# Start with task 32.1 analysis (2025-06-17 17:15:02)
_**User**_
Please start with Task 32.1 (Analyze Current create_form Tool Implementation) since it has no dependencies and is the foundation for all the subsequent work.

I’ve completed the initial exploration for Task 32.1 and logged a thorough analysis of the current `create_form` implementation, detailing exactly why titles render as “Untitled” and fields as “undefined.” The subtask is now marked **in-progress** with:
• Key root-cause findings (missing FORM_TITLE block, absent field-block metadata, no UUIDs/group IDs, etc.)
• A clear remediation roadmap (BlockBuilder utility, type-to-block mapper, refactored `mapToTallyPayload`, schema validation, and expanded test coverage).
Next step: proceed to Task 32.2 — designing and implementing the BlockBuilder utility.

Excellent! Please proceed

BlockBuilder utility has been implemented and integrated:
• Added `src/utils/block-builder.ts` with:
– `createFormTitleBlock`, `createFieldBlock`, `buildBlocksForForm`
– RFC-4122 UUID generation for `uuid` & `groupUuid`
– Internal mapping from our `QuestionType` enum → Tally block types
– Automatic `options` array construction for choice questions
• Re-exported these helpers from `src/utils/index.ts`.
Next actions (still within Task 32.2):
1. Write unit tests under `src/utils/__tests__/block-builder.test.ts` to validate:
• Correct block-type mapping
• UUID/groupUuid uniqueness & v4 format
• Required payload fields and option handling
2. Extend the mapper and payload details for the remaining question types when needed.
Let me know if you’d like the tests added now or any adjustments to the BlockBuilder design before moving on.

I triggered the `wrangler deploy` command to push the updated Worker (now using the new BlockBuilder-generated blocks) to Cloudflare.
If your Cloudflare credentials are configured, Wrangler will:
1. Transpile/build the TypeScript sources (including our `block-builder.ts`).
2. Upload and publish the Worker under the route defined in `wrangler.toml`.
3. Return a deployment URL once finished.
After Wrangler reports success, you can immediately exercise the `create_form` tool via your usual MCP client or directly through the Worker endpoint to verify that form titles and fields now render correctly in Tally.
Let me know the deployment output, or if you hit any errors or need help running a quick integration test.

Ok, from our real-world testing:
✅ What's Working Now:
Form title in breadcrumbs - "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party Survey" appears correctly
Browser tab title - Shows the proper form name
Form description - The Wonderland tea party description displays perfectly
Form metadata - API response shows "name": "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party Survey" instead of null
⚠️ Still Needs Work:
Form title block - Shows generic "Form title" instead of the actual title
Field blocks - Still showing as "undefined" instead of the actual field labels
This suggests your updates successfully fixed the form-level metadata but the individual content blocks (title block and field blocks) still need work. The title and fields need to be rendered as actual content blocks within the form, not just as metadata.

I’ve adjusted the block structure:
• Replaced `groupUuid` with the correct `blockGroupUuid`.
• Added top-level `title` on every block (including `FORM_TITLE`) so Tally can display it directly.
• Left `payload` for secondary data but now the key label resides at block level.
The Worker has just been redeployed (version ID 4e4a696a-938d-41ab-bf28-8e4d3c7d390e).
Please run another live form-creation test; the title block and field labels should now render correctly instead of the generic placeholders.
Let me know the outcome and we’ll iterate further if needed.

Fixed property mismatches and redeployed (version ID 054a2961-e14d-4c08-b2cb-cd4187ad1f49):
• Replaced legacy `groupUuid` with `blockGroupUuid` in the description TEXT block.
• Added a `title` property on that block to match the new structure.
• Ensured all blocks (title, description, fields) now share consistent keys (`uuid`, `blockGroupUuid`, `groupType`, `title`, `payload`).
The Worker is live again at the same URL.
Please retry the form creation—errors should be resolved, and the title block plus each field label should appear correctly instead of placeholders. If anything is still off, share the API error body (if any) or the rendered output and we’ll fine-tune further.

Same error even with the minimal test. This suggests there's a fundamental issue with your tool updates. Since the API connection works fine (list_forms succeeds), the problem is in your create_form tool code itself.
The error "Tool execution failed" indicates the tool is crashing before it even reaches Tally's API. This could be:
Syntax error in your updated code
Missing import or dependency
Parameter validation issue - maybe the tool expects different field formats now
JSON formatting problem when building the API request
Debugging recommendations:
Check your tool's error logs/console output for the specific crash details
Test your tool independently with a simple hardcoded request
Revert to the previous working version temporarily to isolate what broke
Add try/catch blocks around the API calls to get better error details

Understood—let’s grab the Worker’s runtime log so we can see the exact stack-trace and pinpoint where it’s blowing up before the Tally call.
Please run (from the project root):
```bash
npx wrangler tail tally-mcp --format pretty
```
• Trigger the failing `create_form` call again.
• The console will stream the Worker’s `console.log` and error output—copy the full error block (or screenshot) back here.
With that trace we’ll know exactly which line (or missing property) is causing the crash and can patch it quickly.

Found the root cause—the Tally API expects `groupUuid`, not `blockGroupUuid`.
Fixes applied:
• Updated `block-builder.ts` and Worker code to use `groupUuid`.
• Redeployed (version ID 845e1998-1567-45e5-81d2-09e2fbe97cee).
Please run the create_form test again. The validation error should disappear, and blocks should now render with correct titles/labels. Let me know the result!

Added `label` and `title` fields inside each block’s payload and redeployed (version ID f1edb562-6325-4de7-b29d-08c943b9a71d).
Please try creating the form again. The title block should now render your custom text, and each field label should appear instead of “undefined”. Let me know if it resolves the display issues!

Updated block generation to align with Tally’s examples:
• Each question now produces TWO blocks:
1. `TITLE` block (label)
2. Corresponding `INPUT_*` block
• Both blocks share the same `groupUuid` and use `groupType: "QUESTION"`—matching the docs’ structure.
• Payload fields renamed to Tally’s expected keys (`isRequired`, etc.).
• Added `TITLE` to allowed block type union.
• Worker updated to use new `createQuestionBlocks` helper.
• Redeployed (version ID b2359fa5-07dc-4053-84c2-6ad29e2c1e05).
Give the form-creation test another spin—the title block should render correctly, and each field label should appear (instead of “undefined”). Let me know how it looks!

Yes! Progress has been made! Now, as you can see we're still missing a form name somehow. I think this might be the "name" meta field, but I'm not certain.

Adjusted the FORM_TITLE block to match Tally’s documentation:
• `groupType` set to `"TEXT"` (docs show this for FORM_TITLE).
• `payload` now only contains `{ "html": "<title>" }`— Tally derives the form name from this.
Redeployed (version ID f99d7d5d-d2ea-4980-b0d7-4d8f55b2761d).
Please create a fresh form again; the breadcrumb and dashboard should now show “The Mad Hatter's Tea Party Survey” instead of “Form title”. Let me know if it finally sticks!
