Engineering updates from the MCP Hangar team.
03:14:22 — a provider starts returning HTTP 200 responses with malformed payloads. Three seconds later, every agent call is succeeding through the backup. Nobody got paged. The interesting part is which layer did the work — and which layer was insurance the incident never needed.
Most teams read min_healthy as a quorum: drop below it, the group rejects. That's not what it does. The group keeps serving as long as one member is up. min_healthy is the threshold where the state label flips — and if you're not alerting on the label, the number is doing nothing.
Your MCP server passes every 30-second tools/list probe and fails 4 out of 5 real tool calls. The dashboard is green. The agent is producing garbage. Here's why the probe is the wrong instrument — and what the right one looks like.
Everything in mcp-hangar is now MIT, effective v1.2.2. This release removes the dual-license model and simplifies the codebase for all users.
v1.2 introduces SHA-256 digest pinning for MCP tool schemas, implementing a preemptive version of SEP-1766 to detect drift and block unauthorized mutations.
v1.2 implements SEP-1763 P1: hook-based event model, wildcard subscriptions, IMutator contract with priority-ordered pipeline, and interceptors/list endpoint.
v1.1 adds per-tool-call cost tracking, SIEM-ready compliance export (Splunk, Datadog, Sentinel), and end-to-end caller identity in every OTEL span.
Security hardening release: SSRF protection, default-deny command allow-list, granular RBAC, WebSocket origin validation, and trusted proxy resolution.
Your LLM just decided to delete a production alert rule. You didn't ask it to. The approval gate puts a human between the decision and the execution — not for every tool call, but for the ones where 'undo' is a support ticket.
Your agent just discovered it can call hangar_call in a loop. Twelve hundred requests in ninety seconds. Here's how MCP Hangar's two-system rate limiting — token bucket at the command bus, exponential backoff on auth — puts a ceiling on that.
MCP Hangar v1.0 ships identity propagation, compliance-grade audit, Kubernetes enforcement, and sub-millisecond proxy overhead.
