# TASK-093-03: Pagination Rollout for Component and Data Listings

**Parent:** [TASK-093](./TASK-093_Observability_Timeouts_and_Pagination.md)  
**Status:** ✅ Done  
**Priority:** 🟡 Medium  
**Depends On:** [TASK-089-03](./TASK-089-03_Structured_Mesh_Introspection_Contracts.md)

---

## Objective

Add pagination to large component listings and large structured data payloads.

---

## Repository Touchpoints

- `server/application/tool_handlers/mesh_handler.py`
- `server/application/tool_handlers/workflow_catalog_handler.py`
- `server/adapters/mcp/factory.py`

---

## Scope Split

This subtask must explicitly separate:

- component pagination through FastMCP `list_page_size`
- payload pagination through contract fields such as `offset`, `limit`, `returned`, `total`, and `items`

---

## Layered Subtasks

| ID | Title | Focus |
|----|-------|-------|
| [TASK-093-03-01](./TASK-093-03-01_Core_Pagination_Rollout_Component_Data.md) | Core Pagination Rollout for Component and Data Listings | Core implementation layer |
| [TASK-093-03-02](./TASK-093-03-02_Tests_Pagination_Rollout_Component_Data.md) | Tests and Docs Pagination Rollout for Component and Data Listings | Tests, docs, and QA |

---

## Acceptance Criteria

- both component listings and large inspection payloads can be paged safely

## Completion Summary

- component pagination remains explicit through surface `list_page_size`
- payload pagination is now standardized for `mesh_inspect` and `workflow_catalog` list/search responses
- regression coverage now checks both surface list page size policy and workflow payload pagination fields

---

## Atomic Work Items

1. Add `list_page_size` to the relevant surface profiles.
2. Standardize payload pagination envelopes for mesh and workflow-heavy responses.
3. Add tests for both MCP list pagination and tool payload pagination.
