What
Sidecar .meta.json files are now parsed through a zod schema before their contents are used.
Details
listRemoteAgentMetadata runs safeParse on each file and skips invalid ones, logging the parse error- both the sync and async MCP task listers do the same, so arbitrary JSON no longer flows into the list
Evidence
listMcpTaskMetadata: skipping , listRemoteAgentMetadata: skipping
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
