# Task ID: 48 **Title:** Implement begin_session tool for gated sessions **Status:** done **Dependencies:** 46 ✓, 47 ✓ **Priority:** high **Description:** Create the begin_session MCP tool that accepts 5 keywords, triggers prompt selection, returns matched content with encouragement, and ungates the session. **Details:** 1. Add begin_session tool definition in `/src/mcplocal/src/router.ts`: ```typescript private getBeginSessionTool(): Tool { return { name: 'begin_session', description: 'Start your session by providing 5 keywords that describe your current task. You\'ll receive relevant project context, policies, and guidelines. Required before using other tools.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { tags: { type: 'array', items: { type: 'string' }, maxItems: 10, description: '5 keywords describing your current task' } }, required: ['tags'] } }; } ``` 2. Implement begin_session handler: - Validate tags array (1-10 items) - Call LlmPromptSelector or TagMatcher based on LLM availability - Fetch full content for selected prompts - Build response with matched content + index + encouragement - Ungate session - Send `notifications/tools/list_changed` 3. Response format: ``` [Priority 10 prompts - full content] [Tag-matched prompts - full content, priority-ordered] Other prompts available that may become relevant... - name: summary ... If any seem related, request them with read_prompts({ tags: [...] }). ``` **Test Strategy:** - Unit test: begin_session with valid tags returns matched prompts - Unit test: begin_session includes priority 10 prompts always - Unit test: begin_session response includes encouragement text - Unit test: begin_session response includes prompt index - Unit test: Session ungated after successful begin_session - Unit test: notifications/tools/list_changed sent after ungating - Unit test: Empty tags handled (returns priority 10 only) - Unit test: Invalid tags rejected with error - Unit test: begin_session while already ungated returns error
