Before connecting an MCP server, identify its operator, the data it receives, and the actions its credentials allow. A server configuration and an agent attachment are separate resources to review.
Threetone can store server configuration and tool approval records. Tool discovery is unavailable, and Test Connection is disabled. Stored approval settings do not establish live confirmation, tool-change detection, or execution enforcement.

Review the connection

1

Verify the operator and endpoint

Follow MCP server setup. Confirm the intended HTTPS endpoint and transport with the operator. Selecting I trust this server records your acknowledgement; it is not a Threetone verification of the server.
2

Limit credentials and transmitted data

Use the supported secret or auth-connection workflow. Review secret_token, request_headers, request_meta, and auth_connection as applicable. Keep the credential’s actual permissions limited to the required actions.A secret reference avoids placing a credential in authored prose. It does not reduce the permissions held by the receiving server.
3

Record approval intent

Review approval_policy and any per-tool records. Keep an operator-supplied copy of the tool names, descriptions, and input schemas while live discovery is unavailable. Do not describe that copy as a successful connection test.
4

Read back the saved resources

Use Get MCP server to inspect configuration and stored approval records. Separately inspect the intended server ID in the agent draft’s mcp_server_ids list.

Approval fields

Create MCP server tool approval stores a hash derived from the supplied name, description, and input schema. That record does not demonstrate that a future changed tool is blocked. Review changed definitions and remove obsolete approvals through the corresponding delete operation.

Frequently asked questions

No. It stores an approval policy. The actual runtime confirmation and enforcement path must be verified when execution is available.
No. Your application and the service owning the data must enforce authorization. Tool descriptions and returned content do not grant permission to read or change resources.
