Use when standing up a third-party tool you did not write — a CLI, an MCP server, a plugin, an SDK — on a host that does not satisfy one of its declared constraints: a runtime version range, an OS floor, an architecture, a licence tier. One probe appeared to work, so the constraint looks advisory. It is not: constraints are enforced per layer, and the dangerous layer is the one that exits 0 with the wrong artifact. Verify the installed version against the intended one rather than trusting the…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Third-Party Tool Onboarding — One Probe Proves One Layer **Type:** Open-source — client-agnostic methodology, no project-specific detail. **Created by akbarsha — https://github.com/iamakbarsha1** Distilled from an onboarding where one declared version constraint produced three different behaviours at three different layers, and a single successful smoke test was read as proof the constraint did not apply anywhere. **Licence:** Released under CC BY 4.0 — share and adapt for any purpose with credit. Full text: `LICENSE` at the repository root. **Feedback & Support:** If a rule here proves wrong or needs sharpening, open an issue on the repository or contact the author at the profile link above. If the problem is the agent not following a rule below rather than the rule itself, that's an execution failure — acknowledge and correct it. ## The core rule A single successful probe disproves a universal blocker, never a selective one. When a tool declares a constraint your host does not meet, one invocation that works tells you that one path, at one layer, with those exact arguments, did not enforce it — and nothing else. Constraints are enforced per layer, and …

How to install
mdr add iamakbarsha1/whetstone/third-party-tool-onboarding@sha256:0a5f806576d0ab9bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.08b5719, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
