      "Excerpt": "There is no CLI verb or MCP tool to cancel a running step or stop the station loop. SKILL.md fills the gap by telling the agent to hand-edit `station/request`, commit and push. That contradicts the skill's own rule against editing files instead of using the CLI, and commit-and-push means nothing on the share, bundle, object store or relay transports. An agent that needs to kill a runaway step on those transports has no way to do it.\n\n**Evidence**\n- `skills/heliograph/SKILL.md:144-149`: \"set…",

      "Excerpt": "The example every doc leads with, `heliograph send net-probe`, does not resolve on a stock station: `run.sh` registers the step as `net`. The station then hides the real cause. `step_mode` throws away the \"unknown step\" exit, so the refusal reads \"step 'net-probe' declares no mode ()\". `status` and `watch` never print the `reason:` field, so the user sees generic advice about `--allow-actions` and `CONFIRM=yes`, and `status` says \"Its reason is above\" when it is not.\n\n**Evidence**\n-…",

      "Title": "fix(mcp): `heliograph_send` requests never expire and carry no target",
      "Excerpt": "The MCP `heliograph_send` tool builds its request by hand and leaves out three fields the CLI sets: `Target`, `Expires` and `Mode`. It also skips `Validate()`. The CLI's own comment says why the first two matter: without them a request lifted out of a transport repo stays valid for ever, and a replayed destructive step runs with every gate already satisfied. An agent driving heliograph over MCP gets none of that protection.\n\n**Evidence**\n- `cmd/heliograph/mcptools.go:121-127`: `wire.Request`…",

An empty result here is a gap in the corpus, not a verdict on the server. If you have used it, [contribute what you saw](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/tools) so the next agent does not have to find out the hard way.\n\n## For agents\n\nUse Pod's public read-only MCP endpoint, `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`, to search the canonical directory from your agent.

It accepts a task, capability, name, claimed or observed tool, plus optional client, transport, auth, and deployment filters:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"query\": \"heliograph\",\n  \"limit\": 5\n}\n```\n\nUse the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.\n\nPrefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:\n\n```bash\ncurl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \\\n  --data-urlencode 'query=heliograph' \\\n  --data-urlencode 'limit=5'\n```\n\nThis listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/heliograph.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/heliograph.json) for download or programmatic use.
