 # @sanity/workflow-mcp
 
+## 0.26.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 4c7d489: A host embedding these tools in its own MCP server can now build an engine through the package rather than re-deriving the engine's client policy. Three new exports: `workflowClientConfig`, which layers the API version, request-tag family, and read perspective engine traffic requires over whatever base client config the host already uses; `createWorkflowEngine`, which binds an engine to one environment address without caching it (a server that rebuilds itself per request would never read a cache twice); and `workflowErrorText`, which renders a failure with its stable `kind` leading the message so the model branches on the same wording from every host. The `tag` parameter's model-facing description is also exported as `WORKFLOW_TAG_DESCRIPTION`, so a host declaring that parameter in its own vocabulary no longer has to paraphrase a caveat that was tuned deliberately.
+
+  `workflowClientConfig` pins `perspective: 'published'` explicitly. The engine's reads of its own documents pass no perspective and inherit the client's, and a host whose base config reads `raw` would otherwise surface a definition's draft as a second row. This changes nothing for the bundled stdio server, which already resolved to `published` via the engine's API version. Addressing is exclusive too: overlaying a dataset workflow removes any leftover `resource` from the host base (and the reverse), because `@sanity/client` prefers `resource` whenever both styles are present and would otherwise silently hit the wrong environment.
+
+  **No upgrade action required** — every change is additive, and the stdio server behaves identically. Hosts that already hand-rolled client and engine construction should switch to these exports to stop drifting from engine policy.
+
+  **Docs impact:** the MCP concept page and the embedding guidance should describe the host seam — `workflowClientConfig` + `createWorkflowEngine` + `workflowErrorText` as the supported way to embed the tools, replacing any example that builds a client and calls `createEngine` by hand, and noting that `WORKFLOW_TAG_DESCRIPTION` and `LIST_WORKFLOW_TAGS_DESCRIPTION` are the wording a host must reuse rather than rewrite.
