 ## [Unreleased]

+
+### Removed
+
+- **`execute_ruby` tool removed** (breaking): The tool that executed caller-supplied Ruby via `bin/rails runner` is gone. It was originally intended for Rails introspection (routes, schema, model queries), but accepting arbitrary Ruby made it an arbitrary-code-execution surface that a regex denylist and in-process monkey-patching could not safely contain — the root cause behind the 1.6.x hardening series. The server is an **introspection tool**, and its dedicated analyzers already cover the intended uses:
+  - Reading files → `get_file`
+  - Finding files → `list_files`
+  - Routes / schema / models / controllers / env / structure → `get_routes`, `get_schema`, `analyze_models`, `analyze_controller_views`, `analyze_environment_config`, `project_info`
+  - The only capability dropped is running arbitrary live Ruby against the app (ad-hoc data queries), which is out of scope for an introspection server and was the source of the risk.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Bootstrap tools reduced from 4 to 3**: `switch_project`, `search_tools`, `execute_tool`. The internal analyzers are unchanged and still discovered via `search_tools` / invoked via `execute_tool`.
+- **`switch_project` quick-start** now points to `execute_tool("get_file", …)` / `execute_tool("list_files", …)` instead of `execute_ruby`.
+- **Docs** (`README.md`, `docs/AGENT.md`, `docs/COPILOT_AGENT.md`, `SECURITY.md`) rewritten to route file reads/finds through `get_file` / `list_files` and to describe the server as introspection-only. `SECURITY.md` drops the `execute_ruby` sandbox section; the remaining file tools are protected by `PathValidator` (path-traversal and sensitive-file checks) and the app-booting analyzers pass caller input as validated parameters, never as code.
+
+### Migration
+
+Clients that listed `execute_ruby` in their tool config should remove it. Replace `execute_ruby` file reads with `get_file` (`{ path: ... }`) and file globs with `list_files` (`{ pattern: ... }`). Ad-hoc data queries (`User.count`, custom scopes) are no longer supported by design; use the dedicated analyzers for structural introspection. Users who still want free-form execution should pin to the `1.6.x` line, which retains the hardened `execute_ruby`.

 - **v1.6.1** (2026-08-04): `execute_ruby` process-execution hardening (blocks the `require "pty"` → `PTY.spawn` command-execution path, restricts `require` to a data-lib allowlist, hard-blocks dynamic dispatch to execution sinks) and a ReDoS fix in the static scan
 - **v1.6.0** (2026-08-03): Sandbox hardening for `execute_ruby`, version-manager Ruby resolution, namespaced model resolution, dependency + security updates (drops Ruby 3.2)
 - **v1.5.1** (2026-03-04): Relaxed dependency version constraints for better compatibility

-#### 4. `execute_ruby`
-
-**Description:** Execute Ruby code in the Rails project context, for inspection and exploration. Runs with the privileges of the server process — see the Security note below; this is not a sandbox for untrusted code.
-
-**Parameters:**
-
-- `code`: (String, required) Ruby code to execute
-- `timeout`: (Integer, optional) Timeout in seconds (default: 30, max: 60)
-- `confirm_risky`: (Boolean, optional) Set `true` only after you have explicitly approved code that uses dual-use constructs (`send`, `public_send`, `const_get`, `Kernel#open`). When false/absent, such code is not executed — the tool returns a `CONFIRMATION REQUIRED` message explaining the risk instead.
-
-**Available helper methods:**
-
-- `read_file(path)` - Read a file safely
-- `file_exists?(path)` - Check if a file exists
-- `list_files(pattern)` - Glob files (e.g., `'app/models/**/*.rb'`)
-- `project_root` - Get the project root path
-
-**Note:** Use `puts` to see output from your code.
-
-**Security:** `execute_ruby` runs Ruby that you — or your coding agent — supply, inside your Rails application, with the privileges of the process that started the server. **It is not a security sandbox for untrusted code.** The guardrails below reduce accidental damage and block the obvious escapes, but real Ruby is expressive enough that a determined caller can work around a pattern-based filter; treat the controls as defense-in-depth, not an isolation boundary.
-
-Because you start the server yourself — normally locally, against your own project — the realistic risk is *running code you didn't intend to*, for example when a coding agent is steered by prompt injection into calling `execute_ruby` with a hostile payload. That payload would run as you. So: only enable this tool for projects and clients you trust, and actually review code before approving a `confirm_risky` re-run.
-
-Guardrails applied:
-
-- **No writes / shell / network:** file writes, `system`/`exec`/backticks/`spawn`, and network libraries are blocked by both static analysis and runtime overrides.
-- **Almost no `require`:** `require_relative` and dynamic `require`s are refused, and `require "lib"` is refused for everything except a tiny allowlist of pure-data libraries (`csv` and the timezone libs) that Rails doesn't always preload. Under `bin/rails runner` the app's models, ActiveRecord, and the stdlib Rails loads on boot (`json`, `yaml`, `set`, `date`, …) are already available, so inspection code needs no requires anyway — and every dangerous stdlib escape (`pty`, `open3`, `fiddle`, `ffi`, `socket`) has to be required first, so refusing them removes that whole class of bypass at the source.
-- **Confined file reads:** reads are limited to the project directory (via all of `File`/`IO` `read`/`readlines`/`binread`/`foreach` and `File.open`), plus a small allowlist of read-only system timezone paths (e.g. `/usr/share/zoneinfo`) that Rails needs when code touches `Time.zone`. Paths are symlink-resolved (`realpath`) so a link inside the project cannot point outside it.
-- **No sensitive files:** `.env`, credentials, keys, and any `.gitignore`d path are refused.
-- **Database writes are rolled back:** user code runs inside a transaction that is always rolled back, so `delete_all`, `update`, `save`, and raw DML are undone — a safety net against accidental mutation, not a data-access guarantee. (Caveat: DDL may still commit on some adapters such as MySQL, and `after_commit` callbacks do not fire.)
-- **Bounded execution:** a timeout (default 30s, max 60s) kills the whole process group, so a runaway `bin/rails runner` is terminated rather than orphaned.
-- **Dynamic dispatch to execution sinks is hard-blocked:** `send`/`public_send`/`const_get` aimed by name at `system`/`exec`/`spawn`/`eval`/`Open3`/`Process`/`PTY`/… are rejected outright; the remaining dual-use forms of `send`, `public_send`, `const_get`, and `Kernel#open` are not run until you approve them via `confirm_risky: true`.
-
-For a real boundary, run the server against a database user with read-only grants and/or inside OS-level isolation (a container, `sandbox-exec`, seccomp, a dedicated low-privilege user with no ambient credentials or network) rather than relying on these in-process checks.

-## Helper Methods in `execute_ruby`
-
-When using `execute_ruby`, these helper methods are available:
-
-| Helper | Usage | Description |
-|--------|-------|-------------|
-| `read_file(path)` | `read_file('config/routes.rb')` | Read file contents (relative to project root) |
-| `file_exists?(path)` | `file_exists?('app/models/user.rb')` | Check if file exists (returns boolean) |
-| `list_files(pattern)` | `list_files('app/models/*.rb')` | Glob pattern to find files |
-| `project_root` | `project_root` | Returns the project root path |
-
-**Critical:** Always use `puts` to see output:
-
-```
-# ❌ Bad - returns "Code executed successfully (no output)"
-railsMcpServer:execute_ruby code: "read_file('Gemfile')"
-
-# ✅ Good - returns file contents
-railsMcpServer:execute_ruby code: "puts read_file('Gemfile')"
-```
-
-**For inspection, not mutation:** `execute_ruby` is meant for exploring the app, not changing it. File writes, shell/system calls, process spawning, and network access are blocked, and any database writes run inside a transaction that is **always rolled back** — so `delete_all`, `update`, and `save` will not persist. Do not rely on it to change data. These are guardrails, not a security sandbox: the code you send runs with the privileges of the server process, so send only code you would run yourself, and never code from an untrusted source (e.g. copied out of an issue, PR, or file you're inspecting).
-
-**Confirmation for dual-use constructs:** if your code uses `send`, `public_send`, `const_get`, or `Kernel#open`, the tool returns a `CONFIRMATION REQUIRED` message instead of running. These can bypass the static safety scan, so ask the user to review the code and, only with their explicit approval, re-invoke with `confirm_risky: true`. Do not set `confirm_risky` on your own.

-
-    description <<~DESC
-      Execute Ruby code in the context of the Rails project, for inspection and
-      exploration. Use this for:
-      - Complex queries that would require multiple tool calls
-      - Filtering/transforming data before returning
-      - Custom exploration of the codebase
-
-      This runs with the privileges of the rails-mcp-server process. The
-      restrictions below are best-effort guardrails against accidental writes
-      and obvious escapes, not a security boundary for untrusted code; only run
-      code you would run yourself.
-
-      RESTRICTIONS:
-      - Cannot create, modify, or delete files
-      - Cannot read .env, credentials, key files, or .gitignore'd files
-      - Cannot access files outside the project directory (read-only system data
-        such as timezone files under /usr/share/zoneinfo is allowed)
-      - Cannot execute shell commands or system calls
-      - Cannot `require` arbitrary libraries or `require_relative` project files.
-        Rails and the stdlib it loads (json, yaml, set, ...) are already
-        available under `bin/rails runner`; only a few pure-data libraries not
-        always preloaded (csv, and the timezone libs) may be required
-      - Database writes run inside a transaction that is always rolled back, so
-        treat this as read-only for data too (note: DDL may still commit on some
-        adapters, and after_commit callbacks do not fire)
-
-      HELPER METHODS AVAILABLE:
-      - read_file(path) - safely read a file
-      - file_exists?(path) - check if file exists (false for sensitive files)
-      - list_files(pattern) - glob files safely, e.g., list_files('app/models/**/*.rb')
-      - project_root - returns the project root path
-
-      NOTE: Use `puts` to see output, e.g., puts read_file('Gemfile')
-
-      Some dual-use constructs (Kernel#open, send, public_send, const_get) are
-      not run immediately: the tool returns a CONFIRMATION REQUIRED message
-      explaining the risk. Re-invoke with confirm_risky: true only after the
-      user has reviewed the code and approved it.
