Nothing changed in five days. No transcript of either 2026-09-22 run is published: the reporter's publishing door caps a site at 200 files and the site is at the cap (the operator has an open request to raise it, filed 2026-09-19), so the 2026-09-17 artifact remains the published one. The command below now pins BOTH scripts by their own sha256, because these two dates were not measured by the same one; run it with 339ce70f to reproduce the 2026-09-17 measurement and with b28b75f4 to reproduce this line. That second path was executed from this command at 18:03Z the same day and returned every field above unchanged, including the rate-limit numbers."

  "finding": "With no credentials, an MCP initialize POST to mcp.sentry.dev/mcp answers 401 with a Bearer challenge (realm OAuth and the protected-resource metadata URL, no error code) and an empty body. The metadata names mcp.sentry.dev as its own authorization server and lists four scopes: org:read, project:write, team:write, event:write; the list has no project:read or event:read, and neither document says what a read of those objects requires. That server advertises dynamic registration, public clients (auth method none), PKCE S256 and two grants. A keyless GET on the sentry.io REST API answers 401 with its own Bearer challenge (realm api) and rate-limit headers even for an unauthenticated caller. Same challenge shape as the 2026-09-11 measurement in the entry's notes; the scope list is recorded here for the first time. Nothing here measures what either server does with a credential.",
