Phase 2: Environment Core -- SentinelOpsArena

Time: 2 hours (Hours 4-6) Priority: CRITICAL -- this is the minimum submittable product Depends on: Phase 1 (all models + systems)

KEY CHANGE: Use MCPEnvironment base class (NOT raw Environment). This auto-routes ListToolsAction and CallToolAction through a FastMCP server, giving MCP tool discovery for free. MCP tools are defined directly in this file -- no separate mcp_tools.py needed.


Files to Create

File Purpose Est. Time
sentinelops_arena/environment.py SentinelOpsArena(MCPEnvironment) with MCP tools 75 min
sentinelops_arena/demo.py Quick test script running one episode 15 min
tests/test_environment.py Basic environment tests 15 min

Step-by-Step Build Instructions

Step 1: environment.py -- Core Class with MCPEnvironment (75 min)

This is the most critical file. Use MCPEnvironment as the base class.

MCPEnvironment API Contract (from installed code):

  • MCPEnvironment extends Environment, takes a FastMCP server in __init__
  • step() auto-routes ListToolsAction -> _handle_list_tools() and CallToolAction -> _handle_call_tool()
  • All other actions go to abstract _step_impl(self, action, timeout_s=None, **kwargs) -> Observation
  • reset() and state are still abstract (inherited from Environment)
  • SUPPORTS_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS: bool = True (class attribute)
  • RESERVED TOOL NAMES: reset, step, state, close CANNOT be used as MCP tool names

Architecture: MCP tools (enterprise system APIs) are defined as FastMCP tools inside __init__. MCPEnvironment auto-routes CallToolAction to these tools. Non-MCP actions (turn management, game logic) go through _step_impl.

assert 'launch_attack' in tool_names
assert 'reset' not in tool_names  # reserved

# Test MCP tool call

print(f'Tool result: {obs.result}')
print('MCPEnvironment MCP routing OK')

DEBUG: Common Issues

Issue Cause Fix
TypeError: MCPEnvironment.__init__() missing mcp_server Forgot to pass FastMCP to super() Call super().__init__(mcp) with FastMCP instance
ValueError: MCP tools cannot use reserved names Tool named reset, step, state, or close Rename the tool (e.g., env_reset -> but better to not overlap at all)
state is not a property Defined def state() instead of @property def state Use @property decorator
_step_impl not defined Forgot to implement abstract method MCPEnvironment requires _step_impl(), not step()
Turn order not advancing current_agent_idx not updating Check modulo arithmetic: (idx + 1) % 3
Tick not incrementing Forgot tick advance on full rotation if current_agent_idx == 0: tick += 1
Episode never ends done condition wrong Check self.tick >= self.MAX_TICKS after advancing
ValidationError on observation Fields mismatch Ensure all required Observation fields are provided
create_app() fails Wrong argument types Pass class (not instance), Action class, Observation class

EXIT CRITERIA

  • env.reset() returns valid SentinelObservation with current_agent=ATTACKER, tick=0, done=False
  • Turn order cycles: ATTACKER -> WORKER -> OVERSIGHT -> ATTACKER
  • Tick increments after each full rotation (every 3 steps)
  • Episode terminates at tick 30 (after 90 total steps)
  • env.state returns valid SentinelState with correct tick and scores
  • Attacks modify system state (schema drift renames fields)
  • Rewards compute without errors (all 3 reward functions)
  • Wrong-turn actions receive penalty
  • demo.py runs a full episode without crashing
  • ListToolsAction returns all MCP tools (via MCPEnvironment auto-routing)
  • CallToolAction successfully calls enterprise system tools
  • No reserved tool names used (reset, step, state, close)
  • create_app() creates a valid ASGI app

ROLLBACK PLAN

If Phase 2 takes longer than 1.5 hours:

  1. Simplify worker processing -- all worker actions just return {"success": True}, compute basic reward
  2. Remove attack effects -- attacker can "launch" but nothing actually happens to systems
  3. Remove oversight complexity -- oversight always returns 0 reward
  4. Cut demo.py -- just verify with inline test code

Do NOT cut: basic reset/step/state loop, turn management, episode termination. These are the minimum viable environment.
