Bsl Context

Русский | English

Published on Infostart: bsl-context — проверка ИИ-кода 1С на соответствие API платформы

An MCP server providing 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform context: types, methods, properties, constructors, system enumeration values — plus static validation of BSL expressions against a real platform index.

The data source is the platform's syntax assistant (shcntx_ru.hbk), parsed by a custom reader (running 1C is not required).

Why

Language models and linters handle BSL syntax well but are "blind" to referential correctness against the platform: whether a system enumeration value exists, whether a platform type has a given method, whether a global function's argument count fits its overloads. bsl-context covers exactly that layer — it checks code against the actual API of a specific platform version.

Features

Reference tools — search and details for platform types, methods, properties, constructors, and enumeration values.

Module/fragment validation (validate_module) — accepts either a whole module or an arbitrary fragment; via tree-sitter-bsl the server extracts Процедура/Функция declarations from the submitted text and does not treat their calls as typos of platform methods (for a fragment this set is simply empty); it also validates compiler/extension directive names. Returns findings with line, column, kind, and confidence:

Finding kind	confidence	Meaning
unknown_enum_value	high	System enumeration value does not exist
wrong_argument_count	high	Global function argument count outside its overloads
unknown_type_member	low	Platform type has no such method/property
unknown_new_type	low	Новый TypeX constructor unknown to the platform
unknown_global_method	high / low	Unknown global call similar to a platform method (fuzzy: strong match → high, weak → low)
undeclared_method	high	Call is not declared in the submitted module and unknown to the platform (whole-module check only; suppressed in extension modules)
unknown_directive	high / low	Directive name (&НаСервере, &Перед, …) not in the whitelist
shadowed_context_name	high	Variable name is taken by a read-only context property: the assignment fails at runtime. The form-member rule needs module_path

high-confidence findings have a false-positive rate near zero; low-confidence ones depend on the accuracy of type inference and the completeness of the hbk.

Validation levels

Analysis depth is set via the level parameter (or default_validation_level in the config), clamped to [1..=3]:

• 1 — references with an explicit type name in the source (Новый TypeX, TypeY.ValueZ, global function argument counts). Low noise, safe default.
• 2 — additionally, local type inference within a procedure: X = Новый TypeX, X = TypeY.ValueZ, the // @type TypeX annotation.
• 3 — additionally, return-type tracking: a variable's type from the return type of a method/property, including chains like Query.Execute().Select().

The higher the level, the more findings — and the more potential false positives.

What the validator cannot know

The validator sees the text of a SINGLE module plus the platform context. It does not know the configuration's metadata, so it cannot verify that application procedures declared in other modules exist. The undeclared_method finding is suppressed when the name may come from outside:

• an ordinary (non-managed) form module calls its owner's object module export methods without a prefix;
• an extension module calls procedures of the module it extends (such a module is recognized by the &Перед, &После, &Вместо, &ИзменениеИКонтроль directives, and strict checking is disabled for it);
• a global common module (Глобальный = Истина) is called without a prefix from any module.

The first and third cases cannot be recognized from the module text alone — false positives for undeclared_method are possible there. The strict profile will not filter them out (the finding has high confidence); when working with such modules it's better not to rely on this finding.

Likewise, the validator does not know the form's set of attributes. An attribute shadows a context name (UT has forms with attributes named Метаданные, БезопасноеХранилище), so inside a form module the shadowed_context_name finding for global-context names is off by default. Pass the attribute list via form_attributes and it works there too: attribute names are excluded, the rest are checked.

Profiles

The profile parameter (or default_profile in the config):

• full (default) — all findings, level as passed. For a strong model that discards questionable findings itself.
• strict — only high-confidence findings and a forced level=1. For weaker models, so a false positive does not cause a feedback loop.

Architecture

A Cargo workspace of five crates:

Crate	Purpose
hbk-reader	Reads the binary shcntx_ru.hbk container
hbk-parser	Parses help HTML pages (types, methods, enumerations)
platform-index	Platform index: loading, storage, search
bsl-validator	BSL expression validator (tree-sitter)
server	HTTP MCP server (axum + rmcp), config, PID lock

Requirements

• Rust (edition 2021), built with cargo build --release.
• The shcntx_ru.hbk file from an installed 1C:Enterprise platform (C:\Program Files\1cv8\<version>\bin\shcntx_ru.hbk). Not included in the repo.

Build

cargo build --release

The binary is target/release/bsl-context-rs (.exe on Windows).

Configuration

Copy configs/config.toml.example to configs/config.toml and adjust it for your machine. Key fields:

host = "127.0.0.1"          # bind, loopback by default
port = 8007                 # MCP server port
platform_path = 'C:\Program Files\1cv8\8.3.27.1786'   # platform version directory
default_validation_level = 1

Choosing the platform version when several are installed

If multiple platform versions are installed side by side, the server does not pick a version automatically — the path is set explicitly via platform_path. Inside that directory it looks for shcntx_ru.hbk at two paths: <platform_path>/shcntx_ru.hbk and <platform_path>/bin/shcntx_ru.hbk.

This is deliberate: method signatures and the set of system enumerations differ between platform versions, so code must be validated against the version it is written for. If platform_path is unset, the server starts and /health responds, but the MCP tools return 503 with a hint to set the path.

Network deployment

By default the server listens on loopback. With host = "0.0.0.0" you must add the external address to allowed_hosts (rmcp's DNS-rebinding protection), otherwise networked requests get 403 Forbidden: Host header is not allowed:

allowed_hosts = ["localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1", "<server-ip>"]

External source of configuration names

The validator receives the text of a SINGLE module, so a call to a procedure declared in another file of the configuration looks like a typo to it. A symbol source fixes that: it answers three questions — "does the configuration declare such a method", "is it an exported method of a GLOBAL common module", and "which exported methods does the owner object module of an external data processor have".

Measured on the UT configuration (14905 modules): without a source — 1420 high-confidence undeclared_method findings; with one — 44, of which exactly one is real.

Three ways to connect it, same result:

# 1. Own lightweight index. The server stays self-contained.
[symbol_source]
kind = "lite"
root = 'C:\RepoUT'                          # configuration dump directory
db_path = 'C:\tools\bsl-context\ut_lite.db' # database file; the directory is created for you

The database is built by the rebuild_symbol_index tool — call it after the first start and after every change to the configuration. It takes no parameters: the paths come from the config. While it runs, validation keeps using the previous database; if the build fails, the previous database stays intact. The same can be done from the command line: bsl-lite-index build --root <dump> --db <file.db> (the directory must already exist).

# 2. Reading the code-index database directly (same machine only).
[symbol_source]
kind = "code_index_db"
db_path = 'C:\RepoUT\.code-index\index.db'

# 3. Through a running code-index service — any machine, by address and port.
[symbol_source]
kind = "code_index_mcp"
url = "http://127.0.0.1:8011/mcp"
repo = "ut"
timeout_ms = 5000

With no section (or kind = "none") the validator behaves as before, knowing nothing about the configuration.

How they differ. lite needs nothing external and answers from memory, but its database must be rebuilt after the configuration changes. The code-index sources read from that index instead — if a file watcher keeps it current, the names are always fresh. The "global common module" flag is taken from the module's XML, which code-index stores verbatim.

They also differ in speed. Measured on a 261,548-function index: a direct SQLite lookup takes 13 µs (142 ns once the names are held in memory), a networked code-index request 13.4 ms. The validator checks hundreds of calls per module, so prefer lite or code_index_db; use code_index_mcp when the index lives on another machine.

Several configurations on one server

One server can serve several configurations at once, each with its own access method. Instead of the single [symbol_source] section, list them:

[[symbol_sources]]
repo = "ut"                    # configuration alias — this is the tools' `repo` argument
kind = "lite"
root = 'C:\RepoUT'
db_path = 'C:\tools\bsl-context\ut_lite.db'

[[symbol_sources]]
repo = "bp"
kind = "code_index_db"
db_path = 'C:\RepoBP\.code-index\index.db'

[[symbol_sources]]
repo = "zup"
kind = "code_index_mcp"
url = "http://10.0.0.5:8011/mcp"
code_index_repo = "zup-prod"   # optional: only when code-index names that repository differently

validate_module and rebuild_symbol_index then take a repo argument — that alias. It is required whenever at least one configuration is configured, even a single one: a call must be unambiguous. An unknown alias is refused with the list of available ones. [symbol_source] and [[symbol_sources]] are mutually exclusive.

With no configuration set up at all the argument is not needed: code is checked against the platform reference only.

What happens when a symbol source is unavailable

A source that answers "no such method" to everything is worse than no source at all: the validator turns that into a high-confidence undeclared_method finding on every single procedure call. Hence:

• On connect, a code_index_mcp source asks code-index for the stats of its own repository. If code-index does not know it, the source is not created and the log gets an explicit error listing the available repositories.
• A configuration is declared but its source failed to come up — validate_module for that alias refuses and explains why (for lite: "index not built, call rebuild_symbol_index") instead of emitting findings that are certainly false.
• A source dies mid-flight (network, code-index down) — it is marked unhealthy, the empty answer is not cached, and validation for that configuration refuses until recovery.

Tool whitelist

If you only need part of the server's surface, list the tools you want in the [tools] section. For example, module validation plus two lookup helpers:

[tools]
enabled = ["validate_module", "get_constructors", "get_enum_values"]

A missing section or an empty list means all eleven tools are available, as before. Hidden tools are absent from tools/list and are rejected on a direct call. An unknown name does not break startup: it produces a warning in the log and the tool simply never appears.
