DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

MCP policy URL predicates flag collapsible dot segments

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal0
MCP

MCP URL allowlist patterns that could be rewritten by dot segments are now flagged with fix instructions.

What

Expansion safety analysis now catches allowlist patterns whose expanded path would be silently rewritten by URL parsing.

Details
  • A pattern containing $ whose expanded path carries a .. or . segment is treated as unsafe.
  • The diagnostic explains how to fix it and distinguishes patterns where the $ is not a real ${NAME} reference.
  • The variable list in the diagnostic now includes missing variables, and the analysis result exposes missingVars to callers.
  • Allowlist entries using an unsafe expansion continue to fail closed.
Evidence

the expanded entry's path carries a dot segment ('..' or '.') that URL parsing would collapse

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
