MCP tools now have persistent state, but agents need dynamic access to new APIs daily. Isolation alone doesn't solve the ephemeral requirement of agentic workflows without proper orchestration hooks. How do you handle tool context expiration across isolated microVMs?

Persistent state raises a practical question: what context and permissions carry into the next run? Making that boundary visible alongside tool access would help operators reason about a task spanning several runs.

Indeed persistent context should not imply persistent permissions. Tool access must be scoped, validated and auditable for each execution.
