⏺ I can see the improvement plan is already created. Let me check the beads
status to see what tasks are ready to work on.
⏺ Bash(bd ready)
⎿ 📋 Ready work (6 issues with no blockers):
1. [● P2] [task] Rootly-MCP-server-a8z: Add output schemas to MCP tools
… +9 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ I can see the improvement plan and beads are ready. The previous session was
trying to set up the mcp-openai server to get GPT-4o to review the plan, but
there were configuration issues.
Let me check if the OpenAI MCP server is now available. If not, I'll propose a
path forward.
Based on the beads, the highest priority security tasks from Stage 1 of the
plan are:
- Rootly-MCP-server-561: Stop logging API token prefixes (HIGH priority
security)
- Rootly-MCP-server-jds: Remove traceback exposure (HIGH priority security)
Since the GPT-4o review setup had technical issues and you want to continue
the work, I have two options:
1. Skip GPT-4o review for now and start implementing Stage 1 (Critical
Security Fixes) - the two high-priority security beads above
2. Try one more time to get GPT-4o review via a different method (manual paste
to ChatGPT, or check if the MCP server is now working)
Which would you prefer? The security issues are critical and should be fixed
soon, but if you still want external validation on the plan first, we can
pursue that.

available to me, which suggests the mcp-openai server didn't load
successfully. Let me check the Claude logs to see if there were any errors.

1 # GPT-4o Review of Rootly MCP Server Improvement Plan

5 ## 1. Security Assessment
6
7 **Addressed Concerns:** The plan effectively addresses several cr
itical security concerns, such as logging API tokens, exposing st
ack traces, and lack of input validation. These are essential cor
rections that should be prioritized.
8
9 **Missing Considerations:** While the plan covers some high-prior
ity security issues, it lacks details on encryption for data in t
ransit and at rest, protection against common web vulnerabilities
like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site r
equest forgery (CSRF). Additionally, there is no mention of secur
ity audits or penetration testing to validate the effectiveness o
f the implemented security measures.

12
13 -### Stage 1: Fix Critical Security Issues (1 week)
13 +### Stage 1: Fix Critical Security Issues (1.5 weeks)
14
15 **What's wrong:**
16 - Your API tokens are being logged (even partially) which is a
security risk
17 - Error messages contain full stack traces that expose internal
file paths and implementation details
18 - No validation that URLs and tokens are properly formatted bef
ore using them
19 +- Missing HTTPS enforcement and data-in-transit protection
20 +- No security audit or vulnerability scanning
21
22 **What we'll do:**
23 - Remove all token logging - just say "token configured" instea
d
24 - Strip stack traces from error responses (log them server-side
only)
25 - Validate tokens and URLs before using them
26 - Add timeout to all network requests
27 +- **NEW:** Enforce HTTPS for all API calls (reject HTTP)
28 +- **NEW:** Add input sanitization to prevent injection attacks
29 +- **NEW:** Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
30 +- **NEW:** Run security audit with tools like `bandit` and `saf
+ety`
31 +- **NEW:** Add dependency vulnerability scanning to CI pipeline
32
33 **Files affected:** `__main__.py`, `client.py`, `server.py`, an
d create new `security.py`
34
28 -**Why this matters:** These are high-severity security vulnerab
-ilities that could expose sensitive data.

315 +## Changes From Original Plan
316 +
317 +Based on GPT-4o review, we added:
318 +1. **Enhanced security** (HTTPS enforcement, rate limiting, se
+curity audits)
319 +2. **CI/CD pipeline** (automated testing, deployment)
320 +3. **Monitoring & observability** (structured logging, metrics
+, alerting)
321 +4. **Detailed testing strategy** (unit, integration, E2E, secu
+rity tests)
322 +5. **Extended timeline** (8-10 weeks instead of 6-8 for realis
+m)
323 +6. **Additional risks** (team resources, technical debt)
324 +
325 +See `GPT4O_REVIEW.md` for complete feedback and recommendation
+s.
⏺ Perfect! I've updated the improvement plan based on GPT-4o's comprehensive
review. Here's what changed:
Key Enhancements Added:
1. Stage 1 expanded (1.5 weeks now):
- HTTPS enforcement
- Input sanitization
- Rate limiting
- Security auditing tools (bandit, safety)
- Dependency vulnerability scanning
2. Stage 4 significantly enhanced (2 weeks now):
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Detailed testing strategy (unit, integration, E2E, security tests)
- TDD approach for new features
- Automated linting and security scanning
3. Stage 6 expanded (2 weeks):
- Structured logging with correlation IDs
- Monitoring and observability (health checks, metrics, alerting)
- Developer training materials
4. Timeline extended to 8-10 weeks (more realistic)
5. Additional risks added:
- Team resource changes
- Unforeseen technical debt
Now, regarding your question about the Rootly API key - I can see you already
have it configured in your Claude Desktop config. For Claude Code CLI to
access it, you have several secure options:
Option 1: Environment Variable (Most Secure)
export ROOTLY_API_TOKEN="your-token-here"
Option 2: Add to Claude Code CLI MCP Config
Similar to how we added the OpenAI server, but I notice you already have a
Rootly MCP server in your Claude Desktop config. Let me check if it's
configured for CLI:
⏺ Bash(claude mcp list | grep -i rootly)
⎿ No matches found
❯ I am not sure why this is broken down into weeks, we will do everything
at once
⏺ I see you want to do everything at once rather than in stages. That changes
the approach significantly! Before we dive into that, let me check your Rootly
configuration:
⏺ Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Perfect! I can see:
1. Railway MCP is already configured in your home directory config (line 832)
2. mcp-openai is working for the current project
3. You want to do everything at once instead of staged weeks
Let me address your key points:
1. "Do Everything At Once" Approach
Got it! Instead of 8-10 weeks staged, you want to implement all improvements
in parallel. This means the plan becomes an implementation checklist, not a
timeline. Let me create that version:
⏺ Write(IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md)
⎿ Wrote 182 lines to IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md
1 # Rootly MCP Server - Implementation Checklist
2
3 **Approach:** All improvements implemented concurrently (not sta
ged)
4 **Based on:** GPT-4o reviewed plan (see `GPT4O_REVIEW.md` and `I
MPROVEMENT_PLAN.md`)

9 - [ ] Remove all API token logging (stop logging token prefixes)
10 - [ ] Strip stack traces from error responses (keep server-side
only)
… +172 lines (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ 2. Providing Your Rootly API Key
You asked how to provide the Rootly API key so I can test the implementation.
Here are your options:
Option 1: Environment Variable (Most Secure)
export ROOTLY_API_TOKEN="your-actual-token-here"
Then I can access it via os.environ['ROOTLY_API_TOKEN']
Option 2: Add Rootly MCP Server to Claude Code CLI
claude mcp add --transport stdio rootly-mcp-server \
--scope local \
--env ROOTLY_API_TOKEN="your-token-here" \
-- uv run --directory
"/Users/sylvainkalache/Dropbox/work/MCP-servers/Rootly-MCP-server"
rootly-mcp-server
Option 3: Create a .env file (make sure it's in .gitignore):
echo "ROOTLY_API_TOKEN=your-token-here" > .env
echo ".env" >> .gitignore
Which approach do you prefer? Once you provide the key via one of these
methods, I can:
1. Run the existing MCP server to understand current behavior
2. Implement all the improvements from the checklist
3. Test each improvement as I go
4. Verify everything works before we're done
Summary of what we've accomplished:
- ✅ GPT-4o reviewed the improvement plan
- ✅ Saved GPT-4o feedback to GPT4O_REVIEW.md
- ✅ Updated IMPROVEMENT_PLAN.md with GPT-4o recommendations
- ✅ Created IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md for "do everything at once" approach
- ✅ Set up mcp-openai server in Claude Code CLI
Next: Provide the Rootly API key, and I'll start implementing the checklist!
