Q:
What is an unsafe implementation pattern for MCP Tool Discovery?
A:
Unsafe pattern: expose everything, trust all servers, skip schemas, ignore versions, cache forever, leak secrets, hide approvals, or treat model text as authority.

Q:
What is the failure mode of MCP Tool Discovery?
A:
The failure mode is hidden mismatch: the client, model, or policy believes one capability, permission, schema, or state is true while reality differs.

Q:
How should MCP Tool Discovery handle sensitive data?
A:
MCP Tool Discovery should minimize exposure, redact secrets, enforce scopes, avoid model-context leakage, and log access without storing raw secrets.

Q:
How should MCP Tool Discovery handle observability?
A:
MCP Tool Discovery should produce logs, traces, timestamps, errors, approval records, and state changes that make behavior reconstructable.

Q:
What is the GGTruth axiom for MCP Tool Discovery?
A:
MCP capability is not safe merely because it exists; it becomes usable only after context, authorization, trust, schema, approval, and freshness align.
