From 225bb06cd55c979440bb746b5a9dc00314e7762a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: czlonkowski <56956555+czlonkowski@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2025 22:23:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix: address code review Priority 1 fixes for AI validation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Improvements: 1. **Type Safety**: Replaced unsafe type casting in validateAIToolSubNode() - Changed from `(validator as any)(node)` to explicit switch statement - All 13 validators now called with proper type safety - Eliminates TypeScript type bypass warnings 2. **Input Validation**: Added empty string checks in buildReverseConnectionMap() - Validates source node names are non-empty strings - Validates target node names are non-empty strings - Prevents invalid connections from corrupting validation 3. **Magic Numbers Eliminated**: Extracted all hardcoded thresholds to constants - MIN_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH_SHORT = 10 - MIN_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH_MEDIUM = 15 - MIN_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH_LONG = 20 - MIN_SYSTEM_MESSAGE_LENGTH = 20 - MAX_ITERATIONS_WARNING_THRESHOLD = 50 - MAX_TOPK_WARNING_THRESHOLD = 20 - Updated 12+ validation messages to reference constants 4. **URL Protocol Validation**: Added security check for HTTP Request Tool - Validates URLs use http:// or https:// protocols only - Gracefully handles n8n expressions ({{ }}) - Prevents potentially unsafe protocols (ftp, file, etc.) Code Quality Improvements: - Better error messages now include threshold values - More maintainable - changing thresholds only requires updating constants - Improved type safety throughout validation layer - Enhanced input validation prevents edge case failures Files Changed: - src/services/ai-tool-validators.ts: Constants, URL validation, switch statement - src/services/ai-node-validator.ts: Constants, empty string validation Build Status: ✅ TypeScript compiles cleanly Lint Status: ✅ No type errors 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/services/ai-node-validator.ts | 22 +++++-- src/services/ai-tool-validators.ts | 102 +++++++++++++++++++++-------- 2 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/services/ai-node-validator.ts b/src/services/ai-node-validator.ts index a8dd47f..c8c0510 100644 --- a/src/services/ai-node-validator.ts +++ b/src/services/ai-node-validator.ts @@ -21,6 +21,10 @@ import { validateAIToolSubNode } from './ai-tool-validators'; +// Validation constants +const MIN_SYSTEM_MESSAGE_LENGTH = 20; +const MAX_ITERATIONS_WARNING_THRESHOLD = 50; + /** * AI Connection Types * From spec lines 551-596 @@ -60,6 +64,11 @@ export function buildReverseConnectionMap( // Iterate through all connections for (const [sourceName, outputs] of Object.entries(workflow.connections)) { + // Validate source name is not empty + if (!sourceName || typeof sourceName !== 'string' || sourceName.trim() === '') { + continue; + } + if (!outputs || typeof outputs !== 'object') continue; // Iterate through all output types (main, error, ai_tool, ai_languageModel, etc.) @@ -72,6 +81,11 @@ export function buildReverseConnectionMap( for (const conn of connArray) { if (!conn || !conn.node) continue; + // Validate target node name is not empty + if (typeof conn.node !== 'string' || conn.node.trim() === '') { + continue; + } + // Initialize array for target node if not exists if (!map.has(conn.node)) { map.set(conn.node, []); @@ -222,12 +236,12 @@ export function validateAIAgent( nodeName: node.name, message: `AI Agent "${node.name}" has no systemMessage.
