Django Admin

Django admin of the MCPServer app: the audit trail of the operations tools, for superusers, read-only.

Every call to a staff-only tool of the MCPServer (smarter.apps.mcpserver.protocol.staff) is recorded as an OperationsToolCall. This module registers that model on the restricted admin site, so that a superuser can see who called which tool, for which help desk ticket, and whether it failed. The rows are evidence, so they cannot be added or changed here.

The repository indexes, RepositoryIndex and RepositoryFile, are not registered: they are rebuilt by the indexing tasks, and are not edited by hand.

Note

Experimental. The MCPServer was designed and coded by Claude Code (Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5), with Lawrence McDaniel as co-author. It is experimental, and will be documented.

class smarter.apps.mcpserver.admin.OperationsToolCallAdmin(model, admin_site)[source]

Bases: SmarterSuperUserOnlyModelAdmin

The admin of the audit trail of the MCPServer’s staff-only tools.

The server writes a row on every tool call, so the admin is read-only: every field is read-only, and rows cannot be added or changed. Only superusers see it, through SmarterSuperUserOnlyModelAdmin, and a superuser may delete rows, e.g. when they are no longer needed.

has_add_permission(request, obj=None)[source]

Refuse to add a tool call by hand: only the MCP server writes them.

Parameters:

  • request – The admin request.

  • obj – Unused.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

Always False.

has_change_permission(request, obj=None)[source]

Refuse to change a tool call, so that the audit trail stays as the server wrote it.

Parameters:

  • request – The admin request.

  • obj – The tool call, or None for the list.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

Always False.
