# s58_a002

Graphiti MCP silently accepts memory writes without processing when OPENAI_API_KEY is missing from Docker env. No error is returned. This is a silent failure. Always verify Graphiti is PROCESSING (not just accepting) by checking that graph entities are created after writes. Fix: inject OPENAI_API_KEY + OPENAI_BASE_URL + MODEL_NAME into Docker env.
