fix: auto-disable webhooks after sustained failures#7289
Conversation
Greptile SummaryThis PR adds a Redis-backed webhook health tracking system to auto-disable both marketplace app webhooks (graduated 24h/48h/72h warnings then disable) and developer webhooks (disable after 100 consecutive failures), and retrofits the chat tool endpoint and MCP tool wrapper with the same circuit breaker guard.
Confidence Score: 3/5Not safe to merge as-is — the core graduated auto-disable feature stops working correctly after the first successful webhook delivery for any app. The Lua script stores an empty string for first_failure_at on success reset, then fails with an arithmetic error on every subsequent failure call because Lua's tonumber("") returns nil. Any app that has ever had a successful webhook delivery will silently accumulate failures without ever triggering the day-1 warning, day-2 warning, or auto-disable — the entire reason this PR exists. The dev webhook re-enable path also leaves the failure counter above the threshold, making the re-enable button effectively non-functional for still-failing endpoints. backend/database/webhook_health.py (Lua guard fix at line 24, dev webhook re-enable reset) and backend/utils/retrieval/tools/app_tools.py (in-function imports, MCP error detection) Important Files Changed

Lua script arithmetic error breaks graduated disable after any successful delivery.
record_app_webhook_success stores '' (empty string) for first_failure_at. In Lua, "" is truthy, so if not first then is false when the field exists but is empty — the init branch is skipped. The script then reaches local first_ts = tonumber(first) which returns nil for an empty string, and now_ts - nil raises a Lua arithmetic error. Redis propagates the error back to Python, which catches it and returns 0 (fail-open). Crucially, first_failure_at is never updated to the current timestamp, so every subsequent failure hits the same arithmetic error and always returns 0 — the graduated auto-disable is permanently dead for that app until the 7-day TTL expires.

In-function imports violate the project's backend import rules (no imports inside function bodies).
disable_app_in_firestore and delete_app_cache_by_id should be added to file-level imports instead. Additionally, this inline block duplicates the _handle_webhook_health_action logic from app_integrations.py and silently drops day-1/day-2 warning log lines — only action 3 is handled here.

Fixed the re-enable health check blocker from cycle 3: Webhook health check gate — Before allowing re-enable, the endpoint sends a HEAD request to the app's webhook URL. If it returns non-2xx, times out (10s), or fails to connect, the re-enable is rejected with HTTP 400 and a clear error message. This prevents a still-dead endpoint from getting a fresh 72h failure window. Specifically:

Summary
Implements webhook auto-disable for marketplace apps and developer webhooks (issue #6885).
Marketplace app webhooks: Redis Lua script tracks failures atomically with graduated response — 24h notification, 48h final warning, 72h auto-disable. The
is_app_webhook_disabled()gate makes disabled apps non-functional without removing from users' installed list. Apps stay installed but webhook/chat tool/MCP calls return early with a "disabled" message.Developer webhooks: Separate 100-consecutive-failure threshold with idempotent Lua disabled flag. Auto-disables the user's webhook and notifies them.
Circuit breaker: All webhook, chat tool, and MCP endpoints now use
get_webhook_circuit_breaker()for fast-fail on unreachable endpoints.Re-enable flow: Validates ALL configured endpoints (webhook POST, MCP reachability, chat tool HEAD) before allowing re-enable. Clears Redis health state and Firestore disabled metadata on success.
