Conversation
A library calls registerDevtoolsTools to expose internals to a browser agent. The root import is a no-op outside development.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Registration can fail in the native-browser example or when loading the root module directly, and stopping a tool may leave an execution running. Fix those behaviors before merging; the example also needs its result description and disabled controls corrected. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

In `@docs/production.md`:
- Line 88: Update the production-build statement to say the library WebMCP tools
are not registered outside development, rather than claiming they are absent
from the production build. Keep the distinction clear: the tool objects remain
in the bundle, but the root import prevents their registration.
In `@examples/react/basic/src/example.css`:
- Line 129: Update the disabled-button styling in `.example-shell` to match the
scope of the existing button selectors, and exclude disabled buttons from both
hover rules so hover and dark-theme styles cannot apply enabled-button colors.
In `@examples/react/basic/src/webmcp-proof.tsx`:
- Line 47: Update the context setup around `doc.modelContext` so it instruments
the existing context without assigning to or replacing the native readonly
`document.modelContext` attribute. Keep the Register tool flow able to reach its
existing helper.
- Around line 84-85: Update the description in the tool registration near its
execute callback to accurately describe the fixed `{ status: 'ok' }` result; do
not imply that it reads or summarizes query-cache data.
In `@packages/devtools-webmcp/src/register.ts`:
- Line 248: Remove the `@param` JSDoc tags from all three affected locations:
delete the `options` tag and following blank line in
`packages/devtools-webmcp/src/register.ts` (line 248) and
`packages/devtools-webmcp/src/index.ts` (line 16), and delete the `_options` tag
in `packages/devtools-webmcp/src/noop.ts` (line 7).
- Line 151: Update toRegistration to accept the registration AbortSignal and
wrap tool.execute so it receives the input and that signal in its options,
rather than forwarding the function unchanged. Align
WebMcpToolRegistration.execute with the wrapper’s input-only signature, and
update register tests to call the registered execute function and verify it
receives the registration signal.

Keep disabled-button colors visible on hover and in the dark theme.
The existing hover selectors outrank this selector. The later dark-theme button rule also overrides it. As a result, disabled Run tool and Stop registration buttons can take enabled-button colors. Match the existing button selector’s scope, and exclude disabled buttons from both hover rules. (w3.org)

Do not assign to the native document.modelContext attribute.
In a browser that implements WebMCP, document.modelContext is readonly. This assignment throws in module code, so clicking Register tool stops before the helper runs. Instrument the existing context without replacing the document attribute. (github.com)

Align the example tool description with its fixed result.
execute always returns { status: 'ok' } and does not read query-cache data. The example demonstrates tool registration, so update the description to match this fixed proof result, or add real QueryClient data.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winCombine registration and invocation cancellation signals.
When a browser invocation supplies
browserArg.signal,signalFrompasses that signal totool.execute. Cleanup aborts only the registration controller. An in-flight execution can therefore keep receiving an active signal after the caller invokes the returned cleanup function. This violates the documented cleanup contract.Combine both signals so either registration cleanup or invocation cancellation reaches
tool.execute.Suggested fix
-function signalFrom(value: unknown, fallback: AbortSignal) { +function signalFrom(value: unknown) { if (typeof value !== 'object' || value === null) { - return fallback + return undefined } if (!('signal' in value)) { - return fallback + return undefined } if (!(value.signal instanceof AbortSignal)) { - return fallback + return undefined } return value.signal } function wrapExecute(tool: DevtoolsTool, registrationSignal: AbortSignal) { - return (input: unknown, browserArg?: unknown) => - tool.execute(input, { - signal: signalFrom(browserArg, registrationSignal), - }) + return (input: unknown, browserArg?: unknown) => { + const invocationSignal = signalFrom(browserArg) + return tool.execute(input, { + signal: + invocationSignal === undefined + ? registrationSignal + : AbortSignal.any([registrationSignal, invocationSignal]), + }) + } }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

A TanStack library can register WebMCP tools during development. The same import does nothing outside development.
🎯 Changes
A library calls
registerDevtoolsToolsfrom@tanstack/devtools-webmcp. The browser tool name ispluginId.instanceId.name. The helper setsannotations.debuggingtotrue.The root import is the real helper when
NODE_ENVisdevelopment. In every other environment the import is a no-op.@tanstack/devtools-webmcp/productionis always the real helper.The basic React example has a WebMCP section. You can click through the call there.
