The head of the National Capital Planning Commission says crews can start demolishing parts of the White House for a new ballroom without needing approval

Here’s a cleaned-up, clearer, and more structured version of your issue report: * * * ### **Issue:`require_approval` filter behaves incorrectly when `tool_names` arrays are empty** I’m seeing unexpected behavior when configuring the `require_approval` filter for MCP tools. #### **Code Example** { server_label: server.label, server_url: server.url, allowed_tools: allowedTools, require_approval: { never: { tool_names: noApprovalNeeded, }, }, server_description: server.description, headers, } #### **Problem 1: Empty`never.tool_names` disables all approval requests** When `noApprovalNeeded` is an empty array `[]`, the API does **not** issue _any_ approval requests. My understanding is that an empty `never` list should mean that **no tools are exempt** , so **every MCP tool call should require approval** but that’s not what happens. * * * #### **Problem 2: Using both`never` and `always` produces weird behavior as well** When using both filters the output is also not as expected. However I am to lazy to test any further. ### **Summary** The `require_approval` configuration appears to behave incorrectly when `tool_names` arrays are empty or when both `never` and `always` filters are used. Approval requests are triggered incorrectly. ##**Temp Fix** require_approval: noApprovalNeeded.length === 0 ? "always" : { never: { tool_names: noApprovalNeeded, }, },
