# register_session_recovery [SUPPORT] cdd0ef6c — Create or reaffirm (upsert + heartbeat) this session's entry in the cross-client session recovery registry, so another client/session can tell whether it is resumable instead of guessing from a bare RC bridge id or transcript id. transport + optional local_identity (local_session_id, bridge_id, environment_id, argv — HOST-LOCAL ONLY) are used to compute a resume recipe and verified_resumable flag; local_identity itself is never written to the hosted registry, only to a host-local snapshot file. IMPORTANT: a remote_control transport with a bridge id but no environment_id is NOT assumed resumable (the RESCUE-D incident this registry exists to prevent) — verified_resumable will come back false with a reason. Persistent-state disclosure: on hosted Meridian, supplied text and project/session metadata -- including task log entries, pinned decisions, sprint items, notes, handoff/goal state, and HITL queue items -- are sent to and stored in Meridian's service, in an isolated per-tenant Postgres database (Neon); self-hosted deployments keep the same categories in the configured local SQLite/Postgres database. This data is visible in the dashboard and API, and may resurface in later project context or handoffs. Notes and pinned decisions can be deleted individually; task log entries and sprint items can be deleted via the dashboard/API (not exposed as an agent-facing tool); HITL queue items and handoff state have no per-record delete. Full removal of any of this data is available via project or account deletion, using the documented controls. Do not include secrets.

Used only to compute a resume recipe and | | `sprint_version` | string | no | | | `last_handoff_ref` | string | no | An id/label for the last handoff — never content. | | `lifecycle_status` | string | no | | | `last_checkpoint_ref` | string | no | An id/label for the last checkpoint — never content. | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "register_session_recovery", "arguments": { "transport": "", "session_id": "" } } } ``` ## Why register_session_recovery is rated Medium An AI agent can call register_session_recovery faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Meridian by the hundred, each call as confident as the last. Risk signals: High parameter count (12 properties) ## Use case AI agents use register_session_recovery to create or update resources in Meridian, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Meridian environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
