name: tenancy-enforcer description: Use this skill when writing MongoDB queries, repository methods, or service logic in Aegis. It enforces strict multi-tenancy by ensuring communityId is always included.

Aegis Multi-Tenancy Enforcer

When This Skill Applies

• Writing ANY MongoDB query (find, update, delete)
• Creating repository methods
• Implementing service layer logic
• Adding new indexes to schemas
• Creating aggregate pipelines

The Absolute Rule

Every database query MUST include communityId in the filter.

No exceptions. Cross-community access is a security breach.

Source of communityId

Correct: From JWT Token

// Controller extracts from token
@Get()
async findAll(@CurrentUser() user: JwtPayload) {
  return this.service.findAll(user.communityId);
}

// Service passes to repository
async findAll(communityId: string) {
  return this.repository.findAll(communityId);
}

// Repository includes in query
async findAll(communityId: string) {
  return this.model.find({
    communityId: new Types.ObjectId(communityId),
  });
}

Wrong: From Request Body

// NEVER DO THIS
@Post()
async create(@Body() dto: CreateDto) {
  // dto.communityId could be forged by attacker
  return this.service.create(dto.communityId, dto);
}

Repository Method Patterns

Find Methods

// Always require communityId as parameter
async findById(id: string, communityId: string): Promise<Document | null> {
  return this.model.findOne({
    _id: new Types.ObjectId(id),
    communityId: new Types.ObjectId(communityId), // REQUIRED
  });
}

async findByHousehold(householdId: string, communityId: string): Promise<Document[]> {
  return this.model.find({
    householdId: new Types.ObjectId(householdId),
    communityId: new Types.ObjectId(communityId), // REQUIRED
  });
}

Update Methods

async updateById(
  id: string,
  communityId: string,
  data: UpdateDto,
): Promise<Document | null> {
  return this.model.findOneAndUpdate(
    {
      _id: new Types.ObjectId(id),
      communityId: new Types.ObjectId(communityId), // REQUIRED in filter
    },
    { $set: data },
    { new: true },
  );
}

Delete Methods

async deleteById(id: string, communityId: string): Promise<boolean> {
  const result = await this.model.deleteOne({
    _id: new Types.ObjectId(id),
    communityId: new Types.ObjectId(communityId), // REQUIRED
  });
  return result.deletedCount > 0;
}

Common Anti-Patterns (FORBIDDEN)

Global Queries

// WRONG - No communityId filter
async findAll(): Promise<Document[]> {
  return this.model.find({}); // SECURITY BREACH
}

// WRONG - ID-only lookup
async findById(id: string): Promise<Document | null> {
  return this.model.findById(id); // Can access ANY community's data
}

Optional communityId

// WRONG - communityId should never be optional
async findById(id: string, communityId?: string): Promise<Document | null> {
  const filter: any = { _id: new Types.ObjectId(id) };
  if (communityId) {
    filter.communityId = new Types.ObjectId(communityId);
  }
  return this.model.findOne(filter); // Dangerous when omitted
}

Trusting Request Body

// WRONG - Request body can be forged
@Post()
async create(@Body() dto: CreatePaymentDto) {
  return this.paymentService.create({
    ...dto,
    communityId: dto.communityId, // Attacker can set any communityId
  });
}

// CORRECT - Use JWT context
@Post()
async create(
  @Body() dto: CreatePaymentDto,
  @CurrentUser() user: JwtPayload,
) {
  return this.paymentService.create({
    ...dto,
    communityId: user.communityId, // From authenticated token
  });
}

Index Patterns

All compound indexes MUST have communityId as the first field for query efficiency and logical isolation.

// CORRECT - communityId first
@Schema()
export class Payment {
  // ...
}

PaymentSchema.index({ communityId: 1, householdId: 1 });
PaymentSchema.index({ communityId: 1, state: 1 });
PaymentSchema.index({ communityId: 1, householdId: 1, billingPeriodStart: 1 }, { unique: true });

// WRONG - communityId not first
PaymentSchema.index({ householdId: 1, communityId: 1 }); // Query won't use index efficiently
PaymentSchema.index({ state: 1 }); // Global index, no tenant isolation

Aggregate Pipeline Rules

// CORRECT - $match with communityId as first stage
async aggregateByHousehold(communityId: string) {
  return this.model.aggregate([
    {
      $match: {
        communityId: new Types.ObjectId(communityId), // FIRST stage
      },
    },
    {
      $group: {
        _id: '$householdId',
        total: { $sum: '$amount' },
      },
    },
  ]);
}

// WRONG - Missing communityId or not first
async aggregateAll() {
  return this.model.aggregate([
    { $group: { _id: '$householdId', total: { $sum: '$amount' } } }, // No tenant filter
  ]);
}

Service Layer Enforcement

Services should always require communityId from controllers, never have default values or lookups.

// CORRECT - Explicit communityId parameter
@Injectable()
export class PaymentService {
  async findByHousehold(householdId: string, communityId: string) {
    return this.repository.findByHousehold(householdId, communityId);
  }
}

// WRONG - Fetching communityId from related entity
@Injectable()
export class PaymentService {
  async findByHousehold(householdId: string) {
    const household = await this.householdService.findById(householdId);
    // What if household doesn't exist? What if wrong community?
    return this.repository.findByHousehold(householdId, household.communityId);
  }
}

Exception: Community Collection

The Community collection itself does not have a communityId field - it IS the tenant root. When querying communities:

// Community queries use _id directly (admin operations only)
async findCommunityById(id: string): Promise<Community | null> {
  return this.communityModel.findById(id);
}

Verification Checklist

Before committing any repository/service code:

• [ ] Every find() call includes communityId in filter
• [ ] Every findOne() call includes communityId in filter
• [ ] Every updateOne()/updateMany() includes communityId in filter
• [ ] Every deleteOne()/deleteMany() includes communityId in filter
• [ ] All aggregate pipelines have $match with communityId as first stage
• [ ] communityId comes from JWT/controller, not request body
• [ ] No methods have optional communityId parameter
• [ ] New indexes have communityId as first field in compound indexes
