Expose and serialize allowAllMcpServerInstructions in TypeScript SDK #2379
The Copilot runtime protocol supports allowAllMcpServerInstructions, but TypeScript SDK 1.0.11 does not provide a working SessionConfig path for it.
The generated RPC types contain the field, and the runtime describes it as including instructions from every MCP server instead of only allowlisted servers. However:
dist/types.d.ts does not expose it on SessionConfigBase.
CopilotClient.createSession() in dist/client.js does not serialize it into the session.create request.
A consumer adding the property at runtime therefore has no effect.
This prevents evaluation harnesses and other SDK consumers from explicitly testing or enabling instructions from a non-allowlisted MCP server.
Controlled reproduction
A one-turn probe used a temporary MCP server whose unique canary existed only in server-level initialization instructions. The tool description did not contain the canary, and the prompt prohibited tool calls.
Consumer supplied allowAllMcpServerInstructions: true without changing SDK serialization: same negative result.
Temporary SDK wiring that serialized the field into session.create, together with the consumer option: agent returned the exact instruction canary (19,028 tokens, 1 turn, 0 tool calls).
This isolates the missing SDK forwarding from model variance and MCP tool selection.
Requested behavior
Add allowAllMcpServerInstructions?: boolean to the public TypeScript session configuration shared by create/resume paths as appropriate.
Serialize it to the runtime request and ensure resumed or updated sessions honor the same policy.
Preserve the secure default: omitted or false must continue to exclude instructions from non-allowlisted servers.
Required side-by-side tests
Please cover both policy states using the same non-allowlisted MCP server fixture:
Disallowed: omitted and explicit false do not expose the server instruction canary.
Allowed: explicit true exposes the exact canary.
The server's tools remain available in both states, proving the assertion concerns instruction visibility rather than MCP startup.
Wire-level tests assert both false and true are serialized correctly where supplied.
The allow/disallow behavior should remain explicit rather than changing the default globally.
