A tool call through an MCP connector was cut after the connector
package default of 60 seconds, while the model's own MCP servers allow
360 seconds. Research and document tools behind a connector take
minutes, so a saved agent lost them mid-turn with "connection closed:
calling tools/call: client is closing" and the model fell back to a
weaker tool.
The connector service now gets the MCP tool timeout the rest of
LocalAI uses (DistributedConfig.MCPToolTimeoutOrDefault, 360 s by
default). The package default and the per-call output cap are
unchanged.
Tests in core/application start the connector service on JSON stores
against a slow MCP server: the timeout defaults to the MCP tool
timeout, a tool slower than the old cap but within the timeout
returns, and a tool past the timeout is still stopped.
