Is the client signed in?
claude mcp list should show slaunt connected. For Codex, [mcp_servers.slaunt] should be in ~/.codex/config.toml and the browser login completed.2
Is it the workspace you're looking at?
Have the agent call
identity_context and compare workspace_name.3
Are hooks installed and loaded?
Look for Slaunt entries in
~/.claude/settings.json or ~/.codex/hooks.json. Hooks load at startup, so restart after installing. Without hooks, the model has to call the lifecycle tools itself.4
Did a run start?
Ask the agent which Slaunt tools it called. It needs a thread and a run (
run_begin or the UserPromptSubmit hook).5
Is it reporting progress?
About 45 seconds without
run_step and the agent looks stale.6
Codex only: is routing consistent?
Hook calls and tool calls must carry the same
threadId; otherwise they land on different threads.7
Is the workspace at its agent limit?
Extra agents are refused with
Agent quota has been hit, not queued.8
Was it archived?
Finished agents move to the archive.
Mcp-Session-Id.
Several chats in one row is expected: chats from the same client merge into one agent, each as its own thread.
