ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a substantial production MCP workflow for persistent cross-thread agent coordination, including starting, interrupting, reviving, and settling provider work, and grants the capability by default to MCP credentials. An unresolved high-severity finding also identifies retry-ID collisions that can affect command deduplication. Not approved because:

the detail snapshot so the summary and attention IDs are derived from
detail.value.thread, not the earlier thread shell returned by target. Reuse the
existing detail snapshot and avoid issuing another detail query, keeping its
thread data and snapshotSequence from the same transaction.

- Line 73: Update makeTool to accept a destructive parameter and use it for the
Tool.Destructive annotation; pass true when registering set_thread_settled and
interrupt_thread, while preserving false for non-mutating tools.

- Line 171: Update the read_thread handler around getSnapshotSequence and
getThreadDetailSnapshot to fetch the target shell, detail, and projector
sequence in a single projection transaction. Use that transaction’s shell for
the project validation and its sequence as the consistency token, removing
reliance on the global pre-read while preserving the existing snapshot-sequence
comparison behavior.

Latest head 82170e8 has no new CodeRabbit findings and its check is successful. The generic docstring-coverage warning is left unchanged: AGENTS.md asks us not to document every function or narrate control flow, and the non-obvious snapshot option is documented on ProjectionSnapshotQuery.getThreadDetailSnapshot. Macroscope’s original retry-collision finding was reproduced and fixed in 4ee2a76; its summary remains stale, and its assistant reports that this account cannot request repository actions. |

Revalidated the final native head The standalone MCP v0.1.3 also passed the requested-model bidirectional messaging and settle/revive live matrix against released T3 0.0.40. The Agentdoc Teams consumer passed browser-driven assignment, completion reporting, settlement/revival, and history recovery after a clean T3 restart. Consumer validation and screenshots. |

That would be really great to have. |

Was just looking at implementing this today, would be great |

The standalone MCP now has a globally installable v0.2.0 release. Its default mode no longer requires a parent/source thread: one configuration routes tools across named, authenticated environments and projects. It also exposes provider discovery and lifecycle management. Explicit source-thread configuration retains this PR's original scoped tool contract for existing coordinators. Validated the globally installed binary against released T3 0.0.40 and 0.0.42. Real Astra-low on environment A used it to create Fable-low on B; Fable used the MCP itself to reply to A. Browser evidence and lifecycle coverage are in GLOBAL-E2E.md. The two test servers ran on one Mac. Global mode extends the standalone server; this native PR remains project-scoped. The release explicitly documents the remaining API gaps: native conversation forks, session handoff between hosts, and archived-history reads before restoration. |

Thanks for the PR. We're not taking changes to the orchestration and provider layers right now: that part of the server is being rewritten for V2, and merging into the current code would either conflict with or be thrown away by that work. Closing for now. If this is still an issue once V2 lands, please reopen (or open a fresh PR against the new code) and we'll take a proper look. |

Agents can delegate to persistent peer threads and resume old work through T3's existing MCP connection. This adds project-scoped create, list, read, send, wait, interrupt, and settle/reactivate tools. Peers remain ordinary T3 threads, including when the two agents use different providers.
The tools reuse orchestration commands and stored command receipts. Optional retry IDs prevent duplicate creation or execution after reconnects. Outgoing messages identify their source; external coordinators can omit the reply instruction. Waits subscribe before reading state, distinguish successive attention requests, and avoid reporting an old completion while new work awaits adoption. Creation leaves an empty thread at the project root; it does not copy history or create a worktree.
A standalone compatibility MCP server works with unmodified T3 0.0.40 while this is reviewed. Its tool contract is generated from this implementation. It uses existing authenticated HTTP routes and polls for waits. Validation notes and remote-browser screenshots are attached to its release.
Validation:
T3 0.0.40 rejects changing an already-bound thread from Codex to Claude; this change does not add driver migration. Cross-provider peer communication works. Related work: #10627 includes a broader agent-workflow and MCP gateway proposal.
Model/harness: GPT-6 via Codex. Adversarial review: GPT-6 Astra, low reasoning.
