Triskell SP2 adds MCP actions and provider-data exclusions

Triskell’s [October 30 release](https://www.newswire.ca/news‑releases/triskell‑software‑unveils‑new‑ai‑capabilities‑in‑its‑2026‑sp2‑release‑891184251.html) says its new MCP server lets compatible external AI assistants retrieve project information, create project objects and record timesheet entries. Consider two hypothetical requests about the same project. One asks what time was recorded last week. The other asks to add an entry for Friday. They concern similar information, but the second proposes changing the record. A reviewer needs to identify the intended project, period and entry before treating that request as ready to carry out. OpenTools’ [MCP integration guide](https://opentools.ai/resources/claude‑code‑mcp‑integration) illustrates the broader distinction with examples of reading documents and updating tickets. That guide concerns Claude Code; it does not establish Triskell setup steps or assistant compatibility.

The [release](https://www.newswire.ca/news‑releases/triskell‑software‑unveils‑new‑ai‑capabilities‑in‑its‑2026‑sp2‑release‑891184251.html) describes a Data Security module for excluding sensitive attributes from information sent to external AI providers. It does not specify MCP write‑authorization rules. An administrator evaluating a proposed workflow therefore has two questions to resolve. Which information may be sent to the chosen provider? Separately, what change is being requested, by whom, and with what authorization? An answer about excluding a field does not supply the missing answer about approving a record change. These are questions for deployment review, not a description of controls OpenTools found in an account. The announcement alone cannot establish a permission configuration for a particular team.

An uploaded‑document AI Knowledge Base supplies RAG context, while administrator‑configured Custom AI Skills provide instructions for business contexts, according to the [announcement](https://www.newswire.ca/news‑releases/triskell‑software‑unveils‑new‑ai‑capabilities‑in‑its‑2026‑sp2‑release‑891184251.html). For a hypothetical project summary, a team can identify which project record is being discussed and which written policy informs the explanation. If those materials disagree, preserve the disagreement for review rather than silently treating one as permission to rewrite the other. A configured instruction, a retrieved passage and a requested change serve different purposes in that review. OpenTools did not connect an assistant, upload documentation or modify a project or timesheet. The release does not provide detailed access tiers or an authorization specification for the MCP actions.
