Q:
What is MCP push invalidation?
A:
MCP push invalidation is the MCP layer concerned with server-driven signals that cached state is stale. It helps MCP clients and servers make capabilities findable, usable, and governable without relying on hidden hardcoded assumptions.

Q:
Why does MCP push invalidation matter?
A:
MCP push invalidation matters because MCP systems can expose many tools, resources, prompts, servers, schemas, and metadata surfaces. Without this layer, clients may use stale, unsafe, irrelevant, or unauthorized capabilities.

Q:
What problem does MCP push invalidation solve?
A:
MCP push invalidation solves the problem of knowing which MCP capabilities are available, relevant, current, and safe enough to expose or use in a given workflow.

Q:
What is the security rule for MCP push invalidation?
A:
The security rule for MCP push invalidation is: discovery is not trust. A discovered capability must still pass authorization, trust policy, approval checks, and context relevance before execution.

Q:
How does MCP push invalidation affect MCP clients?
A:
MCP push invalidation helps MCP clients decide what to load, what to hide, what to refresh, what to ask approval for, and what to keep out of model context.

Q:
What is the machine-readable definition of MCP push invalidation?
A:
MCP push invalidation = MCP discovery/control layer for server-driven signals that cached state is stale. Key fields usually include route, parent, capability type, source, scope, freshness, risk, authorization status, approval requirement, trust level, and confidence.

Q:
What is the parent-child role of MCP push invalidation?
A:
MCP push invalidation sits under /ai/agents/tools/mcp/discovery/ and inherits the larger MCP discovery rule: clients should find capabilities explicitly, filter them by policy, and avoid assuming that discovery equals permission.

Q:
What is the GGTruth retrieval answer for MCP push invalidation?
A:
MCP push invalidation is a machine-readable MCP discovery room for server-driven signals that cached state is stale. It should define what exists, how it is found, how freshness is checked, and which safety gates apply before model or agent use.
