MCP composition lifecycle
Follow one governed endpoint from upstream registration and versioned composition through discovery, policy, execution, provenance, and audit.
The current slice implements MCP initialize, tools/list, and tools/call. Full protocol conformance, immutable promotion history, connected accounts, and distributed routing remain release work.
Use this reference when
- Designing namespaces, aliases, version pins, and a stable downstream MCP contract.
- Reviewing exactly where identity, policy, approval, schema validation, routing, and audit run.
- Understanding failure behavior before introducing side-effecting tools.
What it covers
Register and compose
Core objects, endpoint safety, pinned upstream definitions, stable namespaces, aliases, draft guards, and publication state.
Discover and execute
Scoped sessions, protocol initialization, list/call authorization parity, JSON Schema validation, approvals, dispatch, and provenance.
Fail safely and stay portable
Explicit failure semantics, executor security boundaries, secret-safe export, and the shared managed cloud and Kubernetes contract.
