August 25, 2026: Native WebMCP support

Y2 now exposes native WebMCP tools inside the authenticated web app so compatible browser agents can understand the current view and help users move through the product.

Context-aware browser tools

• Agents can inspect the current authenticated Y2 view and navigate to advertised product areas.
• Project pages expose compact tools for listing and opening projects in the active workspace.
• InfoOps pages expose compact tools for listing and opening personal or subscribed briefings.

Scoped by design

• WebMCP is registered only inside the authenticated app and uses existing workspace and profile access controls.
• The initial tools cannot change account or intelligence data; open actions only navigate the current tab.
• Unsupported browsers continue to use Y2 without any behavior change.

August 22, 2026: MCP expands agent access

Y2 MCP 0.2.0 gives agents broader read access, live API discovery, and explicit controls for actions that can change account data.

Broader agent access

• The local MCP server now exposes 52 tools by default across reports, News Terminal, Situation Room, Intel v2, profiles, Projects, Automations, webhooks, and public receipt lookup.
• Agents can inspect Y2 documentation and list API operations without an API key, then use scoped keys for protected data.
• y2_list_api_operations and y2_call_api let agents discover and call endpoints from the live OpenAPI contract when a dedicated typed tool is not available.

Safer optional actions

• Profile, Project, Automation, webhook, and subscription-delivery mutations remain hidden unless write tools are explicitly enabled and the API key has the matching scope.
• Agent Y2 remains disabled by default and requires a separate opt-in plus the agent:y2 scope.
• Transient rate-limit and service failures are retried automatically before reaching the client.

See the MCP setup guide, authentication and scopes, and OpenAPI guide.

August 7, 2026: Reliable API results, safer access, and updated plan limits

Y2 makes API results more complete and predictable, strengthens access checks around Automations, and updates profile limits across Free, Lite, and Pro.

More reliable API results

• Filtered list endpoints now continue through their underlying data until they can return a full matching page or reach the end, preventing false-empty and incomplete pages.
• API errors use stable public codes and messages without exposing internal Convex details.
• Response validation and the API contract now agree across reports, projects, Automations, profiles, webhooks, and Situation Room data.
• API Workbench responses preserve documented JSON, text, and audio behavior more consistently.

See the API overview, OpenAPI guide, and API Workbench.

Safer Automations

• Automation runs revalidate workspace write access before reserving or spending credits. If access changes during a run, Y2 stops the work and settles the reservation safely.
• API authorization failures now return the same status and error shape across Project and Automation routes.

Updated profile limits and Lite trial

• Pro supports up to 5 custom profiles, up to 20 community or global subscriptions, and a 20-profile combined workspace total.
• Lite continues to include 1 custom profile and 3 community subscriptions, does not include reusable branding templates, and starts with a 7-day trial during onboarding.
• Free supports 1 global or community profile total. Elite limits and pricing are unchanged.

August 5, 2026: Connected Explorer, Documents, and Project Evidence

Y2 makes private documents easier to organize, automatically connects report sources to Project Evidence, and opens entity exploration with useful relationship context.

Connected Explorer neighborhoods

• Opening an entity in Ad-hoc Explorer now loads a focused neighborhood of related entities and the connections between them instead of leaving an isolated node.
• Selecting another entity expands around it while preserving the temporary graph, making it easier to compare related intelligence before adding it to a Project.
• Y2 Copilot now works from the active temporary graph and selected entity, keeping its analysis grounded in what is visible without treating the session as a saved Project.
• Clear loading and retry states distinguish a relationship lookup from an entity with no known connections.

Broader private document support

• Documents now supports PDFs, word-processing files, spreadsheets, presentations, ebooks, and common text formats for private knowledge.
• PDFs retain page structure for more precise retrieval, while files that cannot be read reliably return a clear processing status instead of incomplete content.
• A simplified Documents library shows where each file is available, its current status, and the actions needed to manage or restore it.

Report sources become Project Evidence

• Linking a profile to a Project now adds supported web sources from its existing reports to Evidence and continues adding sources from future reports.
• Evidence keeps its connection to the originating report and source, making it easier to review the material behind an investigation.
• Sync status and retry controls make it clear when sources are still being added or need another attempt.
