The smoke test workflow failed when the MCP gateway attempted to list tools from the safe-inputs HTTP server, receiving:
{"error":{"code":-32001,"message":"Session not found"},"id":2}This prevented the
safeinputs-ghtool from being registered, making GitHub CLI operations unavailable to agents.Root Cause
Safe-inputs MCP HTTP server ran in stateful mode, requiring session initialization before
tools/listRPC calls. The MCP gateway connects to HTTP servers expecting stateless mode (no session required).Changes
Changed safe-inputs server from stateful to stateless mode:
Recompiled all 134 workflow lock files to propagate the change.
Impact
safeinputs-ghtool becomes available for authenticated GitHub CLI operationsOriginal prompt
