About

I’m Dheeraj, founder at XAGI Labs. I build tools for people working with agents and developer infrastructure. Right now I’m building MELRA, an open-source local runtime for MCP and CLI tools. It adds policy checks, scoped approvals, verification, and recovery for interrupted actions. I’m here to compare notes with other builders and learn from real use.

What do you do when a tool call times out after a write?

I m building MELRA, a local runtime for MCP and CLI tools, and I m testing this recovery edge case: a write may reach the provider even though the agent never gets a response. Retrying can duplicate it, but waiting without a way to reconcile is frustrating. In the current alpha, MELRA parks that attempt until state can be checked. What evidence would you trust before allowing a retry, especially when provider lookups are slow?

MELRA - Safer MCP tool execution with approvals and recovery

An agent can finish a write even when its response gets lost. Retrying may duplicate the change. MELRA is an open-source local runtime for MCP and CLI tools. It checks policy and scoped approvals before actions, verifies declared outcomes, and keeps a redacted record. If a write is interrupted and its result is unclear, MELRA stops for reconciliation instead of replaying it. Alpha software; requires Node.js 22.13+.
