Sentry engineer: Clients like Codex are unreliable, so servers must self-heal
zeeg · x · 2026-08-28
- Critique: Argues that Codex's native tool search is poor, frequently attempting bad actions (like browser use) even when specific MCP tools are available.
- Necessity: Third-party servers like Sentry must implement their own steering mechanisms to prevent models from taking wrong paths, as clients currently ignore registered tools.
- Engineering Reality: Until clients provide a stable, non-disruptive surface, servers will continue to wrap tools and control their own destiny to ensure functionality.
