ai-code-mcp-debug-tools-enable-for-session is documented as session-scoped, but this code path unconditionally registers debug tools into the global ai-code-mcp-server-tools registry. Since ai-code-mcp--tools-list returns that global list for every session, enabling debug tools for one session makes other sessions advertise those tools even when they are disabled there, which leads agents to call tools that will fail at runtime and breaks the session-scoping contract.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

This command still builds and sends a prompt asserting that Emacs MCP tools are available even when no session ID exists (for example, non-MCP backends or no active session), because tool enablement is conditional later and silently skipped. In that state the AI receives inaccurate capabilities and will attempt tool calls that cannot work, so the flow should error early or generate a non-MCP prompt variant.

Pull request overview
Adds a dedicated “Emacs runtime debugging” flow to the package, allowing users to compose a focused debugging prompt for the active AI session and enable MCP debug tools on a per-session basis (optionally including eval_elisp), with ERT coverage for the new behavior.
Changes:
- Added
ai-code-debug-emacs-runtimeand wired it into the “Other Tools” transient menu. - Introduced session-scoped enabling for MCP debug tools (and optional
eval_elisp) via session overrides. - Added/updated ERT tests covering the new menu entry, prompt flow, and session override behavior.

Summary
Add a dedicated Emacs runtime debugging flow that can send a focused prompt to the active AI session and temporarily enable the MCP debug tools for just that session.
This can be useful to debug your emacs config / package problem, such as, why some interactive function doesn't do the work? or why some key binding not working? AI will use emacs mcp tool to do trouble shooting and fix it for you. just ask it!
What changed
ai-code-debug-emacs-runtimeand wire it into the Other Tools menu so the user can describe a broken key binding or interactive command, review the assembled prompt, and send it directly to the AI sessioneval_elisp, without changing the global default for every sessionVerification
