# Issues Resolved - Arbitrum Bridge MCP Server
## Overview
This document outlines all the critical issues that were identified and resolved during the comprehensive refactor of the Arbitrum Bridge MCP Server to make it EmberAGI-compatible and production-ready.
## Critical Issues Fixed
### 1. **Incorrect L2 Bridge ABI for ETH Withdrawals**
**Issue**: `bridgeEthFromArbitrum` function used the wrong ABI
- **Problem**: Used `ARBITRUM_INBOX_ABI` with `createRetryableTicket` (designed for L1→L2 deposits)
- **Impact**: L2→L1 ETH withdrawals would fail with incorrect function calls
- **Solution**:
- Added `ARBITRUM_L2_BRIDGE_ABI` with `withdrawEth` function
- Updated `bridgeEthFromArbitrum` to use correct L2 bridge contract
- Simplified parameters to destination address only
**Code Fix**:
```typescript
// BEFORE (Incorrect)
const data = {
abi: ARBITRUM_INBOX_ABI,
functionName: 'createRetryableTicket',
args: [recipientAddr, amountWei, submissionCostWei, ...]
};
// AFTER (Correct)
const data = {
abi: ARBITRUM_L2_BRIDGE_ABI,
functionName: 'withdrawEth',
args: [recipientAddr] // destination only
};
```
### 2. **Zero Address Placeholder in Contract Configuration**
**Issue**: L2 bridge contract address was a zero placeholder
- **Problem**: `CONTRACT_ADDRESSES[42161].bridge = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'`
- **Impact**: Bridge transactions would fail with invalid contract address
- **Solution**: Replaced with official Arbitrum L2 bridge contract address
**Code Fix**:
```typescript
// BEFORE (Incorrect)
42161: {
bridge: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000', // Placeholder
gatewayRouter: '0x5288c571Fd7aD117beA99bF60FE0846C4E84F933'
}
// AFTER (Correct)
42161: {
bridge: '0x8315177aB297bA92A06054cE80a67Ed4DBd7ed3a', // Official L2 Bridge
gatewayRouter: '0x5288c571Fd7aD117beA99bF60FE0846C4E84F933'
}
```
### 3. **Amount Format Inconsistency**
**Issue**: Mixed decimal and hexadecimal amount formats
- **Problem**: `processBridgeIntent` generated decimal strings, but `amountSchema` expected hex
- **Impact**: Validation failures when using intent processing with other bridge tools
- **Solution**: Standardized all amounts to hex format
**Code Fix**:
```typescript
// BEFORE (Inconsistent)
let amountWei: string;
if (token === 'ETH') {
amountWei = (BigInt(Math.floor(amount * 1e18))).toString(); // Decimal
}
// AFTER (Consistent)
let amountWei: string;
if (token === 'ETH') {
amountWei = '0x' + (BigInt(Math.floor(amount * 1e18))).toString(16); // Hex
}
```
### 4. **Architecture Incompatibility with EmberAGI**
**Issue**: Tool functions didn't follow EmberAGI standards
- **Problem**: Inconsistent function signatures, missing parameter validation, no standardized error handling
- **Impact**: Tools couldn't be used with EmberAGI framework
- **Solution**: Complete refactor to EmberAGI-compatible architecture
**Code Fix**:
```typescript
// BEFORE (Inconsistent)
export function bridgeEth(amount: string, recipient: string) {
// Direct function call
}
// AFTER (EmberAGI Compatible)
export const bridgeEthToArbitrum: ToolFunction<any> = {
description: "Bridge ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum",
parameters: bridgeEthParams,
execute: async (params) => {
// Standardized execution with validation
}
};
```
### 5. **Security Vulnerabilities**
**Issue**: Multiple security gaps in the implementation
- **Problems**:
- No private key validation
- No gas limit enforcement
- No amount validation limits
- No zero address protection
- **Impact**: Potential for failed transactions, security breaches, invalid operations
- **Solution**: Comprehensive security enhancements
**Security Fixes**:
```typescript
// Private Key Security
export const PRIVATE_KEY = (() => {
const key = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY;
if (!key) {
console.warn('PRIVATE_KEY environment variable not set');
return null;
}
if (!key.startsWith('0x') || key.length !== 66) {
throw new Error('Invalid private key format');
}
return key;
})();
// Gas Limit Enforcement
const MAX_GAS_LIMIT = BigInt(5000000);
async function estimateGasWithSafety(client: any, transaction: any): Promise<string> {
const gasEstimate = await client.estimateGas(transaction);
const safeGasLimit = BigInt(Math.ceil(Number(gasEstimate) * 1.2));
if (safeGasLimit > MAX_GAS_LIMIT) {
return MAX_GAS_LIMIT.toString();
}
return safeGasLimit.toString();
}
// Amount Validation
export function validateAmount(amount: string): string {
if (!amount.match(/^0x[0-9a-fA-F]+$/)) {
throw new ValidationError('Amount must be hex string');
}
if (BigInt(amount) <= BigInt(0)) {
throw new ValidationError('Amount must be positive');
}
return amount;
}
// Zero Address Protection
export function validateAddress(address: string): Address {
if (address === '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000') {
throw new ValidationError('Zero address is not allowed');
}
// ... additional validation
}
```
### 6. **Inconsistent Error Handling**
**Issue**: No standardized error handling across tools
- **Problem**: Mixed error types, inconsistent error messages, no error codes
- **Impact**: Difficult debugging, poor user experience
- **Solution**: Custom error classes with standardized error handling
**Error Handling Fix**:
```typescript
// Custom Error Classes
export class BridgeError extends Error {
constructor(public code: string, message: string) {
super(`${code}: ${message}`);
this.name = 'BridgeError';
}
}
export class ValidationError extends Error {
constructor(message: string) {
super(`VALIDATION_ERROR: ${message}`);
this.name = 'ValidationError';
}
}
export class NetworkError extends Error {
constructor(message: string) {
super(`NETWORK_ERROR: ${message}`);
this.name = 'NetworkError';
}
}
```
### 7. **Missing Contract Address Validation**
**Issue**: No validation of contract addresses before use
- **Problem**: Could attempt to interact with invalid or non-existent contracts
- **Impact**: Transaction failures, wasted gas
- **Solution**: Contract address validation function
**Validation Fix**:
```typescript
export function validateContractAddress(address: string, chainId: number): void {
if (address === '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000') {
throw new NetworkError(`Contract address is zero on chain ${chainId}`);
}
if (!isAddress(address)) {
throw new NetworkError(`Invalid contract address: ${address}`);
}
}
```
