[cli-tools-test] compile: actionlint/poutine error message references CLI flags instead of MCP parameters

[github-actions]

Problem Description

When calling the compile MCP tool with actionlint: true or poutine: true in an environment where Docker is not available, the error message instructs users to "omit the --actionlint flags". However, in the MCP interface, these are boolean parameters — not CLI flags. This causes confusion because the remediation guidance doesn't match the interface the user is working with.

Tool

• Tool: compile (agentic-workflows MCP server)
• Parameters used: actionlint: true

Steps to Reproduce

1. Call the compile MCP tool with actionlint: true in an environment without Docker:

   { "workflows": ["auto-triage-issues"], "actionlint": true }

2. Observe the error message returned.

Expected Behavior

The error message should reference MCP parameters, not CLI flags. For example:

docker is not available (cannot connect to Docker daemon). actionlint requires Docker. Please install and start Docker, or set actionlint: false to skip static analysis.

Actual Behavior

McpError: MCP error -32603: calling "tools/call": docker is not available (cannot connect to Docker daemon).
actionlint requires Docker. Please install and start Docker, or omit the --actionlint flags

The message says --actionlint flags which implies a CLI invocation style. An MCP user has no --actionlint flag to omit — they have a actionlint boolean parameter.

Environment

• Repository: github/gh-aw
• Run ID: §23729320081
• Date: 2026-03-30
• Context: Agentic environment (Docker-in-Docker not supported)

Impact

• Severity: Low
• Frequency: Always (in Docker-unavailable environments)
• Workaround: Set actionlint: false (omit the parameter) and poutine: false

Additional Context

The same issue likely affects the poutine: true parameter since it also requires Docker. The fix should update the error message to use parameter/option terminology consistent with MCP usage rather than CLI flag syntax.
