Galileo has a documented official MCP server (galileo-docs-4, galileo-probe-4) enabling access to Galileo capabilities from a dev environment, but the explicitly listed MCP capabilities are creating/managing datasets, running experiments, and setting up prompt templates—not querying traces, metrics, or eval results directly. No OpenAPI/API reference was discoverable (galileo-probe-3 returned 404s), so there's no clear evidence an agent can query traces/metrics/eval results programmatically for debugging via API or MCP. missing for 10: explicit MCP/API support for querying traces and metrics, evidence of eval-result retrieval via MCP, and a discoverable REST/OpenAPI spec for programmatic trace queries.
