  "timing": { "duration_ms": 0 },
  "messages": [{"level": "ok", "text": "ok"}]
}

Deviations:

  1. "command" is "" — should be "lsp remove"
  2. "data" is {"name": ..., "removed": true} — should be {"lsp_server_removed": {...}}
  3. "messages" wrong format

Root Cause

The format_output() calls in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/lsp.py do not pass:

  • command= parameter (so it defaults to "")
  • Properly structured data dict (data is passed flat instead of nested under spec-required keys)

This is the same systemic issue as #5015 (which covers actor/action/session) but for LSP commands.

Suggested Fix

  1. Pass command="lsp add" etc. to format_output() calls
  2. Wrap data under spec-required nested keys:
    • lsp add: {"lsp_server": config_dict}
    • lsp list: {"lsp_servers": [config_dict, ...], "total": N}
    • lsp remove: {"lsp_server_removed": {"name": name}}
  3. Pass messages=[{"level": "ok", "text": "LSP server registered"}] etc.
