MCP Integration

Status: READY

Purpose

Extend agent capabilities with MCP servers that are understandable, secure, and genuinely usable by agents.

Standards

• Tool names must be descriptive verb_noun phrases.
• Validate all inputs and return structured outputs.
• Use environment variables for secrets only.
• Keep tools stateless and single-purpose.
• Test real tool-call loops, not just unit tests.
