TOOLS_EXTERNAL_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE

Issue​

The app that the tool calls didn't respond in time or returned a server error. The problem is on the app's side, not in your connection or your request. While you connect a tool, this error means the app's sign-in service returned server_error or temporarily_unavailable.

Resolution​

  1. Wait a few minutes and try again. If you were connecting a tool or setting up a connector, click Connect again.
  2. Check the app's status page for an outage.
  3. If the error continues, ask your admin to check the app's status and any usage limits on the account that Glean uses. For a custom MCP server, the server's owner can check its logs.

For additional assistance, contact Glean Support.
