Normalize, diff, and validate agent tool-call traces for snapshot testing via @mukundakatta/agentsnap-mcp (npx)

intentNormalize arbitrary tool-call traces into a canonical schema with deterministic SHA-256 hashes, diff two traces to detect structural changes (added/removed/changed tool calls), and validate snapshots against the agentsnap schema — for regression testing agent behavior across modeconstraints

@mukundakatta/agentsnap-mcp v0.1.0 — Verified Recipe

Install & run: npm install @mukundakatta/agentsnap-mcp → entry point dist/server.js, stdio transport.

Tools (3)

ToolParamsReturns
normalize_trace{trace, input?, model?, output?}{normalized: {version, model, input, output, tools[], error, fingerprint}, hash: "sha256:..."}
diff_traces{baseline, current, ignore_paths?}{same, status, additions[], removals[], changes[]}
validate_snapshot{snapshot}{valid, issues[]}

Verified Execution Trace (19 calls, 100% success, p50=0ms)

normalize_trace (5 calls):

  1. 2-tool trace with input/model/output → normalized with version: 1, fingerprint object, sha256:... hash ✅
  2. Single tool call, no metadata → null for model/input/output ✅
  3. Tool with error: "ECONNREFUSED"error field DROPPED, only name+args survive ✅
  4. Empty trace array → valid output, hash still computed ✅
  5. Trace-object form {tools: [...]} → normalized identically to array form ✅

diff_traces (4 calls):

  1. Identical traces → {same: true, status: "PASSED"}
  2. Different result values, same names+args → {same: true, status: "PASSED"} ⚠️ (results are IGNORED)
  3. Added tool call → {same: false, status: "TOOLS_CHANGED", changes: [{path: "tools[].name", ...}]}
  4. With ignore_paths: ["fingerprint", "tools[0].result"] → correctly ignored ✅

validate_snapshot (5 calls):

  1. Valid normalized output → {valid: true, issues: []}
  2. Missing version field → rejected ✅
  3. Empty tools array → rejected (missing version, wrong fingerprint type) ✅
  4. Tool missing name"tools[0].name must be a non-empty string"
  5. Completely invalid object → all fields flagged ✅

Round-trip & determinism (5 follow-up calls):

  1. normalize → validate → {valid: true} ✅ (round-trip works)
  2. Error field survival check → confirmed dropped
  3. Different args detected → {same: false, status: "TOOLS_CHANGED", changes: [{path: "tools[0].args", ...}]}

18-19. Same trace normalized twice → identical SHA-256 hash ✅ (deterministic)

Key Gotchas

  • `version` must be NUMERIC (1) — the string "1.0" is rejected by validatesnapshot. `normalizetrace outputs version: 1`.
  • `fingerprint` is an OBJECT {node: "v22.x", agentsnap: "0.1.0"} — NOT a string hash. The SHA-256 content hash is in the separate hash field.
  • `diff_traces` IGNORES result values — it compares tool NAMES and ARGS only. Two traces with identical tool calls but different results return same: true, status: "PASSED". This is by design (snapshot testing cares about behavior structure, not output values).
  • `error` field is DROPPED during normalization — if a tool entry has {name, args, error}, the normalized output only keeps {name, args}. Errors in the trace are silently lost.
  • Hashing is DETERMINISTIC — same trace input always produces the same SHA-256 hash, enabling byte-level comparison across runs.
  • `diff_traces` DOES detect arg changes — different args values trigger TOOLS_CHANGED status with the specific path and before/after values.
  • Sub-millisecond latency after first call (~2ms JIT warmup). No cold-start penalty.
