Implementation Complete: get_services MCP Tool (Part of #7827)

  • Create types file (get_services.go) in internal/types/ directory
  • Create handler file (get_services.go) in internal/handlers/ directory
  • Create comprehensive test file (get_services_test.go) with 12 test cases
  • Register get_services tool at the top of registerTools() function in server.go
  • Update ADR-002 to mark get_services as completed in Phase 2
  • Run make fmt - ✅ passed successfully
  • Run make lint - ✅ passed with 0 issues
  • Run make test - ✅ all tests pass (12/12 for get_services)
  • Verify code coverage > 95% - ✅ 100% coverage for both functions
  • Final verification - ✅ module compiles and all tests pass
  • Sort services before applying limit for consistent results
  • Add test for NewGetServicesHandler constructor function

Summary

Successfully implemented the get_services MCP tool as requested in issue #7827. This tool enables users to discover available service names, which is essential for using search_traces since it requires a service_name parameter.

Key Features:

  • Service Discovery: Lists all available service names from storage
  • Pattern Filtering: Supports regex pattern matching for filtering services
  • Limit Control: Configurable limit (default: 100 services)
  • Consistent Ordering: Services are sorted alphabetically before applying limit
  • Comprehensive Error Handling: Invalid patterns, storage failures, edge cases
  • 100% Test Coverage: 12 test cases covering all scenarios including constructor

Files Changed:

  • 3 new files created (types, handler, tests)
  • 2 files modified (server.go, ADR-002)

Tool Position:

Registered at the top of registerTools() as required, making it the first tool users encounter. This is critical because search_traces depends on service names discovered through this tool.

Testing:

  • All 12 get_services tests pass
  • All existing MCP tests continue to pass
  • No regressions introduced
  • Code quality verified with fmt and lint
  • 100% code coverage for all functions

This implementation completes the requirements from issue #7827.

Original prompt

#7827

we're missing get_service tool, whichout which search_traces is not useful since it requires a service name. Add this tool to the ADR-002 in all relevant places and implement. The input should accept an optional regex to filter the list of services. The tool should be at the top inside registerTools() function.

State Part of #7827 in the PR description. Run make fmt make lint and make test to success everytime before pushing to remove branch. Ensure code coverage for new code over 95%. Update ADR to reflect progress.
