Recommended action: Read the stderr in the message, validate the mcp config, and use the default MCP template (or a template that includes mcp-gateway). Option: Read the stderr in the message, validate the mcp config, and use the default MCP template (or a template that includes mcp-gateway). [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Sandbox.create with the mcp option (uses the default MCP template) Steps: 1. Log error.message fully (contains stderr). 2. Validate per-server credentials in the mcp config. 3. Do not override template with one lacking mcp-gateway. Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
