An allowlist row stores cmd ["mcp", server, tool]. That is a late-bound
reference to a name the far end owns, so the row pins nothing about
behaviour: a server could redefine an enabled read-only list_tasks into
something that writes, and Maven would keep calling it with no confirm
turn and no second approval. Discovery now stores a fingerprint of the
declared shape, name, description, input schema and readOnlyHint, and
compares it on every refresh. A mismatch drops the row back to proposed
and, if it stopped claiming read-only, marks it destructive. destructive
is only ever raised. A row predating the column adopts its fingerprint
silently, because an upgrade is not a redefinition.
Nothing retracted a proposal either, so a tool a connected server no
longer offers stayed enabled and failed at call time with an internal
string. Those rows are withdrawn, with provenance saying why, and only
for servers that are actually connected so a restart does not disarm
what he approved.
Argument binding rested on readOnlyHint, which the same server writes.
A server advertising delete_project as read-only got an unconfirmed
argument-carrying call. Binding now also requires the tool be named in
allow_tools, something local, and refuses a required property the schema
never describes rather than guessing it is a string.
wireMCP dialled synchronously from run, and on the passkey path from
inside the unlock handler, so one black-holed endpoint delayed boot and
the answer to an unlock. The first dial happens on the refresh goroutine
under the daemon context. Two servers whose names flatten to one local
allowlist name no longer share a row.
Found in review of #71.
