What

The internal metrics forwarder, reached only on first-party accounts, now removes a list of potentially identifying fields before sending, collapses tool and feature names into generic buckets, and limits how often per-server MCP events can be sent.

Details
  • Deleted fields include the MCP server base URL and name, the MCP tool name, a hashed error message, and two hashed skill names.
  • Any tool name collapses to mcp when the event is flagged as MCP, where previously only names beginning with mcp__ were collapsed. Names beginning with skill__ become skill, and feature names beginning with tool_skill_ become tool_skill, except tool_skill_tool.
  • Five MCP events are capped at 10 forwards per 60 second window per server, tracked across at most 200 server keys, and the count suppressed since the last send rides along as droppedSinceLastForward.
