Extension SDK Improvements — Integration, Security, Runtime, Cleanup

Summary

Consolidated PR delivering the remaining Extension SDK and MCP Framework improvements from the Extension Framework Improvements initiative. These features were identified through a multi-model code review across 5 production extensions (azd-app, azd-exec, azd-copilot, azd-rest) and a shared library (azd-core), revealing ~2,500-4,000 lines of duplicated infrastructure across the ecosystem.

Note: Key Vault secret resolution was extracted to PR #7043 (issue #7042) to reduce scope and allow independent review.

Changes

P1 Config Helpers (#6945)

Config Helpers

Why: Extensions need typed configuration loading from ~/.azd/config.json with defaults. Each extension builds its own config loader.
Evidence: azd-app implements custom Config/AppConfig structs with Load(), Save(), and AtomicWriteJSON — 75 lines of boilerplate per extension.
Change: config_helper.go — ConfigHelper with typed loading, saving, defaults, and atomic writes. config_helper_test.go — 967 lines of comprehensive tests.

P2 Output & Structured Logging (#6946)

Output Helpers

Why: Extensions produce inconsistent output — some use ANSI colors, others plain text. No standard for JSON-mode output or structured tables. Users experience different formatting across extensions.
Evidence: azd-core/cliout provides Success(), Error(), Warning(), Table(), SetFormat() — used by azd-app and all other extensions. Without framework support, every extension depends on azd-core for consistent output.
Change: output.go — Output helper with format-aware rendering (text, JSON, table), ANSI color support. output_test.go — 358 lines of tests.

Structured Logger

Why: Each extension sets up identical structured logging with debug mode detection. The pattern is the same everywhere but not provided by the framework.
Evidence: azd-core/logutil provides SetupLogger(debug, structured) with JSON/text format selection and component-scoped loggers.
Change: logger.go — SetupLogger and ComponentLogger with slog integration. logger_test.go — 295 lines of tests.

P2 Security Validation & SSRF Guard (#6947)

Security Validation

Why: Extensions handling user input need path traversal prevention, service name validation, script name sanitization, and container environment detection. Each extension must discover and import these from azd-core.
Evidence: azd-core/security provides ValidatePath() (L33 — detects .., resolves symlinks), ValidateServiceName() (L85 — DNS-safe regex), SanitizeScriptName() (L129 — blocks shell metacharacters), and IsContainerEnvironment() (L148 — detects Docker, Codespaces, K8s).
Change: security_validation.go — ValidatePath, ValidateServiceName, SanitizeScriptName, IsContainerEnvironment. security_validation_test.go — 354 lines of tests.

SSRF Guard

Why: MCP tools making HTTP requests on behalf of AI models are particularly vulnerable to SSRF attacks. Extensions must independently implement blocklists for cloud metadata endpoints, private network CIDRs, and URL validation with DNS resolution. This is complex, security-critical code that should not be duplicated.
Evidence: azd-rest hardcodes its own SSRF protection — blockedHeaders (L34), blockedHosts including 169.254.169.254 and fd00:ec2::254 (L42), 7 blockedCIDRs for IPv4/IPv6 loopback, link-local, and RFC 1918 (L49-66), plus isBlockedIP() (L84) and isBlockedURL() with DNS resolution (L96-134).
Change: ssrf_guard.go + ssrf_common.go — SSRFGuard with fluent builder pattern, metadata endpoint blocking, private network blocking, HTTPS enforcement, DNS resolution, IPv6 embedded IPv4 extraction, OnBlocked callback. ssrf_guard_test.go — 552 lines of tests. Also refactored mcp_security.go to use shared SSRF primitives.

P3 Runtime Utilities (#6948)

Shell Detection & Execution

Why: Extensions executing scripts need to detect shells from file extensions/shebangs and build correct command arguments per shell. azd-exec has TWO separate implementations — one for CLI, one for MCP — that should be unified.
Evidence: azd-core/shellutil provides constants for 6 shells plus DetectShell(). azd-exec duplicates shell argument building in its MCP handler separately from its CLI handler.
Change: shell.go — DetectShell, ShellInfo, BuildCommand, IsInteractiveTerminal (using golang.org/x/term), shell type constants. shell_test.go — 258 lines of tests.

Atomic File Operations

Why: Extensions writing config files risk corruption from partial writes. The temp-file-then-rename pattern is well-known but each extension implements it independently.
Evidence: azd-core/fileutil provides AtomicWriteJSON() and AtomicWriteFile() — write to temp, sync, set permissions, rename.
Change: atomicfile.go — AtomicWriteFile, AtomicWriteJSON with platform-aware temp file placement. atomicfile_test.go — 322 lines of tests.

Process Management

Why: Extensions monitoring services need reliable cross-platform process detection. On Windows, stale PIDs are a real problem — a PID may be reused by a different process, so simple os.FindProcess isn't reliable.
Evidence: azd-core/procutil uses gopsutil for accurate detection across Windows/Linux/macOS.
Change: process.go + platform-specific files (process_windows.go, process_linux.go, process_darwin.go) — IsProcessRunning, GetProcessInfo, WaitForProcessExit using native OS APIs (Windows: OpenProcess+QueryFullProcessImageNameW, Linux: /proc, macOS: ps). EPERM handling on Unix for permission-denied processes. process_test.go — 221 lines of tests.

TUI Helpers

Why: Extensions launching interactive terminal apps face complex platform-specific TTY challenges. When azd captures stdio for gRPC, child processes can't detect a TTY.
Evidence: azd-copilot implements 70+ lines of platform-specific hacking — Windows SetStdHandle() for CONIN$/CONOUT$, Unix /dev/tty bypass.
Change: tui.go — LaunchTUI with platform-specific stdin/stdout reattachment. tui_test.go — 240 lines of tests.

Tool Discovery

Why: Extensions integrating with external tools (node, python, docker) need to find executables across PATH and system directories, with helpful install suggestions when missing.
Evidence: azd-core/pathutil provides FindToolInPath() with Windows .exe handling and GetInstallSuggestion() for 18+ tools.
Change: tooldiscovery.go — FindTool, GetInstallSuggestion, RequireTool, BuildPATH. tooldiscovery_test.go — 268 lines of tests.

Cleanup (#6949)

Context Ownership & Package Boundaries

Why: After the P0 SDK helpers landed (feat: Extension SDK helpers — command scaffolding, MCP utilities, and security policy #6856), some types ended up in suboptimal package locations. This cleanup moves them to correct packages and clarifies context propagation boundaries between host and extensions.
Changes: context.go — additional context helpers. extension_command.go — package boundary clarification. scope_detector.go — custom rule precedence fix (custom rules now prepend before defaults). token_provider.go — simplified. mcp_server_builder.go — minor additions.

Resilient HTTP Client Improvements

Why: Copilot review identified security and correctness issues in the existing resilient HTTP client (merged in P0).
Changes: resilient_http_client.go — bounded body drain (1 MiB via io.LimitReader), improved defaults handling. resilient_http_client_test.go — updated tests.

Pagination Improvements

Why: Copilot review identified security issues — unsanitized error bodies and nextLink validation gaps.
Changes: pagination.go — sanitizeControlChars for error bodies, validateNextLink now rejects relative URLs and non-HTTPS schemes. pagination_test.go — updated tests.

Documentation

extension-e2e-walkthrough.md — 477-line end-to-end guide
extension-migration-guide.md — 554-line migration guide from azd-core
extension-sdk-reference.md — 705-line SDK reference
extension-framework.md — updated with new capabilities

validateNextLink allows nextLink values with an empty scheme/host (e.g. relative URLs like /page2) and will accept them without SSRF host validation. This will later fail in http.NewRequest/Do() (missing scheme/host) and is also inconsistent with the comment that nextLink “must stay on the same host with HTTPS”. Consider requiring an absolute HTTPS URL (or explicitly resolving relative URLs against the current/origin URL and then enforcing same-host + https).

// validateNextLink checks that a nextLink URL is safe to follow.
// It rejects non-HTTPS schemes, URLs with embedded credentials, and
// URLs pointing to a different host than the original request (SSRF protection).
func (p *Pager[T]) validateNextLink(nextLink string) error {
	u, err := url.Parse(nextLink)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("invalid nextLink URL: %w", err)
	}

	if u.Scheme != "" && u.Scheme != "https" {
		return fmt.Errorf("nextLink must use HTTPS (got %q)", u.Scheme)
	}

	if u.User != nil {
		return errors.New("nextLink must not contain user credentials")
	}

	host := strings.ToLower(u.Hostname())
	if host != "" && p.originHost != "" && host != p.originHost {
		return fmt.Errorf("nextLink host %q does not match origin host %q (possible SSRF)", host, p.originHost)
	}

	return nil

Pager.NextPage reads the response body with io.LimitReader(resp.Body, maxPageResponseSize) and then unmarshals it. If the server returns more than maxPageResponseSize bytes, the body will be silently truncated and the JSON decode error will be misleading. Consider restoring the prior pattern of reading maxPageResponseSize+1 and returning an explicit "response exceeds max page size" error when the limit is exceeded.

	data, err := io.ReadAll(io.LimitReader(resp.Body, maxPageResponseSize))
	if err != nil {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("azdext.Pager.NextPage: failed to read response: %w", err)

Architecture Note: KeyVault Resolver Design Decision

The keyvault_resolver.go in azdext intentionally maintains its own secret retrieval logic rather than calling through to core pkg/keyvault/KeyVaultService.SecretFromAkvs(). Here's why:

What IS shared (no duplication):

keyvault.IsAzureKeyVaultSecret() — URI scheme detection
keyvault.ParseAzureKeyVaultSecret() — akvs:// URI parsing

What is NOT shared (by design):

The actual GetSecret call (~20 lines) uses different credential models

Core keyvault requires SubscriptionCredentialProvider (DI-injected, resolves credentials per Azure subscription) + cloud.Cloud config. Extensions cannot and should not access azd's DI container.

Azdext resolver accepts a simple azcore.TokenCredential — any valid Azure credential works. No DI dependency, standalone, testable via injected secretClientFactory, with typed errors (KeyVaultResolveError + ResolveReason enum) and batch support (ResolveMap).

If we consolidate in the future, the azdext pattern is the better foundation — simpler credential model, better error handling, and inherently testable. Core's SecretFromAkvs() could eventually delegate to this resolver pattern.

I will pull the key vault resolution feature into a new pr.

jongio

blockMetadata IS read — it's used at lines 229 and 252 of checkCore() to classify blocked metadata hosts with the distinct metadata_endpoint reason instead of the generic blocked_host. The field, the documented SSRFError.Reason values, and the implementation are all aligned. No changes needed.
