The orchestrator MCP doc still says agents can only reach threads in their own project. That stopped being true with #15219, which lets thread tools target any thread in the environment. Anyone reading the doc would think cross-project reads and sends are blocked.

This rewrites the stale passages in docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md to match the code on main:

• t3_thread_read, t3_thread_update, and t3_thread_send take any thread in the environment.
• t3_thread_list covers one project: projectId, else the calling thread's project.
• The policy section now says what limits cross-thread writes: the calling thread's live run, and a target whose modes are not broader than the caller's.
• The overview, the ThreadManagementService summary, and the test coverage list no longer call reads project-scoped.

Callers outside a thread (OAuth) are left for #15220 to document, since they cannot exist until it lands. A trial merge with #15699, which edits the same file, is clean.

Docs only. OrchestratorMcpToolkit.integration.test.ts on main already asserts that an in-thread agent reads, pins, and renames a thread in another project.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MCP server documentation now describes project-scoped thread listing defaults and environment-wide thread reads, updates, and sends. It documents conditions for cross-thread mutations and lists verification coverage for threads in another project.

Changes

Thread access documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document thread access scope docs/orchestration-v2/orchestrator-mcp-server.md	Thread listing accepts an optional project ID and otherwise uses the caller’s project. Thread reading, updating, and sending target threads across the environment. Cross-thread mutations require the caller’s live run, and the target’s runtime and interaction modes must not exceed the caller’s. Verification coverage includes listing and reading threads from another project.

Clarify the overview’s thread scope.

Line 12 groups incremental reads with project-scoped listing. Lines 22-24 also describe lookup as project-scoped. These statements conflict with the updated t3_thread_read behavior, which reads any thread in the environment. Update the overview to distinguish project-scoped listing from environment-wide reads, updates, and sends. The PR objective confirms these scopes.

Also applies to: 22-24

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Separate project-scoped listing from cross-project reads.

Line 12 says listing is project-scoped, but this bullet can imply that listing includes threads from another project. State the two tested scopes separately.

Proposed wording

-- thread listing and timeline reads, including another project's threads;
+- project-scoped thread listing; timeline reads for threads in another project;

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change

	- thread listing and timeline reads, including another project's threads;
