note: >-
  Lifecycle posture read from the provider's own published statements and from live probes on
  2026-08-23. Kakao Entertainment publishes no API changelog, no deprecation policy, no SLA and no
  status page for any of its public surfaces; those are recorded as absent rather than omitted.
maturity:
  stage: beta
  declared_by_provider: true
  statement: >-
    "By enabling this app integration, you acknowledge that you are using an experimental Model Context
    Protocol (MCP) server to connect Melon with external large language models (LLMs). As this is an
    experimental beta tool, it is provided on an 'as is' basis. You may encounter bugs, errors, or
    unexpected results."

versioning:
  policy_published: false
  api_version: none
  note: >-
    The MCP endpoint carries no version segment and no version is declared in the tool set. The Melon
    Alliance Auth v3 authorization platform is separately versioned in its path (/auth/v3/), which is
    the only version marker anywhere on the surface.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: not observed
  deprecation_header: not observed
  rfc8594: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy, no notice period, and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header usage is
    published or was observed. No Deprecation pointer is emitted.
status_page:
  published: false
  probed:
  - url: https://status.melon.com/
    result: DNS does not resolve
  note: >-
    No status page was found for the MCP server, for Melon, or for Kakao Entertainment. No StatusPage
    pointer is emitted.
sla:
  published: false
  note: >-
    None. The provider explicitly disclaims reliability - the server is offered "as is" as an
    experimental beta tool.
changelog:
  published: false
  note: >-
    There is no dated API changelog. The only dated record of the surface is the engineering blog post
    that introduced it (2025-09-19, in Korean and English), and the blog is a general engineering blog
    rather than an API release feed. No ChangeLog pointer is emitted.

observed_drift:
  note: >-
    The live tool set has already diverged from the launch documentation - six tools named in the guide
    are absent from the running server and five tools on the running server are unnamed in the guide.
    With no changelog, a consumer has no way to learn when that happened.
