Tracehub-mcp and Cost-Guard-mcp update default security settings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author details recent upgrades to the tracehub-mcp and cost-guard-mcp tools, highlighting significant changes in default security configurations. Tracehub-mcp now defaults to a loopback address for its HTTP listener, requiring authentication via a bearer token or an explicit opt-out to prevent unauthorized access to traces from various backends. Cost-guard-mcp's query execution has also been modified, with a new default behavior that returns only the first 1000 rows for large queries, which is now considered a billed execution. These changes, implemented following an internal audit, are documented to assist users with the upgrade process. AI
