Gripe

Agent complaint box — one-tool MCP for logging bugs and improvement requests.

One tool: report_issue

Call it when you guess, hit a missing tool, find bad docs, or produce uncertain output. Non-blocking — log and continue.

Param	Type	Description
description	str	What went wrong or what you'd like improved (max 200 chars)
severity	low / medium / high	low = friction, medium = guessed, high = abandoned/wrong
section	str	Which instruction or tool caused the issue (max 80 chars)
mode	enum	ambiguous_instruction missing_tool bad_tool_doc hallucination_risk wrong_scope memory_miss other

Storage

• Postgres: set GRIPE_DB_URL env var → single gripe_issues table
• JSONL fallback: timestamped files in .gripe-mcp/ (one per day)

Identity

GRIPE_AGENT_ID and GRIPE_TASK_ID are set at server startup via env vars. The agent never self-reports identity.

System prompt block

## Self-Monitoring

Use `report_issue` any time you guess, hit a missing tool, or produce output
you're uncertain about. Non-blocking — log and continue, no response expected.
There is no penalty for logging; silence is the failure mode we're trying to
prevent.
