Released September 18, it preserves model-generated tool calls when a human edits a tool call in a HITL interrupt. The prior 1.4.1 preserved open MCP object arguments through the same path. GitHub Both are cases where the approval step was rewriting what the model asked for, which is the worst possible place for silent mutation because the human believes they approved the original.

The 1.4.0a2 alpha ships langchain.mcp, an MCPAdapter turning any MCP server into tools you hand straight to create_agent. Connection handling is FastMCP's rather than a reimplementation, so a URL, a local stdio script, an in-process FastMCP server, a multi-server config, or a...
agents.tool.ProgrammaticToolCallingTool lets supported Responses models generate JS that coordinates eligible tools instead of one tool call per turn, with per-tool allowed_callers restrictions and structured function-tool outputs. Composes with streaming, guardrails, approval...
Headroom compresses tool outputs, logs, RAG chunks, and files before they ever reach the model. It deploys as a library, a proxy server, or an MCP server, and the benchmarks are blunt: 92% token reduction on code search (17,765 down to 1,408) and SRE debugging (65,694 down to...
Before v4.1.15 on August 23, it only applied to tools also opted in individually, so flipping it appeared to do nothing. Anyone who left it on assuming it was inert has just widened their unattended tool surface across every connected server. (GitHub) Same release train fixed...
Version 0.0.7 lets you authorize MCP servers per channel, hot-reload MCP config, and use OAuth plus device auth for the Slack and GitHub integrations. Subagents gained several shapes: background expendable, fork-mode, fresh, and per-task tool selection. The channel-scoping is...
MCPConfig.tools now accepts Agent, Team and Workflow instances plus Toolkit objects, exposing each as its own named MCP tool. You call chief, not run_agent(agent_id="chief"). Toolkits publish one MCP tool per registered method, narrowed by the toolkit's own enable/include/excl...
