Description
Adds an optional
user_tokenparameter toAgentGatewayClient.list_mcp_tools(). When provided, the method uses user-scoped authentication (Phase 2 / token exchange) instead of the default system-scoped authentication, enabling principal propagation during tool discovery — consistent with howcall_mcp_tool()already works.user_tokenis supplied, callsfetch_user_auth()(token exchange via IAS user fragment) instead offetch_system_auth().user_tokenis supplied, callsexchange_user_token()(jwt-bearer grant via mTLS) instead ofget_system_token_mtls().Both flows are backwards-compatible: omitting
user_tokenpreserves the existing system-token behaviour.Type of Change
How to Test
AgentGatewayClientfor a LoB agent with a validtenant_subdomain.await agw_client.list_mcp_tools(user_token="<valid-user-jwt>")and verify tools are returned with user-scoped auth (check token exchange happens instead of client credentials).await agw_client.list_mcp_tools()(nouser_token) and verify the existing system-token behaviour is unchanged.uv run pytest tests/agentgateway/unit/test_agw_client.py::TestListMcpTools -vChecklist
Additional Notes
The
user_tokenparameter accepts both a plainstrand aCallable[[], str](consistent withcall_mcp_toolandget_user_auth), allowing lazy token resolution at call time.
