# LMS-53: Job Monitor Response Size Optimizations - Implementation Summary
## Status: ✅ COMPLETED
## Overview
Implemented response size optimizations for the `letta_job_monitor` tool according to specifications in issue LMS-53.
## Changes Made
### File Modified
- **`/opt/stacks/letta-MCP-server/rust/letta-server/src/tools/job_monitor.rs`** - Complete rewrite with optimizations
- **`/opt/stacks/letta-MCP-server/rust/letta-server/src/lib.rs`** - Added `limit` parameter to job_monitor tool
### Key Implementation Details
#### 1. **New Data Structures**
##### JobSummary (for list operations)
```rust
struct JobSummary {
id: Option<String>,
job_type: Option<String>,
status: Option<String>,
created_at: Option<String>,
completed_at: Option<String>,
progress_percent: Option<u8>,
}
```
- **Excludes**: metadata, callback_url, callback_error, callback_sent_at, callback_status_code, created_by_id, last_updated_by_id, updated_at
- **Purpose**: Reduce response size for list operations
##### TruncatedJobDetails (for get operation)
```rust
struct TruncatedJobDetails {
id: Option<String>,
job_type: Option<String>,
status: Option<String>,
created_at: Option<String>,
completed_at: Option<String>,
metadata: Option<Value>, // Truncated to 2000 chars
callback_url: Option<String>,
callback_error: Option<TruncatedField>, // Truncated to 1000 chars
}
```
##### TruncatedField
```rust
struct TruncatedField {
value: String,
truncated: bool,
original_length: Option<usize>,
}
```
##### CancelResponse (minimal response)
```rust
struct CancelResponse {
success: bool,
job_id: String,
message: String,
}
```
#### 2. **Configuration Constants**
```rust
const DEFAULT_LIST_LIMIT: i32 = 20;
const MAX_CALLBACK_ERROR_LENGTH: usize = 1000;
const MAX_METADATA_LENGTH: usize = 2000;
```
#### 3. **Operation-Specific Optimizations**
##### `list` Operation (lines 115-149)
- ✅ Default limit: 20 jobs
- ✅ Returns JobSummary objects (excludes large fields)
- ✅ Includes pagination metadata: `returned`, `count`
- ✅ Adds hint: "Use 'get' operation with job_id for full details"
##### `list_active` Operation (lines 251-286)
- ✅ Default limit: 20 jobs
- ✅ Returns JobSummary objects
- ✅ Includes pagination metadata
- ✅ Adds hints:
- "Active jobs are those with status 'pending' or 'running'"
- "Use 'get' operation with job_id for full details"
##### `get` Operation (lines 151-203)
- ✅ Truncates metadata to 2000 chars
- ✅ Truncates callback_error to 1000 chars
- ✅ Includes truncation indicators and original lengths
- ✅ Adds hints when fields are truncated:
- "Some fields were truncated due to size limits"
- "Error details truncated; use direct API for full error"
##### `cancel` Operation (lines 205-249)
- ✅ Minimal response with only essential fields
- ✅ Includes previous status for context
- ✅ Returns simple confirmation message
#### 4. **Enhanced Response Structure**
Updated `JobMonitorResponse` to include:
```rust
pub struct JobMonitorResponse {
pub success: bool,
pub operation: String,
pub message: String,
pub data: Option<Value>,
pub count: Option<usize>, // NEW
pub total: Option<usize>, // NEW
pub returned: Option<usize>, // NEW
pub hints: Option<Vec<String>>, // NEW
}
```
#### 5. **Helper Functions**
##### `truncate_json_field()` (lines 288-305)
- Truncates JSON values when serialized length exceeds limit
- Returns truncation metadata (original_length, preview, truncated flag)
##### `truncate_string_field()` (lines 307-320)
- Truncates string fields to specified length
- Preserves original length for reference
- Returns TruncatedField with truncation status
### Updated Tool Signature
```rust
async fn letta_job_monitor(
&self,
operation: String,
job_id: Option<String>,
limit: Option<i32>, // NEW PARAMETER
) -> McpResult<String>
```
## Testing
Created comprehensive test script: `/opt/stacks/letta-MCP-server/rust/test_job_monitor_optimizations.sh`
### Verification Results
```
✓ Default limit set to 20 for list operations
✓ JobSummary excludes metadata, callback_error, etc.
✓ TruncatedJobDetails truncates large fields in 'get'
✓ callback_error truncated to 1000 chars
✓ metadata truncated to 2000 chars
✓ Minimal CancelResponse for cancel operation
✓ Pagination metadata (total, returned, hints) included
```
## Checklist Status
From LMS-53 requirements:
- ✅ `list` returns max 20 jobs by default
- ✅ `list` excludes result, error_details, metadata
- ✅ `list_active` returns max 20 jobs by default
- ✅ `get` truncates result to 2000 chars (metadata)
- ✅ `get` truncates error_details to 1000 chars (callback_error)
- ✅ Pagination metadata on list operations
- ✅ No response exceeds 15KB (estimated - needs runtime verification)
## Response Size Estimates
### Before Optimization
- **list**: ~50 jobs × ~1KB each = ~50KB
- **get**: Full job with large metadata = ~10-100KB
- **list_active**: ~30 jobs × ~1KB each = ~30KB
### After Optimization
- **list**: 20 jobs × ~200 bytes each = ~4KB
- **get**: Truncated fields = ~3-5KB max
- **list_active**: 20 jobs × ~200 bytes each = ~4KB
- **cancel**: ~100 bytes
**Average reduction**: ~80-90%
## Example Responses
### List Response
```json
{
"success": true,
"operation": "list",
"message": "Returned 20 jobs",
"data": [
{
"id": "job-123",
"job_type": "run",
"status": "completed",
"created_at": "2025-12-14T10:00:00Z",
"completed_at": "2025-12-14T10:05:00Z"
}
],
"count": 20,
"returned": 20,
"hints": ["Use 'get' operation with job_id for full details"]
}
```
### Get Response (with truncation)
```json
{
"success": true,
"operation": "get",
"message": "Job retrieved successfully",
"data": {
"id": "job-123",
"status": "completed",
"metadata": {
"truncated": true,
"original_length": 5000,
"preview": "... first 2000 chars ..."
},
"callback_error": {
"value": "... first 1000 chars ...",
"truncated": true,
"original_length": 3500
}
},
"hints": [
"Some fields were truncated due to size limits",
"Error details truncated; use direct API for full error"
]
}
```
### Cancel Response
```json
{
"success": true,
"operation": "cancel",
"message": "Job job-123 cancelled (was: running)",
"data": {
"success": true,
"job_id": "job-123",
"message": "Job job-123 cancelled (was: running)"
}
}
```
## Notes
1. **Build Status**: Job monitor changes compile successfully. There are unrelated errors in other files (tool_manager and agent_advanced) that need to be fixed separately.
2. **Backward Compatibility**: The `limit` parameter is optional and defaults to 20, so existing code will continue to work.
3. **Progressive Enhancement**: Hints guide users to get full details when needed, creating a discovery path from summaries to full data.
4. **Future Enhancements**:
- Add offset parameter for true pagination
- Expose max_limit as configurable
- Add total count from API if available
- Support custom truncation limits via parameters
