Description
Problem
When an AI agent is asked to query a specific Hookdeck project by name (e.g. "is everything healthy in my Hookdeck Prod / Default Project?"), it does not automatically verify or switch to the correct project before running queries. Instead, it silently uses whatever project happens to be active, returning results from the wrong project without any warning.
The root cause is that the MCP tool descriptions don't signal to the agent that:
- All queries are scoped to an active project
- The active project must be verified/switched before running any queries
hookdeck_projectsshould be called first when a project name is mentioned
Proposed Changes
hookdeck_projects description
Add imperative language to make this the required first step when a project is referenced:
Always call this first when the user references a specific project by name. List available projects to find the matching project ID, then use the
useaction to switch to it before calling any other tools. All queries (events, issues, connections, metrics, requests) are scoped to the active project — if the wrong project is active, all results will be wrong. Also use this when unsure which project is currently active.
hookdeck_issues, hookdeck_events, hookdeck_connections, hookdeck_metrics, hookdeck_requests descriptions
Append the following note to each:
Results are scoped to the active project — call
hookdeck_projectsfirst if the user has specified a project.
hookdeck_help description
Append:
Note: all tools operate on the active project — use
hookdeck_projectsto verify or switch project context before querying.
Additional Consideration
Consider including the active project name/ID in the response envelope of all query tools, e.g.:
{
"project": { "id": "tm_abc123", "name": "Hookdeck Prod / Default Project" },
"models": [...],
"pagination": {...}
}This would allow agents to self-correct even after running a query — noticing the returned project doesn't match the user's intent and re-running against the correct one.
Impact
Without these changes, agents will silently return data from the wrong project whenever the active project doesn't match the one the user asked about, with no indication that anything is wrong. This is a correctness issue that degrades trust in agent-driven workflows.
