AI Status

From v11.7.0, the AI Status reflects the status of the AI MCP connection. The in icon reflects AI calling Tinderbox and the out icon Tinderbox calling back to the to the AI. Possible states include disabled (grey), active (green), disconnected (red) or disabled in this TBX (lock symbol, for out only). This status indicator is intended to help diagnose issues when connecting to AI clients as an issue might occur at either/both sides of the connection. Also note:

  • If multiple AI MCPs are in use a red indicator will indicate one or more MCPs are malfunctioning.
  • If MCP is allowed by TinderboxEnable AI Integration but disallowed in the current document, the Tinderbox Inspector’s MCP status shows a lock icon for "output". This more accurately reflects the situation: MCP is allowed but won’t disclose information about this document.
