mini_app_core/alias_run.rs
1//! Top-level orchestration for the `alias_run` MCP tool.
2//!
3//! This module exposes [`execute_alias_run`] as the single entry point for
4//! running a named alias. Both the MCP tool handler and direct SDK consumers
5//! call this function; the MCP handler is a thin wrapper that:
6//! 1. Resolves the [`AliasRecord`] from global or per-table storage.
7//! 2. Calls [`execute_alias_run`].
8//! 3. Serialises the [`AliasRunValue`] result to JSON (backward-compat shape).
9//!
10//! # Crux compliance
11//!
12//! - **Crux #1 / #2**: `crates/core/Cargo.toml` must not declare `rmcp` as a
13//! dependency. All types here are pure Core-native types. MCP boundary
14//! conversions (e.g. `MiniAppError → rmcp::ErrorData`) are the sole
15//! responsibility of private adapter functions in `crates/mcp`.
16//!
17//! # MiniJinja render pipeline (Crux §1/#2)
18//!
19//! When `record.params_schema` is `Some`, the `filter` field is a MiniJinja
20//! template. The template is rendered with `params` as the context, then the
21//! rendered string is parsed as a [`ListFilter`] JSON document. When
22//! `params_schema` is `None`, the render step is skipped entirely for backward
23//! compatibility with plain-JSON aliases.

45/// variant with its natural JSON shape to preserve backward compatibility:

65///
66/// # Arguments
67///
68/// - `registry` — Live [`TableRegistry`]; used to resolve store handles and
69/// schema configs from table names, and to collect table names for
70/// [`SourceSpec::Pattern`] resolution.
71/// - `record` — The [`AliasRecord`] that describes the alias (sources,
72/// aggregator, filter template, parameter schema, default limit).
73/// - `params` — Optional JSON value used as the MiniJinja render context.
74/// Required when `record.params_schema` is `Some`; ignored (and silently
75/// accepted) when `None`.
76/// - `table_fallback` — Legacy single-table mode: the `table` argument
77/// supplied to `alias_run`. Used when `record.sources` is
78/// `SourceSpec::Single` with an empty placeholder produced by the legacy
79/// per-table path. Ignored when `record.sources` is already a fully
80/// populated `Single`/`Multi`/`Pattern`.
81/// - `limit_override` — Caller-supplied row limit. Falls back to
82/// `record.default_limit` when `None`.
83/// - `offset` — Number of rows to skip (plain Rows path only).
84/// - `fields` — Field projection selector (plain Rows path only).
85///
86/// # Errors
87///
88/// - [`MiniAppError::AliasParamsRequired`] — `params_schema` is `Some` but
89/// `params` is `None`.
90/// - [`MiniAppError::AliasTemplateError`] — MiniJinja render failure.
91/// - [`MiniAppError::Filter`] — filter parse or validate failure.
92/// - [`MiniAppError::Aggregator`] — aggregator execute failure.
93/// - [`MiniAppError::TableNotFound`] — a referenced table is not in the
94/// registry.
95/// - [`MiniAppError::Storage`] — underlying SQLite error.
