google-docs-mcp 0.1.2: the right sign-in command, clear expiry errors and decoded quotes

google-docs-mcp 0.1.2 names the right sign-in command, explains expired sign-ins, refuses files that aren't Google Docs and decodes quoted text in comments.

One sandbox detail worth checking in any coding agent: where /tmp goes. In BenchSmoke's Codewhale test, a file written to /tmp inside the sandbox showed up in the machine's real /tmp, on both 0.10.1 and 0.10.2. Shared temp space can carry files out of the sandbox.

New step in my agent harness series: the model is not a security boundary, the harness is 🚧🧑‍✈️ Allowlist, human approval, loop limit… and why approving a sed -i is approving blindly 🙈 calm.show/blog/build-y... Still naive, still a pleasure to share 💞

Vercel Labs open-sourced a fix for the most annoying agent failure: your agent crashes on step 40 of 60, and steps 1 to 39 are gone. It's called durable-harness.

Notes on Kimi K3.1 - this one is a big deal, the first time an open weights (well, soon-to-be open weights) model has competed this credibly with the current frontier simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/23/...

Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro

Kimi K3.1 Pro landed on the Kimi API today - it's not yet open weights, but Moonshot promise "Full model weights will be released by Nov 4, 2026". They're also …

HubSpot on skills vs plugins vs MCP connectors: skills are procedure, connectors are access, plugins are distribution. Separate the three and the choice gets easy. Kin 93.2 https://apis.io/2026/10/23/hubspot-explains-skills-plugins-and-connectors-as-procedure-access-and-distribution/

Codex has a default 32 KiB limit for AGENTS.md files combined. So some may never reach the agent if the file is too big. I cut out anything that's obvious from the code or README, keeping only non-obvious implementation decisions and rules.

Exposing a monolithic API through a single Model Context Protocol (MCP) server degrades model reasoning. Because the protocol lacks progressive disclosure, overwhelming an LLM with excessive tool descriptions dilutes context signal, inflates input tokens and confuses smaller models. #MCP

Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only if no CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md exists in your working dir or any parent, ~/CLAUDE.md included. ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md is exempt from that check. https://importstatic.com/ai/agents-md-vs-claude-md
