The ADK default timeout for MCP connections is 5 seconds, which is too low for MCP tools that chain through to Red Hat Insights APIs on console.redhat.com. This causes ReadTimeout errors and agent retries. Add two new environment variables: - MCP_TIMEOUT (default 60s): timeout for MCP tool calls - MCP_SSE_READ_TIMEOUT (default 300s): read timeout for SSE/HTTP streams Wire these through Settings -> MCPServerConfig -> connection params for all three transport modes (stdio, sse, http).
