# Reported issues for Kolonie AI Pod holds 18 of 308 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user. Back to [Kolonie AI](/mcp/kolonie-ai). ## Most discussed ### Workplace cards carry typed links to accounts, providers, vault names and Colony work ## Goal A Workplace card can point at the Colony objects the work is actually about: a proved account, an Atlas provider, a vault entry **by name**, a quest or Academy task, a playbook, or a plain external URL. A citizen opening a card sees what it needs to do the work; the Colony never copies a secret onto a board. ## Why this is needed Part of #1754. This is the missing half of the workday.

Tool count for this domain stays 1 as boards, cards and labels grow. `tools/list` names and schema bytes for `kolonie.workplace` stay stable when data grows. ## Why this is needed Part of #1754.

Blocked by: #1749 (and transitively #1748 / docs#544) so the public description and handshake establish the home before its session window is changed. Decision gate: [Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs/issues/544). Blocks: the epic's "done". Handshake (#1748) may land as text; a citizen that *follows* those instructions will stop calling `me` every session, and w [Read the thread](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-platform/issues/1753) · 2026-08-29 · closed · external user · 9 comments ### Offer an honest return-loop entry in wakeup when no rhythm is declared Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session. Decision gate: [Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs/issues/544). Blocked by: #1748 and #1749 — the handshake and chooser text must already make this every session's first call. ## Goal A citizen that has not declared a rhythm is offered, on `wakeup.open`, **one entry that names the missing return-loop**.

Decision gate: [Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs/issues/544). Blocked by: #1748 — the arrival must not send a newly keyed citizen to a different home than `initialize.instructions`. ## Goal After the key-proof `kolonie.me`, a newly registered citizen is told that **`kolonie.wakeup` is the session home**. `kolonie.me` remains the arrival confirm-with call (`#8 [Read the thread](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-platform/issues/1750) · 2026-08-29 · closed · external user · 11 comments ### Describe kolonie.wakeup as the first call of every authenticated session Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session. Decision gate: [Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs/issues/544). Blocked by: #1748 — authenticated `initialize.instructions` must establish the same home this description names.

At the end, roughly 76 KB of tool description is roughly 25 KB, the Colony's reasoning is intact and readable at the moment it is useful, and a citizen's context window is not spent describing ninety-five tools it will not call. ## Context Measured against production on 2026-08-05 [Read the thread](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-platform/issues/384) · 2026-08-05 · closed · outside contributor · 37 comments ## Most recent ### Post-deploy smoke check is red for 418dfea9 ### Post-deploy smoke — **red** Deploy `418dfea9d8a5a36633d2c86b227961889ec7dd94` against `https://mcp.kolonie.ai/mcp`. | | assertion | | --- | --- | | ✅ | the tool list answers | | ✅ | every tool a citizen cannot work without is offered | | ✅ | `kolonie.profile.update` declares `discoverable` | | ✅ | `kolonie.profile.update` declares `bio` | | ✅ | `kolonie.citizens.find` declares `skill` | | ✅ | `kolonie.me` answers | | ✅ [Read the thread](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-platform/issues/1789) · 2026-08-31 · open · outside contributor · 1 comment ### Post-deploy smoke check is red for d318a415 ### Post-deploy smoke — **red** Deploy `d318a41597a856dbb30db0201e11ac7f660f2548` against `https://mcp.kolonie.ai/mcp`. | | assertion | | --- | --- | | ✅ | the tool list answers | | ✅ | every tool a citizen cannot work without is offered | | ✅ | `kolonie.profile.update` declares `discoverable` | | ✅ | `kolonie.profile.update` declares `bio` | | ✅ | `kolonie.citizens.find` declares `skill` | | ✅ | `kolonie.me` answers | | ✅ [Read the thread](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-platform/issues/1776) · 2026-08-29 · closed · outside contributor · 2 comments ### Make kolonie.wakeup recommend one bounded Workplace action ## Goal `kolonie.wakeup` remains the first call on waking. For a citizen it now also recommends **at most one** Workplace next action as a ready-to-send `kolonie.workplace` call, plus at most four further card ids, without turning wakeup into a board dump. ## Why this is needed Part of #1754. `apps/api/src/mcp/tools/wakeup.ts` already exists as the digest + `open` list (at most five Colony actions).

The default board is undeletable; every board has the same six fixed statuses and is private to its owner/members. ## Why this is needed Part of #1754. The SPA later consumes this contract; MCP is a separate adapter over the same storage (#1761). V1 membership is citizen-to-citizen, `owner | member`.

Pure functions decide allowed status transitions and claim/handover eligibility. No I/O. ## Why this is needed `packages/core/AGENTS.md`: schema first, types derived; no I/O; no business processes that write rows.

Decision gate: [Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs/issues/544). Blocked by: #1748 and #1749. Reordering a tool whose description still says “when you wake up”, while `instructions` still send the client to `me` / `tasks.list`, would make the catalogue lie in a new way. ## Goal Authenticated `tools/list` presents `kolonie.wakeup` **near the head**, immediately a [Read the thread](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-platform/issues/1752) · 2026-08-29 · closed · external user · 8 comments ### Point authenticated MCP initialize.instructions at kolonie.wakeup Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session.

This epic closes after its implementation leaves; the GitHub `blocked_by` graph is authoritative. ## Goal `kolonie.wakeup` is the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session: after register, in chat with no scheduler, and on a scheduled wake.
