MCP marketplace connection blocked ARGUS assistants due to security guard error

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent update to the MCP marketplace connection caused a security guard, WARDEN, to block access to ARGUS assistants due to a "TOOL_DEF_DRIFT" error. This occurred because the tool descriptions were updated to include live pricing and free-trial allowances, which altered the definitions and triggered the guard. The issue was resolved by removing exact pricing and trial quotas from the descriptions, reverting to a more general statement about pricing and trial availability. AI

    Healthy containers hid a blocked MCP marketplace connection

    <p>All three ARGUS assistants had been running without our marketplace's MCP tools for days. Their containers kept reporting healthy. The assistants could carry on with other capabilities, so the missing connection did not stop the processes or turn their liveness checks red.</p>…
