feat: replace MCP attachment tool with proxy endpoint

The MCP tool approach was impractical because it required the LLM to generate large base64 strings token-by-token, causing timeouts. Changes: - Remove upload_attachment MCP tool - Add POST /api/v1/attachments endpoint for multipart/form-data uploads - Update proxy documentation to show both endpoints - Uses existing GristClient.upload_attachment() method - Requires write permission in session token

+## [1.3.0] - 2026-01-03
+
+### Added
+
+#### Attachment Upload via Proxy
+- **`POST /api/v1/attachments`**: New HTTP endpoint for file uploads
+- Uses `multipart/form-data` for efficient binary transfer (no base64 overhead)
+- Automatic MIME type detection from filename
+- Returns attachment ID for linking to records via `update_records`
+- Requires write permission in session token
+
+#### Usage
+```bash
+# Get session token with write permission
+TOKEN=$(curl -s ... | jq -r '.token')
+
+# Upload file
+curl -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -F "file=@invoice.pdf" \
+  https://example.com/api/v1/attachments
+
+# Returns: {"success": true, "data": {"attachment_id": 42, "filename": "invoice.pdf", "size_bytes": 31395}}
+```
+
+```python
+# Python example
+import requests
+
+response = requests.post(
+    f'{proxy_url.replace("/proxy", "/attachments")}',
+    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'},
+    files={'file': open('invoice.pdf', 'rb')}
+)
+attachment_id = response.json()['data']['attachment_id']
+
+# Link to record via proxy
+requests.post(proxy_url, headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'}, json={
+    'method': 'update_records',
+    'table': 'Bills',
+    'records': [{'id': 1, 'fields': {'Attachment': [attachment_id]}}]
+})
+```
+
+## [1.2.0] - 2026-01-02
+
+### Added
+
+#### Session Token Proxy
+- **Session token proxy**: Agents can request short-lived tokens for bulk operations
+- `get_proxy_documentation` MCP tool: returns complete proxy API spec
+- `request_session_token` MCP tool: creates scoped session tokens with TTL (max 1 hour)
+- `POST /api/v1/proxy` HTTP endpoint: accepts session tokens for direct API access
+- Supports all 11 Grist operations (read, write, schema) via HTTP
+
+## [1.1.0] - 2026-01-02
+
+### Added
+
+#### Logging
+- **Tool Call Logging**: Human-readable logs for every MCP tool call with agent identity, document, stats, and duration
+- **Token Truncation**: Secure token display in logs (first/last 3 chars only)
+- **Stats Extraction**: Meaningful operation stats per tool (e.g., "42 records", "3 tables")
+- **LOG_LEVEL Support**: Configure logging verbosity via environment variable (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)
+- **Health Check Suppression**: `/health` requests logged at DEBUG level to reduce noise
+
+#### Log Format
+```
+2026-01-02 10:15:23 | agent-name (abc...xyz) | get_records | sales | 42 records | success | 125ms
+```
+
+- Pipe-delimited format for easy parsing
+- Multi-line error details with indentation

-### Environment Variables
+### 4. Configure config.yaml

- `CONFIG_PATH`: Path to config file (default: `/app/config.yaml`)
- `GRIST_MCP_TOKEN`: Agent token for authentication
- Config file supports `${VAR}` syntax for API keys
+Edit `config.yaml` to define your Grist documents and agent tokens:

-## Usage
+```yaml
+# Document definitions
+documents:
+  my-document:                           # Friendly name (used in token scopes)

+    api_key: your-grist-api-key          # Grist API key (or use ${ENV_VAR} syntax)

-### Running the Server
-
-The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport over HTTP:
-
-```bash
-# Set your agent token
-export GRIST_MCP_TOKEN="your-agent-token"
-
-# Run with custom config path (defaults to port 3000)
-CONFIG_PATH=./config.yaml uv run python -m grist_mcp.main
-
-# Or specify a custom port
-PORT=8080 CONFIG_PATH=./config.yaml uv run python -m grist_mcp.main
+# Agent tokens with access scopes
+tokens:
+  - token: your-generated-token-here     # The token you generated in step 3
+    name: my-agent                       # Human-readable name
+    scope:
+      - document: my-document            # Must match a document name above
+        permissions: [read, write]       # Allowed: read, write, schema
 ```

-The server exposes two endpoints:
- `http://localhost:3000/sse` - SSE connection endpoint
- `http://localhost:3000/messages` - Message posting endpoint
+**Finding your Grist document ID**: Open your Grist document in a browser. The URL will look like:
+`https://docs.getgrist.com/abcd1234efgh5678/My-Document` - the document ID is `abcd1234efgh5678`.

-### MCP Client Configuration
+**Getting a Grist API key**: In Grist, go to Profile Settings → API → Create API Key.
+
+### 5. Create .env file
+
+Create a `.env` file with your agent token:
+
+```bash
+# .env
+GRIST_MCP_TOKEN=your-generated-token-here
+PORT=3000
+```
+
+The `GRIST_MCP_TOKEN` must match one of the tokens defined in `config.yaml`.
+
+### 6. Start the server
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The server will be available at `http://localhost:3000`.

+```
+
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| Timestamp | `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` |
+| Agent | Agent name with truncated token |
+| Tool | MCP tool name |
+| Document | Document name (or `-` for list_documents) |
+| Stats | Operation result (e.g., `42 records`, `3 tables`) |
+| Status | `success`, `auth_error`, or `error` |
+| Duration | Execution time in milliseconds |
+
+Errors include details on a second indented line:

+# Logging Improvements Design
+
+## Overview
+
+Improve MCP server logging to provide meaningful operational visibility. Replace generic HTTP request logs with application-level context including agent identity, tool usage, document access, and operation stats.
+
+## Current State
+
+Logs show only uvicorn HTTP requests with no application context:
+```
+INFO:     172.20.0.2:43254 - "POST /messages?session_id=... HTTP/1.1" 202 Accepted
+INFO:     127.0.0.1:41508 - "GET /health HTTP/1.1" 200 OK
+```
+
+## Desired State
+
+Human-readable single-line format with full context:
+```
+2025-01-02 10:15:23 | dev-agent (abc...xyz) | get_records | sales | 42 records | success | 125ms
+2025-01-02 10:15:24 | dev-agent (abc...xyz) | update_records | sales | 3 records | success | 89ms
+2025-01-02 10:15:25 | dev-agent (abc...xyz) | add_records | inventory | 5 records | error | 89ms
+    Grist API error: Invalid column 'foo'
+```
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice |
+|----------|--------|
+| Log format | Human-readable single-line (pipe-delimited) |
+| Configuration | Environment variable only (`LOG_LEVEL`) |
+| Log levels | Standard (DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR) |
+| Health checks | DEBUG level only (suppressed at INFO) |
+| Error details | Multi-line (indented on second line) |
+
+## Log Format
+
+```
+YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS | <agent_name> (<token_truncated>) | <tool> | <document> | <stats> | <status> | <duration>
+```
+
+**Token truncation:** First 3 and last 3 characters (e.g., `abc...xyz`). Tokens <=8 chars show `***`.
+
+**Document field:** Shows `-` for tools without a document (e.g., `list_documents`).
+
+## Log Levels
+
+| Level | Events |
+|-------|--------|
+| ERROR | Unhandled exceptions, Grist API failures |
+| WARNING | Auth errors (invalid token, permission denied) |
+| INFO | Tool calls (one line per call with stats) |
+| DEBUG | Health checks, detailed arguments, full results |
+
+**Environment variable:** `LOG_LEVEL` (default: `INFO`)
+
+## Stats Per Tool
+
+| Tool | Stats |
+|------|-------|
+| `list_documents` | `N docs` |
+| `list_tables` | `N tables` |
+| `describe_table` | `N columns` |
+| `get_records` | `N records` |
+| `sql_query` | `N rows` |
+| `add_records` | `N records` |
+| `update_records` | `N records` |
+| `delete_records` | `N records` |
+| `create_table` | `N columns` |
+| `add_column` | `1 column` |
+| `modify_column` | `1 column` |
+| `delete_column` | `1 column` |
+
+## Files Changed
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `src/grist_mcp/logging.py` | New - logging setup, formatters, stats extraction |
+| `src/grist_mcp/main.py` | Call `setup_logging()`, configure uvicorn logger |
+| `src/grist_mcp/server.py` | Wrap `call_tool` with logging |
+| `tests/unit/test_logging.py` | New - unit tests for logging module |
+
+Tool implementations in `tools/` remain unchanged - logging is handled at the server layer.
+
+## Testing
+
+**Unit tests:**
+- `test_setup_logging_default_level`
+- `test_setup_logging_from_env`
+- `test_token_truncation`
+- `test_extract_stats`
+- `test_format_log_line`
+- `test_error_multiline_format`
+
+**Manual verification:**
+- Run `make dev-up`, make tool calls, verify log format

+# Logging Improvements Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Add informative application-level logging that shows agent identity, tool usage, document access, and operation stats.
+
+**Architecture:** New `logging.py` module provides setup and formatting. `server.py` wraps tool calls with timing and stats extraction. `main.py` initializes logging and configures uvicorn to suppress health check noise.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python `logging` stdlib, custom `Formatter`, uvicorn log config
+

+### Task 1: Token Truncation Helper
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `src/grist_mcp/logging.py`
+- Test: `tests/unit/test_logging.py`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Create `tests/unit/test_logging.py`:
+
+```python
+"""Unit tests for logging module."""
+
+import pytest
+
+from grist_mcp.logging import truncate_token
+
+
+class TestTruncateToken:
+    def test_normal_token_shows_prefix_suffix(self):

+    def test_very_short_token_shows_asterisks(self):
+        token = "abc"
+        assert truncate_token(token) == "***"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_logging.py -v`
+Expected: FAIL with "No module named 'grist_mcp.logging'"
+
+**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
+
+Create `src/grist_mcp/logging.py`:

+    return f"{token[:3]}...{token[-3:]}"
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_logging.py -v`
+Expected: PASS (3 tests)

+**Step 3: Run tests to verify nothing broke**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest tests/unit/ -v`
+Expected: PASS (all tests)
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/grist_mcp/server.py
+git commit -m "feat(logging): add tool call logging to server"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 7: Initialize Logging in Main
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/grist_mcp/main.py`
+
+**Step 1: Add logging setup to main()**
+
+Add import at top of `src/grist_mcp/main.py`:
+
+```python
+from grist_mcp.logging import setup_logging
+```
+
+**Step 2: Call setup_logging at start of main()**
+
+In the `main()` function, add as the first line after the port/config variables:
+
+```python
+def main():
+    """Run the SSE server."""
+    port = int(os.environ.get("PORT", "3000"))
+    external_port = int(os.environ.get("EXTERNAL_PORT", str(port)))
+    config_path = os.environ.get("CONFIG_PATH", "/app/config.yaml")
+
+    setup_logging()  # <-- Add this line
+
+    if not _ensure_config(config_path):
+```
+
+**Step 3: Run tests to verify nothing broke**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest tests/unit/ -v`
+Expected: PASS (all tests)
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/grist_mcp/main.py
+git commit -m "feat(logging): initialize logging on server startup"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 8: Suppress Health Check Noise
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/grist_mcp/main.py`
+
+**Step 1: Configure uvicorn to use custom log config**
+
+Replace the `uvicorn.run` call in `main()` with:
+
+```python
+    # Configure uvicorn logging to reduce health check noise
+    log_config = uvicorn.config.LOGGING_CONFIG
+    log_config["formatters"]["default"]["fmt"] = "%(message)s"
+    log_config["formatters"]["access"]["fmt"] = "%(message)s"
+
+    uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=port, log_config=log_config)
+```
+
+**Step 2: Add health check filter**
+
+Create a filter class and apply it. Add before the `main()` function:
+
+```python
+class HealthCheckFilter(logging.Filter):
+    """Filter out health check requests at INFO level."""
+
+    def filter(self, record: logging.LogRecord) -> bool:
+        message = record.getMessage()
+        if "/health" in message:
+            # Downgrade to DEBUG by changing the level
+            record.levelno = logging.DEBUG
+            record.levelname = "DEBUG"
+        return True
+```
+
+Add import at top:
+
+```python
+import logging
+```
+
+**Step 3: Apply filter in main()**
+
+After `setup_logging()` call, add:
+
+```python
+    setup_logging()
+
+    # Add health check filter to uvicorn access logger
+    logging.getLogger("uvicorn.access").addFilter(HealthCheckFilter())
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run tests to verify nothing broke**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest tests/unit/ -v`
+Expected: PASS (all tests)
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/grist_mcp/main.py
+git commit -m "feat(logging): suppress health checks at INFO level"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 9: Manual Verification
+
+**Step 1: Start development environment**
+
+Run: `make dev-up`
+
+**Step 2: Make some tool calls**
+
+Use Claude Code or another MCP client to call some tools (list_documents, get_records, etc.)
+
+**Step 3: Verify log format**
+
+Check docker logs show the expected format:
+```
+2026-01-02 10:15:23 | dev-agent (abc...xyz) | get_records | sales | 42 records | success | 125ms
+```
+
+**Step 4: Test DEBUG level**
+
+Restart with `LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG` and verify:
+- Health checks appear
+- Detailed args appear for each call
+
+**Step 5: Clean up**
+
+Run: `make dev-down`
+
+---
+
+### Task 10: Update Module Exports
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/grist_mcp/logging.py`
+
+**Step 1: Add __all__ export list**
+
+At the top of `src/grist_mcp/logging.py` (after imports), add:
+
+```python
+__all__ = [
+    "setup_logging",
+    "get_logger",
+    "truncate_token",
+    "extract_stats",
+    "format_tool_log",
+]
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run all tests**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest tests/unit/ -v`
+Expected: PASS (all tests)
+
+**Step 3: Final commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/grist_mcp/logging.py
+git commit -m "chore(logging): add module exports"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+After completing all tasks, the logging module provides:
+- `LOG_LEVEL` environment variable support (DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR)
+- Human-readable pipe-delimited log format
+- Token truncation for security
+- Stats extraction per tool type
+- Health check suppression at INFO level
+- Multi-line error details
+
+The implementation follows TDD with frequent commits, keeping each change small and verifiable.

+# Session Token Proxy Design
+
+## Problem
+
+When an agent needs to insert, update, or query thousands of records, the LLM must generate all that JSON in its response. This is slow regardless of how fast the actual API call is. The LLM generation time is the bottleneck.
+
+## Solution
+
+Add a "session token" mechanism that lets agents delegate bulk data operations to scripts that call grist-mcp directly over HTTP, bypassing LLM generation entirely.
+
+## Flow
+
+```
+1. Agent calls MCP tool:
+   request_session_token(document="sales", permissions=["write"], ttl_seconds=300)
+
+2. Server generates token, stores in memory:
+   {"sess_abc123...": {document: "sales", permissions: ["write"], expires: <timestamp>}}
+
+3. Server returns token to agent:
+   {"token": "sess_abc123...", "expires_in": 300, "proxy_url": "/api/v1/proxy"}
+
+4. Agent spawns script with token:
+   python bulk_insert.py --token sess_abc123... --file data.csv
+
+5. Script calls grist-mcp HTTP endpoint:
+   POST /api/v1/proxy
+   Authorization: Bearer sess_abc123...
+   {"table": "Orders", "method": "add_records", "records": [...]}
+
+6. Server validates token, executes against Grist, returns result
+```
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| Token scope | Single document + permission level | Simpler than multi-doc; matches existing permission model |
+| Token storage | In-memory dict | Appropriate for short-lived tokens; restart invalidates (acceptable) |
+| HTTP interface | Wrapped endpoint `/api/v1/proxy` | Simpler than mirroring Grist API paths |
+| Request format | Discrete fields (table, method, etc.) | Scripts don't need to know Grist internals or doc IDs |
+| Document in request | Implicit from token | Token is scoped to one document; no need to specify |
+| Server architecture | Single process, add routes | Already running HTTP for SSE; just add routes |
+
+## MCP Tool: get_proxy_documentation
+
+Returns complete documentation for the HTTP proxy API. Agents call this when writing scripts that will use the proxy.

+- `UNAUTHORIZED` - Permission denied for this operation
+- `INVALID_TOKEN` - Token format invalid or not found
+- `TOKEN_EXPIRED` - Token has expired
+- `INVALID_REQUEST` - Malformed request body
+- `GRIST_ERROR` - Error from Grist API
+
+## Implementation Architecture
+
+### New Files
+
+**`src/grist_mcp/session.py`** - Session token management:
+```python
+@dataclass
+class SessionToken:
+    token: str
+    document: str
+    permissions: list[str]
+    agent_name: str
+    created_at: datetime
+    expires_at: datetime
+
+class SessionTokenManager:
+    def __init__(self):
+        self._tokens: dict[str, SessionToken] = {}
+
+    def create_token(self, agent: Agent, document: str,
+                     permissions: list[str], ttl_seconds: int) -> SessionToken:
+        """Create a new session token. Validates permissions against agent's scope."""
+        ...
+
+    def validate_token(self, token: str) -> SessionToken | None:
+        """Validate token and return session info. Returns None if invalid/expired."""
+        # Also cleans up this token if expired
+        ...
+
+    def cleanup_expired(self) -> int:
+        """Remove all expired tokens. Returns count removed."""
+        ...
+```
+
+**`src/grist_mcp/proxy.py`** - HTTP proxy handler:
+```python
+async def handle_proxy(
+    scope: Scope,
+    receive: Receive,
+    send: Send,
+    token_manager: SessionTokenManager,
+    auth: Authenticator
+) -> None:
+    """Handle POST /api/v1/proxy requests."""
+    # 1. Extract Bearer token from Authorization header
+    # 2. Validate session token
+    # 3. Parse request body (method, table, etc.)
+    # 4. Check permissions for requested method
+    # 5. Build GristClient for the token's document
+    # 6. Dispatch to appropriate tool function
+    # 7. Return JSON response
+```
+
+### Modified Files
+
+**`src/grist_mcp/main.py`**:
+- Import `SessionTokenManager` and `handle_proxy`
+- Instantiate `SessionTokenManager` in `create_app()`
+- Add route: `elif path == "/api/v1/proxy" and method == "POST"`
+- Pass `token_manager` to `create_server()`
+
+**`src/grist_mcp/server.py`**:
+- Accept `token_manager` parameter in `create_server()`
+- Add `get_proxy_documentation` tool to `list_tools()` (no parameters, returns static docs)
+- Add `request_session_token` tool to `list_tools()`
+- Add handlers in `call_tool()` for both tools
+
+## Security
+
+1. **No privilege escalation** - Session token can only grant permissions the agent already has for the document. Validated at token creation.
+
+2. **Short-lived by default** - 5 minute default TTL, 1 hour maximum cap.
+
+3. **Token format** - Prefixed with `sess_` to distinguish from agent tokens. Generated with `secrets.token_urlsafe(32)`.
+
+4. **Lazy cleanup** - Expired tokens removed during validation. No background task needed.
+
+5. **Audit logging** - Token creation and proxy requests logged with agent name, document, method.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+**`tests/unit/test_session.py`**:
+- Token creation with valid permissions
+- Token creation fails when exceeding agent permissions
+- Token validation succeeds for valid token
+- Token validation fails for expired token
+- Token validation fails for unknown token
+- TTL capping at maximum
+- Cleanup removes expired tokens
+
+**`tests/unit/test_proxy.py`**:
+- Request parsing for each method type
+- Error response for invalid token
+- Error response for expired token
+- Error response for permission denied
+- Error response for malformed request
+- Successful dispatch to each tool function (mocked)
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+**`tests/integration/test_session_proxy.py`**:
+- Full flow: MCP token request → HTTP proxy call → Grist operation
+- Verify data actually written to Grist
+- Verify token expiry prevents access

+# Attachment Upload Feature Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-03
+**Status:** Approved
+
+## Summary
+
+Add an `upload_attachment` MCP tool to upload files to Grist documents and receive an attachment ID for linking to records.
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| Content encoding | Base64 string | MCP tools use JSON; binary must be encoded |
+| Batch support | Single file only | YAGNI; caller can loop if needed |
+| Linking behavior | Upload only, return ID | Single responsibility; use existing `update_records` to link |
+| Download support | Not included | YAGNI; can add later if needed |
+| Permission level | Write | Attachments are data, not schema |
+| Proxy support | MCP tool only | Reduces scope; scripts can use Grist API directly |
+
+## Tool Interface
+
+### Input Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "object",
+  "properties": {
+    "document": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "Document name"
+    },
+    "filename": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "Filename with extension (e.g., 'invoice.pdf')"
+    },
+    "content_base64": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "File content as base64-encoded string"
+    },
+    "content_type": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "MIME type (optional, auto-detected from filename if omitted)"
+    }
+  },
+  "required": ["document", "filename", "content_base64"]
+}
+```
+
+### Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "attachment_id": 42,
+  "filename": "invoice.pdf",
+  "size_bytes": 30720
+}
+```
+
+### Usage Example
+
+```python
+# 1. Upload attachment
+result = upload_attachment(
+    document="accounting",
+    filename="Invoice-001.pdf",
+    content_base64="JVBERi0xLjQK..."
+)
+
+# 2. Link to record via existing update_records tool
+update_records("Bills", [{
+    "id": 1,
+    "fields": {"Attachment": [result["attachment_id"]]}
+}])
+```
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Files to Modify
+
+1. **`src/grist_mcp/grist_client.py`** - Add `upload_attachment()` method
+2. **`src/grist_mcp/tools/write.py`** - Add tool function
+3. **`src/grist_mcp/server.py`** - Register tool
+
+### GristClient Method
+
+```python
+async def upload_attachment(
+    self,
+    filename: str,
+    content: bytes,
+    content_type: str | None = None
+) -> dict:
+    """Upload a file attachment. Returns attachment metadata."""
+    if content_type is None:
+        content_type = "application/octet-stream"
+
+    files = {"upload": (filename, content, content_type)}

+### Tool Function
+
+```python
+import base64
+import mimetypes
+
+async def upload_attachment(
+    agent: Agent,
+    auth: Authenticator,
+    document: str,
+    filename: str,
+    content_base64: str,
+    content_type: str | None = None,
+    client: GristClient | None = None,
+) -> dict:
+    """Upload a file attachment to a document."""
+    auth.authorize(agent, document, Permission.WRITE)
+
+    # Decode base64
+    try:
+        content = base64.b64decode(content_base64)
+    except Exception:
+        raise ValueError("Invalid base64 encoding")
+
+    # Auto-detect MIME type if not provided
+    if content_type is None:
+        content_type, _ = mimetypes.guess_type(filename)
+        if content_type is None:
+            content_type = "application/octet-stream"
+
+    if client is None:
+        doc = auth.get_document(document)
+        client = GristClient(doc)
+
+    return await client.upload_attachment(filename, content, content_type)
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Error | Cause | Response |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| Invalid base64 | Malformed content_base64 | `ValueError: Invalid base64 encoding` |
+| Authorization | Agent lacks write permission | `AuthError` (existing pattern) |
+| Grist API error | Upload fails | `httpx.HTTPStatusError` (existing pattern) |
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+**`tests/unit/test_tools_write.py`:**
+- `test_upload_attachment_success` - Valid base64, returns attachment_id
+- `test_upload_attachment_invalid_base64` - Raises ValueError
+- `test_upload_attachment_auth_required` - Verifies write permission check
+- `test_upload_attachment_mime_detection` - Auto-detects type from filename
+
+**`tests/unit/test_grist_client.py`:**
+- `test_upload_attachment_api_call` - Correct multipart request format
+- `test_upload_attachment_with_explicit_content_type` - Passes through MIME type
+
+### Mock Approach
+
+Mock `httpx.AsyncClient` responses; no Grist server needed for unit tests.
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+Not included in this implementation (YAGNI):
+- Batch upload (multiple files)
+- Download attachment
+- Proxy API support
+- Size limit validation (rely on Grist's limits)
+
+These can be added if real use cases emerge.

Bill	a7c87128ef	feat: replace MCP attachment tool with proxy endpoint All checks were successful Build and Push Docker Image / build (push) Successful in 8s Details The MCP tool approach was impractical because it required the LLM to generate large base64 strings token-by-token, causing timeouts. Changes: - Remove upload_attachment MCP tool - Add POST /api/v1/attachments endpoint for multipart/form-data uploads - Update proxy documentation to show both endpoints - Uses existing GristClient.upload_attachment() method - Requires write permission in session token	2026-01-03 20:26:36 -05:00

The create_server function now accepts an optional token_manager parameter (SessionTokenManager \| None) to maintain backward compatibility. When token_manager is None, request_session_token returns an error message instead of creating tokens.	2026-01-02 13:51:47 -05:00
Bill	fb6d4af973	feat(tools): add request_session_token tool Add MCP tool for agents to request short-lived session tokens for HTTP proxy access. The tool validates that agents can only request permissions they already have (no privilege escalation). - Validates document access and each requested permission - Creates session token via SessionTokenManager - Returns token metadata including proxy URL and expiration - Includes tests for success case and permission denial scenarios	2026-01-02 13:45:07 -05:00
Bill	a7bb11d765	feat(tools): add get_proxy_documentation tool Add a new MCP tool that returns complete documentation for the HTTP proxy API. This enables agents to get all the information they need to construct valid proxy requests when writing scripts. The tool is stateless and returns a static documentation dict describing endpoints, methods, authentication, and example usage.	2026-01-02 13:39:02 -05:00
