About Open Envelope
The full technical specification for the Envelope team definition format, agent structure, workspace documents, adapters, variables, secrets, and access policies., VS Code, JetBrains, and any SchemaStore-aware editor will validate *.envelope.json files automatically, no configuration needed. The Envelope team definition, the structure that describes agents, roles, hierarchy, escalation paths, required secrets, and adapters, is published as a formal, versioned open source specification. Anyone can read it, validate against it, and build tooling around it.
About Spanly
Observability for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Built for SaaS engineering teams shipping MCP in production, alongside the Datadog, Sentry, or New Relic you already run. That's how it can tell you a tool name is why agents pick the wrong tool, or a schema is why they pass bad arguments, not just that p95 moved. Health monitors connect to your MCP servers on a schedule, list their tools, prompts and resources, and alert your channels when a server goes down.
