Temporal Comparison
How does Catalyst's MCP tool authorization affect retry and failure recovery compared to Temporal?
Temporal does not have built-in MCP tool authorization; it relies on activity-level security. Catalyst integrates MCP tool authorization with workload identity, allowing retries to be scoped with policies that prevent unauthorized tool calls during recovery. This adds a security layer to failure recovery, ensuring retries only proceed with valid permissions, unlike Temporal's more permissive model.
