803
+ A tool error (a missing `path`, a bad `top`) comes back as a tool result with `isError: true` and a one-line message,
804
+ never as a crash of the server. A protocol error is a JSON-RPC error and the server keeps reading: unparseable text
805
+ is `-32700`, a line that is valid JSON but not an object is `-32600`, and an unknown method is `-32601` (so a client
806
+ probing for methods this server does not have, `server/discover` for instance, can fall back). Replies are compact
807
+ JSON — no indentation, because a model reads them. The MCP tools do not expose the CLI's `--online` or `--history`;
808

882
+
883
+ Every message in this table is a string the test suite pins, so it will not drift away from what the tool prints.

885
+ <!-- troubleshooting:start -->
886
+
887
+ | what you see | what it means | what to do |
888
+ |---|---|---|
889
+ | `path does not exist: ...` in a tool result with `isError: true` | The MCP server resolved your path relative to **its own** working directory, which is wherever the client launched it, not your project. | Pass an absolute path, or set the server's working directory in the client config. |
890
+ | `status: INVALID (no Python files and no manifests to judge)`, `no grade`, exit code `3` | There was nothing to analyse: no Python source and no manifest. Usually the wrong directory, or a path that is only build output. | Point it at the repository root. Exit 3 means "this scan cannot be trusted", not "this repo is bad". |
891
+ | `status: INVALID`, a reason starting `PATH is unreadable` | The directory could not be walked at all — permissions, or a path that disappeared mid-scan. | Check the path and its permissions; on Windows, check the drive is mounted. |
892
+ | `entry_points must be a list of strings`, exit code `2` | The goal contract has the wrong shape: `entry_points`, `keep` and `exclude` are TOML arrays of strings. | Fix the `.goal.toml`. `code-guardian init` writes a valid one to start from. |
893
+ | A score you disagree with | Every deduction is listed with `file:line` and a `false_positives` note in the [check catalogue](#check-catalogue). | If it is wrong for your repo, exclude it in the goal contract or record it with `code-guardian baseline`; please open an issue if the check itself is wrong. |

932
+ (`tests/test_tools_list_budget.py`). `--explain` runs against a stub model on loopback
933

938

939
+ baseline stores are unaffected by that masking.

+ - **CI** ([ci.yml](.github/workflows/ci.yml)): the suite on Ubuntu, Windows and macOS (Python 3.11) and on Ubuntu
941
+ (Python 3.12 and 3.13); the built wheel installed in a clean venv and run against the risky fixture; SARIF
942
+ validated against the official 2.1.0 schema; the GitHub Action and the pre-commit hook run from the checkout.
