## Summary - Improve tool call error messages across 4 libraries (arcade-core, arcade-tdk, arcade-mcp-server, arcade-serve) so agents can self-correct and Datadog can facet on structured fields - Guard empty error messages, enrich input validation errors with field-level detail, fix `@tool` decorator fallback formatting, surface `additional_prompt_content` in MCP responses, and add structured log extras for Datadog - Addresses the 3 worst error patterns: generic "Error in tool input deserialization", bare `KeyError` values, and empty `FatalToolError` messages **Linear:** TOO-627 **Plan:** `docs/plans/2026-04-08-improve-error-messages-handoff.md` ## Tasks - [ ] Task 1: Guard empty error messages (arcade-core) - [ ] Task 2: Enrich input validation error messages (arcade-core) - [ ] Task 3: Improve `@tool` decorator error fallback (arcade-tdk) - [ ] Task 4: Fix MCP agent-facing error response (arcade-mcp-server) - [ ] Task 5: Add structured log extras in BaseWorker (arcade-serve) - [ ] Task 6: Add structured log extras in MCP server (arcade-mcp-server) ## Test plan - [ ] Each task has dedicated unit tests verifying the new behavior - [ ] `make test` passes after all tasks - [ ] `make check` (ruff + mypy) passes - [ ] Verify the 3 worst error patterns now produce actionable messages 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **Medium Risk** > Touches cross-library error formatting and logging behavior used in production tool execution paths; while mostly additive/guardrails, it changes agent-visible messages and Datadog log facets, which could impact client expectations and alerting. > > **Overview** > Improves tool-call error handling across core/runtime, MCP transport, worker transport, and the TDK to make agent-visible failures more actionable while *reducing sensitive-data leakage*. > > In `arcade-core`, empty error messages now get placeholders, `ToolOutputFactory.fail*` defaults blank messages, and input validation errors are rewritten as field-level summaries that intentionally omit rejected values (avoiding Pydantic echo of secrets). The `@tool` fallback in `arcade-tdk` no longer surfaces `str(exception)` to agents; it returns exception *type-only* in `message` while preserving full detail in `developer_message`. > > Adds a shared `build_tool_error_log_extra` helper and updates `arcade-serve` + `arcade-mcp-server` to emit consistent structured WARNING logs (`error_*`, `tool_name`, optional toolkit/version) for Datadog, while MCP error responses now append `additional_prompt_content` and force `structuredContent=None` on failures per spec. Includes extensive new tests and bumps package versions (`arcade-core` 4.6.2, `arcade-tdk` 3.6.1, `arcade-mcp-server` 1.19.3, `arcade-serve` 3.2.3). > > <sup>Reviewed by [Cursor Bugbot](https://cursor.com/bugbot) for commit e5c7ebcaf56176cfbd8e6d1f2b6295352abd0ec0.

Arcade Core
Core library for the Arcade platform providing foundational components and utilities.
Overview
Arcade Core provides the essential building blocks for the Arcade platform:
- Tool Catalog & Toolkit Management: Core classes for managing and organizing tools
- Configuration & Schema Handling: Configuration management and validation
- Authentication & Authorization: Auth providers and security utilities
- Error Handling: Comprehensive error types and handling
- Telemetry & Observability: Monitoring and tracing capabilities
- Utilities: Common helper functions and validators
Installation
pip install arcade-core
Usage
- Install an arcade toolkit
pip install arcade-math
- Load the toolkit
import arcade_math
from arcade_core import ToolCatalog, Toolkit
# Create a tool catalog
catalog = ToolCatalog()
# Load a toolkit
toolkit = Toolkit.from_module(arcade_math)
