The connector shipped no requirements.txt, so ensure_installed_host()
installed nothing and every tool call failed with "No module named
'googlemaps'" while the server still answered tools/list — skald logged
"connected — 6 tool(s)" on a connector that could not work.
- add requirements.txt (googlemaps>=4.10.0); deps were declared in the
manifest's `dependencies` field, which skald only uses for the card
- wire the shipped verify.py through a `verify` manifest block, so a
broken install fails visibly at enable time instead of silently
- verify.py puts .pydeps on sys.path: skald sets PYTHONPATH only for the
server process, not for the `sh -c "python3 verify.py"` verify step
- drop the inert mcp_config.env {SECRET:…} placeholder — those tokens are
substituted in the URL only, never in env values
- realign manifest/fragment versions (were 2/1.0.1 vs 5/1.0.4); skald
prefers the manifest, so "update available" could never appear
- requires ENV -> API_KEY; drop deprecated secrets/ path from error text
- regenerate the index
Ogni connector.json ora ha una llm_short_description che elenca i tool
specifici che espone, così l'LLM sa esattamente cosa attivare (lazy load).
SKALD.md: documentata criticità del campo llm_short_description
nel system prompt dell'LLM.
- Aggiunto campo 'title' a tools/list in tutti gli script MCP locali
(Gmail, Gcal, Drive, Email, SSH, Weather, Wikipedia, WhatsApp)
- Aggiunto tools[]/display_name nel manifest per connector remoti/package
esterni (Firecrawl, HTTP Fetch, Exa, Tavily, SerpAPI Flights)
- Documentata convenzione e resolution order in SKALD.md
- Aggiornata manifest_guide.md per tools[] in connectors.json
- Bumped version e sha256 per tutti i 13 connector
auth.deliver changes from as:file to as:env:
- Gmail: GMAIL_CREDS_JSON env var (Google authorized_user JSON)
- Gcal: GCAL_CREDS_JSON env var
mcp_config.env removed entirely — Skald injects the env var at runtime,
no path on disk needed.
Server scripts updated:
- Check GMAIL_CREDS_JSON / GCAL_CREDS_JSON env var first
- Use Credentials.from_authorized_user_info() instead of
from_authorized_user_file()
- Fall back to file-based loading for standalone/legacy use
- _persist_creds only writes to disk when _creds_path is set
gcal/verify.py: support GCAL_CREDS_JSON env var with shared _check_api()
Docs (SKALD.md): updated examples, field table, connector table.
