Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Shorten the MCP server alias in settings (mcpServers key) or tool names; write policy rules against the actual registered (truncated) name.
Option: Shorten the MCP server alias in settings (mcpServers key) or tool names; write policy rules against the actual registered (truncated) name. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Registering MCP tools whose mcp_<server>_<tool> name exceeds 63 characters
Steps:
1. Rename the server key in mcpServers to something short.
2. Check the registered tool names in /mcp.
3. Update allow/policy rules to the displayed names.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
