Fixes #6167 and #6168.

#6167 — plugin-registered config_db tables were never restored at startup

ProxySQL_Admin::__insert_or_replace_maintable_select_disktable() is a hardcoded list of core tables. Plugin tables are merged into tables_defs_config for their CREATE TABLE only (Admin_Bootstrap.cpp:994-1019), so rows written by a plugin's SAVE <X> TO DISK verb were never read back into main. on the next boot.

Persistence was therefore partial, which is what made it hard to diagnose: a plugin's variables came back (they live in global_variables, which core does copy) while its own tables came back empty — the MCP listener started, answered tools/list, and had zero targets.

The copy is done chassis-side rather than per-plugin because the ordering is what makes it correct:

LoadConfiguredPlugins()          # phase A+B: schemas registered
ProxySQL_Main_init_Admin_module  # tables created, THEN the disk -> main copy
InitConfiguredPlugins()          # phase D
StartConfiguredPlugins()         # phase E: start() sees main. already populated

This fixes every plugin at once — the mysqlx plugin's four persisted tables (mysqlx_users, mysqlx_routes, mysqlx_backend_endpoints, mysqlx_variables) had the identical gap.

Second half of the same bug: genai_start() never installed mcp_query_rules into the runtime — only the two admin verbs did — so rules would have stayed uninstalled even once the rows were restored. It now installs them, after the listener rather than before: install_query_rules_from_admin() hands rows to Discovery_Schema only when a catalog exists, and the catalog belongs to the Query_Tool_Handler the listener creates. Profiles keep loading before the listener, since the connection pools are initialized from the target registry during listener construction.

#6168 — target profiles were dropped from the runtime map in silence

rebuild_target_auth_map_locked() excludes targets that are active=0 or whose auth_profile_id does not resolve. There is no FOREIGN KEY on auth_profile_id, so a dangling reference is accepted by the INSERT and only manifests here. Those rows are invisible to the query endpoint but stay visible in runtime_mcp_target_profiles, which projects the raw snapshot — so the table showed the target, LOAD MCP PROFILES TO RUNTIME replied OK, nothing was logged, and list_targets returned []. The error string operators hit in that state named runtime_mcp_target_profiles, the one surface that contradicted it.

Four changes:

  1. Every dropped row is logged with its target_id and reason, plus a summary line.
  2. The LOAD reply reports the counts:
    MCP profiles loaded to runtime: 1 auth profile(s), 1 of 3 target(s) effective
    (1 inactive, 1 with unresolved auth_profile_id; see
    runtime_mcp_target_profiles.skip_reason and the error log)
    
  3. runtime_mcp_target_profiles gains derived read-only effective / skip_reason columns:
    +------------------+--------+-----------------+-----------+---------------------------+
    | target_id        | active | auth_profile_id | effective | skip_reason               |
    +------------------+--------+-----------------+-----------+---------------------------+
    | tap6168_ok       | 1      | tap6168_auth    | 1         |                           |
    | tap6168_dangling | 1      | no_such_auth    | 0         | auth_profile_id not found |
    | tap6168_inactive | 0      | tap6168_auth    | 0         | inactive                  |
    +------------------+--------+-----------------+-----------+---------------------------+
    
    They are filled by the same rebuild pass that builds target_auth_map, and copied under one rdlock with the snapshot, so the view reports the decision the query endpoint actually made rather than a second, independently-derived opinion that could drift from it.
  4. The misleading error string names the mechanism instead of the table.

Per the discussion on #6168, the view keeps projecting every row, effective or not — hiding excluded rows would remove the only surface where the misconfiguration is visible at all.

effective=1 still does not imply executable; backend reachability is resolved per request and format_target_unavailable_error() diagnoses that separately. Called out in the schema comment and the docs.

Testing

Verified on a full PROXYSQL40=1 make debug build (linux/arm64, proxysql/packaging:build-debian13-v4.0.0):

Test Result
plugin_runtime_views_unit-t 42/42 pass
genai_plugin_load_unit-t 104/104 pass
mcp_module-t compiles clean (-fsyntax-only)
  • plugin_runtime_views_unit-t — new coverage for the restore seam: disk→main round trip, INSERT OR REPLACE semantics (stomped rows overwritten, main-only rows preserved), runtime projection tables left alone, and robustness against a null handle / empty name / a config_db table with no admin_db twin.
  • genai_plugin_load_unit-t — both skip reasons end to end through the real plugin command registry, plus the reported counts. Its fixture needed updating since runtime_mcp_target_profiles can no longer be cloned from mcp_target_profiles.
  • mcp_module-t — admin-level Part 5, including the operator fix paths: reactivating the target and creating the missing auth profile both move the row into the effective set. Seeds are removed and the runtime reloaded on the way out so the rest of the ai group sees its baseline.

Not covered: a process restart. The TAP framework has no mechanism for restarting ProxySQL mid-test (start-proxysql-isolated.bash is a harness-level operation), so the restart path is verified through the extracted proxysql_restore_plugin_config_tables_from_disk() seam instead. Worth a follow-up if we ever add restart support to the harness.

Local build notes (environment, not this branch): make build_tap_test_debug cannot link libtap.so on aarch64 — the vendored static libcurl is built without -fPIC, producing R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 relocations that can't go into a shared object. The unit tests compile tap.o directly and are unaffected. The debian13 packaging image also ships only the libzstd.so.1 / liblz4.so.1 runtime sonames without the -dev symlinks the unit-test Makefile's -lzstd needs.

Summary by cubic

Restores plugin-registered config tables from disk at startup, and surfaces why some MCP target profiles never reach the query endpoint.

Bug Fixes

  • Plugin config tables are copied from disk. into main. during admin bootstrap, so SAVE ... TO DISK now survives a restart; genai_start() also installs mcp_query_rules into the runtime.
  • Excluded targets are logged with their reason, LOAD MCP PROFILES TO RUNTIME reports effective/skipped counts, and runtime_mcp_target_profiles gains derived effective / skip_reason columns.
  • The empty-registry error message now names the mechanism instead of pointing at runtime_mcp_target_profiles.

Written for commit b203f70. Summary will update on new commits.

Fixes #6167 and #6168.

#6167 -- plugin-registered config_db tables were never restored at startup.

ProxySQL_Admin::__insert_or_replace_maintable_select_disktable() is a
hardcoded list of core tables. Plugin tables are merged into
tables_defs_config for their CREATE TABLE only, so rows written by a
plugin's "SAVE <X> TO DISK" verb were never read back into main. on the
next boot. Persistence was therefore partial and confusing: a plugin's
variables came back (they live in global_variables, which core does copy)
while its own tables came back empty -- the MCP listener started, answered
tools/list, and had zero targets.

The copy is done chassis-side rather than per-plugin because the ordering
is what makes it correct: LoadConfiguredPlugins() has already registered
the schemas, admin init runs the copy, and InitConfiguredPlugins() /
StartConfiguredPlugins() run after it, so a plugin's start() callback
observes main. already populated. This fixes every plugin at once; the
mysqlx plugin's four persisted tables had the same gap.

genai_start() additionally never installed mcp_query_rules into the
runtime -- only the two admin verbs did -- so rules would have stayed
uninstalled even with the rows restored. It now installs them, after the
listener rather than before: install_query_rules_from_admin() hands rows
to Discovery_Schema only when a catalog exists, and the catalog belongs to
the Query_Tool_Handler the listener creates. Profiles keep loading before
the listener, since the connection pools are initialized from the target
registry during listener construction.

#6168 -- target profiles were dropped from the runtime map in silence.

rebuild_target_auth_map_locked() excludes targets that are inactive or
whose auth_profile_id does not resolve (there is no FK constraint, so the
INSERT is accepted). Those rows are invisible to the query endpoint but
stay visible in runtime_mcp_target_profiles, which projects the raw
snapshot -- so the table showed the target, LOAD MCP PROFILES TO RUNTIME
replied OK, nothing was logged, and list_targets returned []. The error
string operators hit in that state named runtime_mcp_target_profiles,
the one surface that contradicted it.

Each dropped row is now logged with its target_id and reason; the LOAD
reply reports installed/skipped counts; runtime_mcp_target_profiles gains
derived read-only `effective` / `skip_reason` columns filled from the same
rebuild pass that builds the map, so the view explains its own rows rather
than offering a second opinion that could drift; and the misleading error
string now names the mechanism instead of the table.

The view keeps projecting every row, effective or not: hiding excluded
rows would remove the only surface where the misconfiguration is visible.

Tests: plugin_runtime_views_unit-t covers the restore seam (round trip,
INSERT OR REPLACE semantics, runtime tables untouched, null/empty/missing
table robustness). genai_plugin_load_unit-t covers both skip reasons end
to end through the real plugin command registry. mcp_module-t adds admin
level coverage including the operator fix paths (reactivate the target,
create the missing auth profile).

Not covered: a process restart, which the TAP framework has no mechanism
for; the restart path is verified through the extracted restore seam
instead.

Runtime target profiles now include effective and skip_reason. Profile loading records skipped inactive and unresolved-auth targets, logs warnings, reports counts, and tests verify state transitions and command output.
Query rule startup installation
plugins/genai/src/plugin_main.cpp, plugins/genai/README.md
GenAI startup installs persisted query rules after the listener starts, so the Discovery_Schema catalog is available during installation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b203f

Operators could edit runtime projection tables expecting routing changes, but those changes are ignored and overwritten on refresh. Clarify the required main-table update and profile reload workflow.

P1 Badge Attach restored rules whenever the listener is created

When ProxySQL starts with mcp-enabled=false (the default), mcp_start_listener_if_enabled() returns without creating the Query_Tool_Handler catalog, so this subsequent call only updates query_rules_ and discards the result set. If MCP is later enabled with LOAD MCP VARIABLES TO RUNTIME (or listener startup initially fails and is retried), that path creates the listener but never reloads the rules, leaving all persisted query rules—including deny/error rules—unenforced until an operator manually runs LOAD MCP QUERY RULES TO RUNTIME. The rule installation needs to run whenever a new listener/catalog is successfully created, not only during genai_start().

tables. `runtime_mcp_target_profiles.effective` / `.skip_reason` report which
rows did not (`inactive`, `auth_profile_id not found`); see
[VARIABLES.md](VARIABLES.md#which-target-profiles-are-actually-usable).

Document the runtime projection boundary.

runtime_mcp_target_profiles and runtime_mcp_auth_profiles are chassis-owned projections. The /mcp/query endpoint reads the in-memory joined map built from main.mcp_*_profiles by LOAD MCP PROFILES TO RUNTIME. State that operators must edit the main tables and reload profiles; runtime-table changes do not change routing and may be overwritten on refresh.

Security Misconfiguration (CWE-693)

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Install query rules after every successful listener creation.

MCP variable, profile, and configuration reloads can start the listener without calling mcp_load_query_rules_to_runtime(). The resulting Query_Tool_Handler evaluates an empty or stale catalog, so persisted main.mcp_query_rules do not protect requests until a separate rule-load command runs.

In `@plugins/genai/src/plugin_main.cpp` at line 1022, Ensure every successful
listener creation path invokes mcp_load_query_rules_to_runtime(ctx) immediately
after the listener is established, including MCP variable, profile, and
configuration reload flows. Keep the existing rule-loading behavior intact while
preventing Query_Tool_Handler from using an empty or stale catalog.
