--- Comment #5 from Mormegil <[email protected]> ---
As I have replied on the toolserver-l, I don’t see how this could be changed,
or how is the situation different to how it worked when the tools ran on
Toolserver. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:ToolserverBot and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Toolserver_IP

The possibility to inadvertently block the whole Tool Labs is unfortunate, but
I don’t really see any way to avoid it, when “anybody”’s tools (with “any”
code) can run and access WMF projects from there.

The only technical solution for _some_ of the tools, I am able to imagine (very
generally), would be to provide a separate server (with its own IP address)
running a simple WMF-managed proxy which would somehow pass along the original
user IP address (in a trusted XFF header). But this is probably just a crazy
complicated half-baked idea.
