[v2] MRTR wipe-cache example reads unvalidated elicitation content and defaults malformed scope to all

打开 docs/servers/input-required.md，找到“Carry state across rounds with requestState”清除缓存示例。阅读页面前面支持 schema 的 acceptedContent() 用法，然后更新确认和范围处理，以便在运行时验证客户端内容。完成标准是：范围无效或缺失的请求会重新要求输入，而不是默认使用“all”。

What happened?

The v2 input_required documentation correctly states that
ctx.mcpReq.inputResponses is client-provided and untrusted, and recommends
using the schema-aware overload of acceptedContent().

However, the sequential wipe-cache example uses the unchecked generic
overload for both confirmation and scope:

const confirmed = acceptedContent<{ confirm: boolean }>(
    ctx.mcpReq.inputResponses,
    'confirm'
);

It later treats that response as proof that the operator confirmed:

if (confirmed?.confirm !== true) {
    return inputRequired({
        inputRequests: {
            confirm: inputRequired.elicit({
                message: 'Really wipe the cache?',
                requestedSchema: {
                    type: 'object',
                    properties: {
                        confirm: {
                            type: 'boolean'
                        }
                    },
                    required: ['confirm']
                }
            })
        }
    });
}

return inputRequired({
    inputRequests: {
        scope: inputRequired.elicit({
            message: 'Which scope?',
            requestedSchema: {
                type: 'object',
                properties: {
                    scope: {
                        type: 'string'
                    }
                },
                required: ['scope']
            }
        })
    },
    requestState: await stateCodec.mint({
        step: 'confirmed'
    })
});

The generic type parameter only affects TypeScript typing. It does not perform
runtime validation of the client-provided value.

For example, a malformed accepted response could contain:

{
  "action": "accept",
  "content": {
    "confirm": "false"
  }
}

The string "false" is truthy in JavaScript. Because the example only checks:

confirmed?.confirm !== true

this particular value does not equal the boolean true, so the current
!== true check fails closed.

However, the example still demonstrates reading untrusted client content using
a compile-time generic instead of the runtime-validating overload. A copied or
slightly modified version using a normal truthiness check such as:

if (!confirmed?.confirm) {
    // request confirmation
}

would treat "false" as confirmation.

The same example later reads the requested scope with the unchecked overload:

const scope = acceptedContent<{ scope: string }>(
    ctx.mcpReq.inputResponses,
    'scope'
);

return {
    content: [{
        type: 'text',
        text: `Wiped ${scope?.scope ?? 'all'}`
    }]
};

If the scope response is missing, malformed, or of an unexpected type, the
example falls back to "all". That feels unsafe for a destructive example and
conflicts with the page's earlier guidance to validate inputResponses using
the schema-aware overload.

This is primarily a documentation and defensive API-usage issue, not a claim
that a malicious MCP client gains a capability it did not already possess.

What did you expect?

I expected the destructive wipe-cache example to follow the page's own
guidance and validate all client-provided elicitation content at runtime.

For example:

const confirmationSchema = z.object({
    confirm: z.boolean()
});

const scopeSchema = z.object({
    scope: z.string()
});

const confirmed = acceptedContent(
    ctx.mcpReq.inputResponses,
    'confirm',
    confirmationSchema
);

if (confirmed?.confirm !== true) {
    return inputRequired({
        inputRequests: {
            confirm: inputRequired.elicit({
                message: 'Really wipe the cache?',
                requestedSchema: confirmationSchema
            })
        }
    });
}

const scope = acceptedContent(
    ctx.mcpReq.inputResponses,
    'scope',
    scopeSchema
);

if (scope === undefined) {
    return inputRequired({
        inputRequests: {
            scope: inputRequired.elicit({
                message: 'Which scope?',
                requestedSchema: scopeSchema
            })
        }
    });
}

return {
    content: [{
        type: 'text',
        text: `Wiped ${scope.scope}`
    }]
};

The example should also fail closed when scope content is missing or invalid,
rather than defaulting to "all".

Code to reproduce

Documentation page:

`docs/servers/input-required.md`

Relevant section:

`Carry state across rounds with requestState`

Relevant example:


const confirmed = acceptedContent<{ confirm: boolean }>(
    ctx.mcpReq.inputResponses,
    'confirm'
);

const scope = acceptedContent<{ scope: string }>(
    ctx.mcpReq.inputResponses,
    'scope'
);

return {
    content: [{
        type: 'text',
        text: `Wiped ${scope?.scope ?? 'all'}`
    }]
};


Minimal demonstration that the generic type does not validate at runtime:


const clientContent: unknown = {
    confirm: 'false'
};

const confirmed =
    clientContent as {
        confirm: boolean;
    };

console.log(typeof confirmed.confirm);
// "string"

console.log(Boolean(confirmed.confirm));
// true


The cast changes the TypeScript type but does not transform or validate the
runtime value.
