httporstdio), host, port - Server metadata: tool count, server version
- Runtime environment: Python version, OS type and release
- Timing: device timestamp
- Errors: error messages (if startup fails)
Privacy
- For anonymous users: Events are tracked with an anonymous ID and no user profile is created
- For authenticated users: Events are linked to your account to help us provide better support
- No sensitive data (credentials, tool inputs/outputs, or personal information) is ever collected
