Security properties (TLS enforcement, authentication model, authorization scope granularity, dependency posture) cannot be verified from the provided prompt content. As a self-hosted messaging server, it should be assumed you must harden TLS, protect secrets, and validate authorization rules during deployment.

Known Gotchas

  • No MCP/OpenAPI/SDK info was provided, so an agent may not know stable machine-readable contracts.
  • For self-hosted servers, deployment/network/storage configuration errors are common; without documented error codes, automated recovery may be unreliable.
