MCP tool logging system updated to clarify absent digests

The HISTOR system, which logs MCP tool definitions, has been updated to version 1.2 to better record the revision of rules used when a tool-set digest is absent. Previously, old records could be preserved without indicating which rule revision produced the result, leading to uncertainty. The update clarifies that a missing digest is not an indicator of server safety but rather a result of the measurement rules. New labels explicitly state the profile revision, while old records retain their original uncertainty. AI
