Permission denied: agent does not have capability to use tool 'mcp_tavily_search'

[HeyMaster311]

Description

After editting config.toml as

[[mcp_servers]]
name = "tavily"
timeout_secs = 60
env = ["TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-YOUR_ACTUAL_API_KEY"]

[mcp_servers.transport]
type = "stdio"
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "tavily-mcp@latest"]

We can clearly see on the dashboard-skills-MCP servers that Tavily is connected (green). However, when we tell the agent to use it to gather information, the agent returns

Permission denied: agent does not have capability to use tool 'mcp_tavily_search'

Expected Behavior

Is this related to the security policy or is there any setup I missed?

I think you have to add the tool to capabilities for your chosen agent in the .openfang/agents/[your-agent]/agent.toml file

[capabilities]
tools = ["file_read", "file_write", "file_list", "your_tool_here"]

Yes, immediately tried that. Still no meaningful returns. One interesting thing is that one request credit seems to be consumed this time.

Fixed in v0.3.36. MCP tools were being stripped by the ToolInvoke capability filter even though they already passed their own MCP server allowlist. Extension tools (MCP and skills) now bypass the capability check since they have their own security boundaries.

I tested, MCP works but skills installed from Clawhub cannot use, do I need to modify something else?
