Why

I missed a CodeRabbit nitpick on #356 before that PR merged.

AuditedMCPServer.call_tool surfaces an MCPgError as a ToolError. But it looked only at exc.__cause__. If the SDK, or any code path, raises UnexpectedToolError inside an except block with no from, the domain error is only in __context__. Then the client gets the generic "Error executing tool ", and the audit log does not record the real message either.

Change

• The lookup is now exc if isinstance(exc, MCPgError) else (exc.__cause__ or exc.__context__). This is the same rule as the validation branch above it.
• The CHANGELOG Unreleased entry is extended.

Tests

• New test: test_call_tool_surfaces_mcpg_error_found_only_in_exception_context. It patches MCPServer.call_tool to raise UnexpectedToolError with the MCPgError only in __context__. The test fails on main and passes with this change.
• Pre-commit hook: passes (ruff, mypy, audit, bandit, unit suite).

Summary by Sourcery

Preserve domain-specific MCPgError messages across implicitly chained tool exceptions.

Bug Fixes:

• Ensure MCPgError messages are surfaced when they appear in an exception’s implicit context, preserving accurate client errors and audit records instead of generic tool failure messages.

Tests:

• Add coverage for tool errors that contain an MCPgError only through context.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Tool errors now display the underlying error message when an MCP error is linked through an exception’s cause or context. Audit records and metrics continue to follow the existing error-handling behavior.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

Summary

The wrapper now reads MCPgError from __context__ when no explicit cause is available.

• Tool errors keep MCPg's message through implicit exception chains.

📝 Walkthrough

The tool-call wrapper now checks an exception’s __cause__ and __context__ for an underlying MCPgError. A unit test verifies that an error found in implicit context appears in the client-visible ToolError and audit record.

Changes: Tool error handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Exception-chain lookup and validation src/mcpg/server.py, tests/unit/test_server.py, CHANGELOG.md	call_tool checks __cause__ and __context__ for an MCPgError. The test checks that its message appears in the ToolError and audit record instead of the generic SDK error text. The changelog describes the lookup.

Summary

The change improves error handling by considering both cause and context when extracting MCPgError from exceptions, which is correct. The changelog is updated accordingly. However, the added test incorrectly patches the method under test, invalidating the test.

Assert the audit message in this regression test.

The change also promises that the audit record contains the domain message. The current assertions cover only the client-visible ToolError. Capture the audit event and assert that its error contains the provider message rather than the generic SDK message. As per coding guidelines, unit tests must “assert the operation's result and relevant interactions or rejection behavior.”

Nitpick (assert the audit message): done in ebe1dbf. The test captures audit.record and asserts one error event whose error holds the domain message and not the SDK's generic text.
