MCP tool schemas using $ref/$defs cause 400 on every request with Moonshot/Kimi models

Parti dal punto di ingresso cmd e segui come vengono convertiti gli schemi degli strumenti MCP prima dell'invio delle richieste al provider; l'issue non indica file o test del repository. Confronta il percorso Moonshot con i percorsi di Claude Code e Codex, quindi verifica che lo schema $ref/$defs segnalato non provochi più un 400 e che la sessione rimanga utilizzabile.

Summary

When an MCP server exposes a tool whose input schema uses $ref + $defs (valid JSON Schema, and valid per the MCP spec), Command Code passes the schema to the Moonshot/Kimi API in a form it rejects — and because tool definitions accompany every request, every turn of the session fails with a 400, making the CLI unusable with that MCP server attached.

Error

⚠  Error: 400 Invalid request: tools.function.parameters is not a valid moonshot flavored
   json schema, details: <At path 'properties.external.$ref': $defs not found for reference:
   #/$defs/IdentifySessionExternalParams>

Seen on v0.51.0 and still present after updating to v0.52.1, model moonshotai/Kimi-K2.7-Code-Highspeed.

Repro

1. Configure any MCP server that emits a $ref-based tool schema. In my case: the Solo app's MCP server, whose identify_session tool declares:

{
  "$defs": {
    "IdentifySessionExternalParams": {
      "properties": {
        "agent_id": {"type": "string"},
        "metadata": {"additionalProperties": true, "default": {}, "type": "object"},
        "name": {"type": "string"}
      },
      "required": ["name"],
      "type": "object"
    }
  },
  "properties": {
    "external": {
      "$ref": "#/$defs/IdentifySessionExternalParams",
      "description": "External actor details for callers that are not Solo-managed processes."
    },
    "solo_process_id": {"format": "int64", "type": "integer"},
    "pid": {"format": "uint32", "minimum": 0, "type": "integer"}
  },
  "type": "object"
}

2. Start cmd with a Kimi model and send any message.
3. Every request 400s with the error above.

Note the schema does include a top-level $defs — the Moonshot error says $defs not found, which suggests the conversion layer strips/loses $defs while leaving the $ref dangling (or Moonshot's "flavored" schema simply doesn't support refs at all).

Expected

Command Code should dereference/inline $refs when converting MCP tool schemas for providers whose "flavored" JSON Schema doesn't support them (Moonshot at minimum). Claude Code and Codex handle the same MCP server fine because the Anthropic/OpenAI APIs accept $ref schemas.

A degraded-but-better alternative: drop the offending tool from the tool list with a warning, instead of letting one incompatible schema hard-fail the entire session.

Workaround

Disable the offending MCP server in ~/.commandcode/mcp.json ("enabled": false).
