🎯 Changes Description

Current Behavior

codeql_query_compile does not pass --dump-dil to the CLI, so compiled queries never produce DIL output unless the caller manually adds it via additionalArgs. No dedicated .dil file is produced.

Updated Behavior

--dump-dil is injected by default. After successful compilation, the DIL output from stdout is persisted to a dedicated <QueryName>.dil file in a log directory. The file path is included in the tool response. Callers can suppress DIL output via dump-dil: false or --no-dump-dil in additionalArgs. This matches GitHub.vscode-codeql behavior and gives LLMs access to pre-run evaluation order analysis.

Motivation

DIL output enables calling LLMs to review expected query evaluation behavior before running a query, complementing the existing profile_codeql_query_from_logs tool which analyzes post-run evaluation logs. Persisting the DIL to a dedicated file ensures it is available for future reference and tooling integration.

🔄 Before vs. After Comparison

API Changes

// BEFORE:
inputSchema: {
  query: z.string(),
  database: z.string().optional(),
  // ... no dump-dil or logDir parameters
}

// AFTER:
inputSchema: {
  query: z.string(),
  database: z.string().optional(),
  'dump-dil': z.boolean().optional()
    .describe('Print the optimized DIL intermediate representation. Enabled by default; pass false to disable.'),
  logDir: z.string().optional()
    .describe('Directory to write the .dil file. If not provided, a unique log directory is created automatically.'),
  // ...
}

Functionality Changes

In registerCLITool, the shared codeql_query_compile/codeql_resolve_metadata case is split. The compile case now:

1. Injects dump-dil: true into options unless the caller explicitly passes dump-dil: false or --dump-dil/--no-dump-dil already appears in additionalArgs
2. Creates a log directory (using getOrCreateLogDirectory) when dump-dil is not disabled
3. After successful compilation, extracts DIL content from stdout and writes it to a <QueryName>.dil file in the log directory
4. Appends the .dil file path to the tool response

Output Format Changes

// BEFORE:
Compilation successful

// AFTER:
Compilation successful
DIL:
  predicate#abc123
    SCAN table
    SELECT col1, col2

DIL file: /path/to/logs/query-run-2026-04-09T.../MyQuery.dil

🧪 Testing & Validation

Test Coverage Updates

• Existing Tests: All 1325 tests across 60 files pass
• New Test Cases: 13 new tests added (6 handler behavior + 7 tool definition)
• Edge Case Tests: additionalArgs override scenarios and DIL file persistence covered

Validation Scenarios

1. Default injection: --dump-dil appears in CLI options when no dump-dil param is provided
2. Explicit disable: dump-dil: false prevents injection and no .dil file is created
3. additionalArgs --no-dump-dil: Suppresses default injection, passes through to CLI
4. additionalArgs --dump-dil: Prevents duplicate injection
5. DIL file persistence: .dil file is created with correct content and path is in the response
6. No DIL file when disabled: No .dil file or DIL file: in response when dump-dil: false

Test Results

• Unit Tests: All pass (1325/1325)
• Integration Tests: Client integration test assertions verify DIL file: and .dil in response

📋 Implementation Details

Files Modified

• Core Implementation: server/src/tools/codeql/query-compile.ts — added dump-dil and logDir schema parameters, updated description
• Supporting Libraries: server/src/lib/cli-tool-registry.ts — split case block, inject default, create log directory, persist .dil file post-execution, append file path to response
• Tests: server/test/src/lib/cli-tool-registry.test.ts — 6 new handler behavior tests (4 dump-dil injection + 2 DIL file persistence)
• Tests: server/test/src/tools/codeql/query-compile.test.ts — 7 tool definition tests (including logDir)
• Integration: client/integration-tests/.../compile_query/test-config.json — test fixture with assertions for DIL file output

Dependencies

• No New Dependencies

🚀 Compatibility & Migration

Backward Compatibility

• Fully Compatible: dump-dil is additive to stdout; .dil file is new output that does not affect existing workflows

API Evolution

• Enhanced Parameters: dump-dil optional boolean and logDir optional string added
• Maintained Contracts: All existing parameters and behavior preserved

👥 Review Guidelines

For Reviewers

• ⚠️ SCOPE COMPLIANCE: Only server source, tests, and integration fixture
• ⚠️ NO UNRELATED FILES: Clean diff
• ⚠️ BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY: Existing callers unaffected (new output is additive)

Testing Instructions

npm run build-and-test

# Specific tests
cd server && npx vitest run test/src/lib/cli-tool-registry.test.ts
cd server && npx vitest run test/src/tools/codeql/query-compile.test.ts

📊 Impact Assessment

Server Impact

• Startup Time: No impact
• Runtime Stability: No impact
• Resource Usage: Marginal increase in compile output size (DIL text) and one additional .dil file per compilation

AI Assistant Impact

• Enhanced Accuracy: LLMs can review DIL to understand evaluation order before running queries
• Better Coverage: Bridges gap between compile-time analysis and post-run profiling
• Improved Reliability: Dedicated .dil file ensures DIL output is persistently available for future tooling

Pull request overview

This PR enhances the codeql_query_compile MCP tool to enable --dump-dil by default and persist the resulting DIL stdout into a dedicated .dil file under a managed log directory, returning that file path in the tool response. This aligns compile-time output with downstream tooling that wants to inspect the optimized evaluation plan before running queries.

Changes:

• Extend the codeql_query_compile tool schema to include dump-dil and logDir, and update tool description/examples accordingly.
• Update registerCLITool handling for codeql_query_compile to default-inject --dump-dil, lazily create a log dir on success, write <QueryBaseName>.dil, and append the file path to the response.
• Add/extend unit tests and an integration test fixture to validate default injection and .dil persistence behavior.

effectiveDumpDilEnabled is computed as disabled when the named parameter sets dump-dil: false, even if additionalArgs includes an explicit --dump-dil. That contradicts the stated precedence of additionalArgs and will skip .dil persistence even though the CLI will likely emit DIL. Consider normalizing options['dump-dil'] based on additionalArgs (treat --dump-dil / --no-dump-dil as authoritative and avoid emitting conflicting flags), and derive effectiveDumpDilEnabled from the resulting effective CLI args.

See below for a potential fix:

        // Extract additionalArgs from options so they are passed as raw CLI
        // arguments instead of being transformed into --additionalArgs=value
        // by buildCodeQLArgs.
        let rawAdditionalArgs = Array.isArray(options.additionalArgs)
          ? options.additionalArgs as string[]
          : [];
        delete options.additionalArgs;

        // Normalize dump-dil handling so explicit raw CLI flags in
        // `additionalArgs` take precedence over the named parameter and the
        // CLI does not receive conflicting duplicates.
        const lastDumpDilFlag = [...rawAdditionalArgs].reverse().find(
          (arg) => arg === '--dump-dil' || arg === '--no-dump-dil',
        );
        if (lastDumpDilFlag === '--dump-dil') {
          options['dump-dil'] = true;
        } else if (lastDumpDilFlag === '--no-dump-dil') {
          options['dump-dil'] = false;
        }
        if (lastDumpDilFlag !== undefined) {
          rawAdditionalArgs = rawAdditionalArgs.filter(
            (arg) => arg !== '--dump-dil' && arg !== '--no-dump-dil',
          );
        }

        // Compute an effective "dump-dil enabled" flag for codeql_query_compile
        // from the normalized effective CLI options. The log directory is
        // created lazily post-success to avoid leaving empty directories
        // behind on compilation failures.
        let effectiveDumpDilEnabled = false;
        if (name === 'codeql_query_compile') {
          effectiveDumpDilEnabled = options['dump-dil'] !== false;
        }
