+"""Tests for guardrail-block recording in
+``litellm.proxy._experimental.mcp_server.server.call_mcp_tool``.
+
+A pre-call MCP guardrail block *raises* into ``call_mcp_tool``'s
+``except Exception``. The failure spend-log row that the Guardrails Monitor's
+"Total Blocked" counts is written by ``_ProxyDBLogger.async_post_call_failure_hook``
+(reached via ``proxy_logging_obj.post_call_failure_hook``), which reads
+``standard_logging_object`` off the request's logging obj -- and that only exists
+once ``failure_handler`` / ``async_failure_handler`` have run. So the failure
+handlers must run *before* ``post_call_failure_hook``, otherwise the row persists
+with ``guardrail_information=None`` and the block is never counted. These tests
+pin that ordering.
+
+``call_mcp_tool`` is wrapped by ``@client`` (``litellm.utils.client``), which uses
+``functools.wraps`` and therefore exposes the raw undecorated coroutine as
+``__wrapped__``. The tests drive ``__wrapped__`` directly so the except-block
+ordering is observed in isolation, without the wrapper's own post-raise logging
+firing. Note that this means they do not exercise the wrapper's dedup path; that
+dedup rests on ``should_run_logging("sync_failure")`` / ``("async_failure")``,
+which has its own coverage in the logging tests.
+
+``proxy_logging_obj`` is imported lazily inside the except block via
+``from litellm.proxy.proxy_server import proxy_logging_obj``; the real
+``proxy_server`` module is heavy, so a fake module is injected into ``sys.modules``
+to satisfy that lazy import without loading it.
