What problem does this PR solve?

Fixes #19414

validate_rest_api_page_size raises ValueError when page_size exceeds the public maximum (100), but a dozen REST endpoints call it outside any error handling, so page_size=101 fails with an unhandled 500 instead of the argument-error response neighboring validation returns.

Fix: catch ValueError at each unguarded call site and return the file's established argument-error response. Affected routes: GET /searches, GET /mcp/servers, GET /memories (+ message list), POST /retrieval, GET /datasets/<id>/documents/<id>/chunks, POST /searchbots/retrieval_test, GET /agents/<id>/sessions + agent list, GET /connectors/<id>/logs, GET /compilation-template-groups.

Type of change

  • Bug Fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Testing

Added test_list_mcp_page_size_above_max_returns_argument_error to test/testcases/restful_api/test_mcp_routes_unit.py:

  • without the fix, GET /mcp/servers?page_size=101 raises ValueError out of the handler (verified by stashing the change)
  • with the fix, it returns code 101 with "page_size must be less than or equal to 100"

Full test_mcp_routes_unit.py: 12/12 pass. All touched modules byte-compile.

…s the public maximum

validate_rest_api_page_size raises ValueError above REST_API_MAX_PAGE_SIZE
(100), but several REST endpoints called it outside any error handling,
so page_size=101 produced an unhandled 500 instead of the argument
error the neighboring validation paths return. Catch ValueError at each
unguarded call site and return the file's established argument-error
response:

- GET /searches
- GET /mcp/servers
- GET /memories and GET /memories/<id> (message list)
- POST /retrieval and GET /datasets/<id>/documents/<id>/chunks
- POST /searchbots/retrieval_test
- GET /agents/<id>/sessions and the agent list endpoint
- GET /connectors/<id>/logs
- GET /compilation-template-groups

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

REST endpoints now catch pagination validation failures and return argument-error responses. A unit test verifies that an oversized MCP page_size returns code 101 instead of HTTP 500.

Changes

Pagination argument handling

Endpoint validation and regression coverage
api/apps/restful_apis/*_api.py, test/testcases/restful_api/test_mcp_routes_unit.py
Pagination validators now catch ValueError and return ARGUMENT_ERROR responses across the affected routes. The MCP test checks the oversized page_size response.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 86fc3

Oversized page_size requests now return the established argument-error response rather than an HTTP 500, with regression coverage for the MCP endpoint. No current merge-blocking risk is identified.

error message “page_size must be less than or equal to 100” rather than checking
only for the “page_size” substring, preserving enforcement of the API contract.

Tightened the new test to assert the exact message "page_size must be less than or equal to 100" per the review note.
