      "Title": "Let users rename a skill in the skills store",
      "Excerpt": "### Problem\n\nOnce a skill exists in the skills store, its name is fixed. The skill form disables the name field with \"Skill name cannot be changed after creation\", and the API rejects a changed `name` on publish with the same message (`LLMSkillSerializer.validate`). The only way to fix a typo, or to rename a skill after its purpose drifted, is Duplicate under a new name and then Archive the original. That loses the version history, resets the owners to whoever duplicated it, and leaves a second…",

The MCP server injects a `context` argument into every tool call (the agent's stated intent, third person, no identifiers) and captures it as…",

      "Excerpt": "## Summary\n\nWhen an agent calls `skill-get` for a name that is not in the project's skills store, the MCP returns the generic API failure shape. To a model that shape reads like a service outage, not a lookup miss. In a recent Slack-driven task run this seeded the belief that \"the skill service does not expose installed skills\", which a later resume turned into the agent refusing to call `skill-get` at all.\n\nCompanion to #99245, which fixes the agent-side causes. This one is a marginal gain on…",

The pointer stub was installed, the PostHog MCP was mounted, and `skill-get` had worked earlier in the same task. The agent still declared that \"this run lacks its required skill-store tool\" and never called it.\n\nThe trace shows the belief formed across a restart. Three things in the desktop agent package let a harmless over-generalization in run 1 become a hard premise in run 2. All three…",

      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nThe anomaly investigation workflow still writes its findings into a legacy rich-text (ProseMirror) notebook. Every other notebook entry point now produces markdown notebooks: the frontend's `defaultNotebookContent` always builds markdown content, and the MCP `notebooks-create` tool is marked `superseded_by: notebooks-create-markdown`.\n\nThat makes the investigation notebook one of the last producers of the old shape, and it blocks agents downstream.

      "Title": "feat(signals): drop the typed-confirm step from scout creation",
      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nCreating a scout over MCP is a two-step, typed-confirm flow: the agent calls `scout-create-prepare`, prints \"Reply **confirm**\", and waits for the user to type `confirm` before it can call `scout-create-execute`. The prepared hash expires in ~15 minutes, so a user who steps away comes back to a lapsed confirmation and has to prepare again.\n\nThis is friction with no matching benefit. A scout is not destructive or irreversible — it can be edited, disabled, put in dry-run, or deleted…",

      "Title": "APM span analysis tools (duration histogram, latency heatmap, span tree) are effectively undiscoverable to agents",
      "Excerpt": "## Why\n\nThe APM MCP family has good analysis tools that agents almost never use. `apm-spans-duration-histogram`, `apm-spans-latency-heatmap`, and `apm-spans-tree` get a tiny fraction of the `query-apm-spans` traffic. They answer questions users ask. One survey respondent asked to sort spans by duration to find hot code paths. The histogram and heatmap tools do that.\n\nThis is a discoverability problem, not a missing capability. Agents list raw spans and reason over them. That is slower, noisier,…",

Tracing has none, in the product or over MCP. Users on the tracing NPS survey asked for it directly, and framed it as parity with the logs experience they already have.\n\nError tracking also has alerting, but it is lifecycle-event routing (issue created, reopened, spiking) and does not use the shared alerts platform. It is not a template for threshold alerting…",

Almost all errors are one failure mode, so this is the single biggest available improvement for agentic tracing exploration.\n\n## What happens\n\nThe dominant validation error is:\n\n```\nInvalid input for \"query-apm-spans\": missing required parameter: query (The tracing spans query to execute.); the fields you sent belong inside it, so resend them as {\"query\": {...}}\n```\n\nAgents send…",
